Data Science 4 Everyone

Data Science 4 Everyone is a national initiative working to catalyze the adoption of data science as a fundamental component of K-12 education. DS4E facilitates a broad coalition of influential leaders in and out of U.S. education, seeded by support from Steven Levitt (Freakonomics), Arne Duncan (fmr. U.S. Secretary of Education), Linda Darling-Hammond (Learning Policy Institute, California State Board of Education), Eric Schmidt (fmr. CEO Google), Ken Griffin (CEO of Citadel), Scott Cook (co-founder of Intuit), and many others. Incubated at the University of Chicago Center for RISC and popularized by the 2019 Freakonomics podcast “America’s Math Curriculum Doesn’t Add Up,” DS4E is now expanding into a dedicated center at the University, striving to incorporate data science across all school subjects and grade-levels. Our core focus is to raise awareness and work with stakeholders across U.S. education to ensure every student is data literate by high school graduation.
