This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) supports a multi-year, qualitative research study to explore how diverse youth enact community-situated data practices (CCDP) as they engage in youth participatory action research (YPAR) projects. The award to Michigan State University, totaling $1,736,866 over the period of September 2024 to August 2029, aims to broaden STEM research and education by centering the cultural epistemologies and perspectives of racially, ethnically, linguistically, and socioeconomically diverse communities. The research will investigate how youth leverage CCDP to collect, analyze, represent, and communicate data within and about their communities, with the goal of fostering youth agency and future interests in data science. This work contributes to the emerging literature on data science and has implications for how diverse students participate in and contribute to the field. No sub-awards are planned under this grant.
