In an era where data science skills are increasingly in demand across industries, it's imperative to ensure equitable access to data science education. This session will delve into the barriers that students face when pursuing data science courses and discuss strategies for creating inclusive ramps and pathways to make these courses accessible to all.
Experts will discuss the need for collaborative work between K-12, community colleges, and four-year schools to make students aware of the emerging field of data science, and existing projects that seek to address alignment challenges. We will also discuss a new white paper organized by ADSA members on the topic. Join us for an engaging and thought-provoking discussion on how we can collectively work towards dismantling barriers and creating pathways for all students to thrive in data science.
