Today, the ability to make sense of data is essential. We need next generation solutions to improve data literacy for global citizenry, and career and college pathways related to statistics and data science.
Industry professionals, as well as educational experts, have called for an increased emphasis on data literacy in schools, integrated throughout the K-16 curriculum. The HI-RiSE team aims to help create positive, effective statistics and data education environments in a variety of ways.
