Description
The modern world is a very data-driven place, bristling with repositories of openly available information, yet these resources are seldom used in education below university levels. In this talk we present the case for secondary school level use of open, authentic “real world” data and easily accessible programming as cross-disciplinary tools for advancing the students' scientific literacy and broader subject knowledge. Feedback from teacher trainings, student workshops and school courses between 2016-2022 indicates a very positive reception with topics ranging widely from analysis of particle physics data from the CMS experiment at CERN to climate questions or sociological problems.
