Data Science Starter Kit Module 3: Making Sense of Data - Analysis and Modeling
Welcome to the exciting part of data science—making sense of the information you’ve collected! This module focuses on how to analyze data to find patterns, understand what the numbers really mean, and start drawing conclusions.🔗
Analysis and Modeling isn’t about complex mathematics or advanced statistics. It’s about developing the thinking skills to look at data and ask, “What story is this telling me? What patterns do I notice? What questions does this raise?” Whether students are working with simple tally marks or sophisticated datasets, the fundamental thinking is the same.
