Telling Climate Stories with Data

a week-long data science & machine learning course for high schoolers about finding narratives in climate data

In collaboration with Matt Taylor and Rachel Connolly, I developed a weeklong data science and machine learning curriculum that teaches high schoolers how to analyze climate data using Python through a narrative lens. The curriculum stresses how all data tells a story and provides high schoolers with ways to find the story in their chosen data.

The curriculum uses DeepNote notebooks and the Python library pandas. At the end, students produce a piece of data theatre and have learned how to analyze, clean, and visualize their data, as well as how to create a predictive machine learning model with their data.

The curriculum can be found on the Day of AI webpage here.
