K12Science Podcast: Data Science Education, Part 3

I was recently reading the November-December 2025 issue of “The Science Teacher”, a publication of the National Science Teaching Association.

In this issue, I read a featured article written Matthias Fisher, Cody Pritchard, Zhen Xu, and Joshua Rosenberg. They wrote an article entitled, “Finding Your Way into Data Science Education as a Science Teacher.”

This is the third podcast in a series of three podcasts on the topics of Data, Data Science, and Data Science Education. In this article, the authors aimed to support science teachers without backgrounds in data science. by addressing three major challenges:

1. The lack of training to teach data science.

2. The difficulty of designing relevant and engaging data science lessons.

3. The challenge of teaching data science with limited technological resources.

In this podcast I address challenge #3 – the challenge of teaching data science with limited technological resources.
