Source Code Session #8: Enough Data Science To Be Dangerous: Data Science Across Disciplines

LIMITED

Tuesday July 14, 2026 9:00am - 10:15am EDT

SC Governor's School for Science and Mathematics Building (GSSM)

Limited Capacity seats available

This session will engage participants in the development of a cross-disciplinary data science course aimed at students and teachers with no prior coding background. It introduces the fundamentals of Data Science across subject areas with an introduction of Python and with Jupyter notebooks. This session will challenge participants to imagine an introductory CS course that cuts across all subjects and can be taught by someone from any department with a little motivation. All backgrounds, subject areas, and skill-levels welcome.

Now that participants understand the goal and exciting potential of this course, we will start exploring the design and content of the course. In the first part of the workshop we will do a group data science activity to get used to Jupyter Notebooks and Python. In the second part of the workshop attendees will be given time to explore resources and build their own lesson in a chosen disciplinary area with the aim of building a library of activities across disciplines that could be used by this introductory course for teachers across the state.
