Welcome, young designers and tech enthusiasts! Today, we’re going on a thrilling mission into the world of data science. Data science is like being a detective who uses clues (data) to solve mysteries and make important decisions!
Imagine this: Your favorite snack shop has a variety of treats, and they want to find out which snacks are the most popular among kids your age! They need your help to collect and analyze data so they can create the ultimate snack menu.
Become a Data Detective: You will collect information (data) about snacks from your classmates. What’s their favorite snack? How many kids like chips, candies, or fruits?
Set Up Data Collection: Create a simple survey with questions like:
Gather Your Data: You will walk around and ask your classmates these questions. Remember, you’re on a mission, so gather all the data you can!
Organize the Data: Once you’ve collected your data, we will practice sorting and counting how many kids chose each snack.
Data Visualization: You will learn how to make simple bar graphs or pie charts to show which snacks are the winners in our class.
By the end of our lesson, you’ll not only have fun sharing your favorite snacks, but you will also understand how data science helps us make better choices! Are you ready to become a data detective and uncover the mysteries behind snack choices? Let’s get started! 🎈
Remember, every great discovery starts with curious questions. Today, you’ll ask, collect, and unlock the secrets of data together!
