This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant, funded through the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program, aims to improve fundamental analytical skills for STEM students in large classroom settings with significant enrollment of students from groups historically underrepresented in STEM. The $453,614 award to the Regents of the University of California at Riverside (UC Riverside) will utilize a theme-based approach to enhance data literacy, broaden the potential data science workforce, and address the diversity gap. The project will design and assess a personalized, engaging learning experience that fosters conceptual understanding, reduces barriers, and provides self-paced materials with real-life examples. After implementation at UC Riverside, where over 1,700 students are taught annually, the team will disseminate the theme-based learning materials and conduct workshops to support new faculty in adopting this model at other institutions.
