Best Fit: High School Data Science as a Bridge to CS

Slides
CSTA Conf2026
This session will introduce a one-semester high school data science course adapted from UC Berkeley’s Data 6 curriculum. Using Berkeley’s materials as a foundation, the presenters redesigned the course structure, pacing, and labs to create a more project- and exploration-based experience that makes college-level data science concepts accessible to high school students. Participants will complete a lab, participate in simulated class activities, and explore options for including local datasets to make the material more relevant to students. We’ll share how...
