Description
This 30 minute large group activity is designed to help learners think about how data science principles and practices connect with undergraduate biology education. It introduces several definitions of data science including the description of data acumen provided in the National Academy of Sciences report on data science for undergraduates. The activity involves mapping the 10 key concepts involved in developing data acumen onto several scales (e.g., confidence in my skills, interest in building my skills). Participants do this individually and then compare their maps with their neighbor's.
There is a discussion forum where you are encouraged to ask questions, share ideas for how to use these materials and make them better.
