Rock-it with Data Science!
We are excited to collaborate with Club for the Future and introduce your students to the data science process. In this free and interactive Excel based curriculum, students use data and a step-by-step data science process to simulate the decision-making process that data scientists in a command center use to give a Go/No-Go signal for a rocket launch. Get ready to inspire your students and launch their data science journey in your classroom!
Get Free ‘Intro to the Data Science Process’ Resources from Microsoft Learn Educator Center: In this mission, students first formulate and ask questions related to factors that influence the stability of a rocket as it travels through the atmosphere. Then, they organize the data using Excel tools to gain meaningful insights. Next, students learn how to create charts and graphs using an AI enhanced feature in Excel. In the final step, students interpret the visualized data to make a Go/No-Go determination for a rocket launch. Throughout the mission, students hear from real data scientists about how they use data every day! With successful completion of all mission steps, students earn Space Data badges and a completion certificate.
