The Data Literacy Club is a dynamic and engaging program designed for young people aged 8 to 13. This club provides a fun and interactive environment where children can develop essential data skills through hands-on activities and collaborative projects. Participants will learn the basics of data collection, analysis, and visualization, empowering them to understand and interpret the world around them. Additionally, the club includes Life Skills Training, which focuses on developing essential skills such as critical thinking, problem-solving, teamwork, and effective communication. By fostering curiosity and these vital life skills, the Data Literacy Club aims to inspire the next generation of data-savvy individuals, equipping them with the knowledge and abilities to navigate an increasingly data-driven society.
With a background in Computer Science, I completed my B.Sc. at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, and pursued postgraduate studies at the University of Edinburgh, earning M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees. I joined Public Health Scotland as an Information Analyst. Enrolling in the PDA in Data Science program in 2022, I expanded my skills and knowledge, which significantly contributed to my promotion to Senior Information Analyst. I highly recommend the PDA in Data Science course for its comprehensive training, diverse tutors, and focus on technical and soft skills. Thank you, Datakirk, for this valuable opportunity.
