[Edu-sig] probability and statistics demo for kids

I am thinking of doing a simplified interactive presentation on probability and Bayesian statistics for my kids' elementary school. I think it would probably be best for 6-8th graders, but there might be ways to do this for younger students. I'd like to run some Python code to show probability

Yes, interesting post. It would be great to see calculus taught in Jupyter notebooks. Allen Downey's work is great. I am watching his SciPy 2017 computational stats talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=He9MCbs1wgE Also, interesting, Christopher Fonnesbeck - Introduction to Statistical
