The PD Exchange

Tools to Help Students Think and Communicate Like Data Scientists

Part of NCTIES 2026
Friday 6 March 2026·4:30 pm

Jupyter Notebooks were invented by data scientists who needed a way to share not just code or data or math, but the reasoning that connected them. By combining analyses, visualization, and narrative in one place, Jupyter became a commonly used tool for communicating insights. This tool embodies the kind of thinking we want from today's students–not just formulas, but coherent reasoning that prepare them for the careers of the future. This session will showcase how Jupyter can be easily brought into even K12 classrooms through CKHub. We'll share examples of project-based learning, data-driven case studies, and creative student work such as portfolios and presentations. Participants will see practical strategies for bringing industry-standard technologies to a wide variety of students, equipping them with skills that are both academically valuable and career-aligned.
