Dear community, Colleagues of mine (copied here) have received funding from the SA government to run an introduction to data science course for high school learners (16 & 17 years old). We had some preliminary discussions about content, but I have no experience with that age group - what they know and don't know and how applicable the Carpentries materials might be to them.
They specifically want to focus on Python. The course will run in July and they'll also host a datathon in December, where the learners will have an opportunity to participate in a competition to show off their skills. This means there is an opportunity to continue working with the learners between July and December, but taking their school work into consideration. Does anybody have a curriculum that have been taught to that age group that could help them think through their own curriculum? Any advice, resources, pointers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks as always!
