Greetings,
My co-authors, Rachel Saidi, Helen Burn, Ben Baumer, Zarek Drozda, Debzani Deb, and I wrote a recently published article which explores diverse pathways to data science for various groups, including high school students, those in two-year colleges, and students in small colleges and minority-serving institutions. The article identifies opportunities and challenges associated with pursuing data science for students in these sectors, including factors such as building partnerships and awareness of the field and difficulties in establishing articulation agreements between institutions.
Special shout out to the Academic Data Science Alliance (ADSA), and in particular, Micaela Parker, for providing the platform for us to collaborate on this paper!
We hope you find our paper valuable as you consider building diverse pathways to data science!
