Our Areas of Focus
Research
Build a research-based learning progression to make meaning from data.Refine our understanding of challenges faced by learners confronted with increasingly sophisticated data and tools.
Development and Testing
Transform science education to prepare students for a data-intensive world.Develop rigorously-tested model learning environments - curricula, professional development, and technology tools - that effectively engage and support students in learning from and about data.
Intellectual Hub
Bring together experts and stakeholders to forge new pathways.Bring together experts in traditional STEM disciplines with experts from newly developing fields such as data analytics and interface design to solve the hard problems necessary to infuse data into classrooms.
