WiDS Education Outreach for Secondary Schools

WiDS Education Outreach

for Secondary Schools

We invite you to join us in introducing Data Science to students! We’ve designed materials that are suitable for Secondary School educators in maths, physical sciences, social sciences, computers and more. They can also be used in clubs and for other student programs.

Want to test the waters? Start with our introductory video:

Overview Video: “What’s up with Data Science and Why Should I Care?”, showcasing “Day in the Life” of several outstanding young women in data science/AI careers.

The Education Outreach program is organized by the WiDS Worldwide team with the WiDS Education Outreach Committee and WiDS Education Outreach Student Advisors

About Women in Data Science (WiDS) Education Outreach Program

WiDS Education Outreach strives to inspire secondary school students to take relevant courses and consider future careers involving data science, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and other related areas. We particularly encourage younger women and girls to consider these STEM fields by showing examples of successful women in technology roles.

In addition, we strive to impress on all students that there are already excellent women in technical roles related to data science, and that diversity and inclusion are extremely important. We emphasize the real-world applications, as well as the societal and environmental impact of data science.
