This initiative includes inquiry-driven, play-based, and project-based data literacy curriculum that takes students from a research question to collecting, analyzing, and presenting real evidence to target audiences. In addition, we provide workshops and training that help teachers and administrators build data literacy into civics projects, and guide students through the process.
