ThinkData Ed Participatory Sensing & Technology Suite
Your partner in data science education.
Data Science and Technology Belong Hand in Hand
ThinkData Ed curricula make effective use of a variety of helpful pieces of technology, both within the classroom and on student’s mobile devices.
Technology makes it possible for students to conduct their own research and analysis, enabling curiosity while developing in-demand career skills and modern knowledge.
Participatory Sensing is a data-collection paradigm that uses students’ mobile devices to join a data collection campaign to address questions that are meaningful to the students. These campaigns are the center-piece of the IDS curriculum, and turn students from observers to active data scientists.
You can learn more about our technology and ‘test drive’ it all below.
