The National Science Foundation awarded a $153,400 Project Grant under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070) to the University of Washington to develop youth data literacies through a visual programming environment. The one-year project will investigate using blocks-based programming with everyday information to teach secondary school students data science skills. A data-focused visual block-based programming toolkit will be created for students to manipulate and experience everyday data sources through filtering and information visualization. The toolkit will be iteratively developed and improved through formative studies with young people to advance understanding of design principles for engaging youth with diverse interests in programming with data. Workshops at the Teen Science Cafe run by the Morehead Planetarium and Science Center will involve youth in inventing and developing their own data tools. The goal is to advance knowledge of how to support youth in developing data-centric problem-solving abilities.
