Course Description
In this hands-on mini-course, students become “data detectives” and learn how to explore, analyze, and visualize real-world data. Through fun activities, they will discover patterns, create simple graphs, and use digital tools to turn raw numbers into clear insights. No experience is needed—just curiosity! By the end of the week, students will understand how data helps us make decisions in science, sports, technology, and everyday life.
