 on-research-online-seminars/\n\nData science is the ability to collect\, a
 nalyse\, interpret\, and communicate and ask questions about data. As tech
 nology makes it easier to collect vast amounts of data\, the skills to use
  data to solve problems will become even more important to today’s learn
 ers.\nThis session will introduce you to how data literacy can be taught i
 n primary and early years education across different curricular areas. We 
 will see how learners can explore data to solve real-life problems to bene
 fit their schools and communities. We will look at digital and non-digital
  pedagogical approaches to teaching data science and the range of availabl
 e resources and ideas\, including our popular live lessons that have been 
 played by over 20\,000 learners. \n \nJoin us to find out how learners can
  explore data through everyday objects like Lego bricks\; investigate thei
 r world by seeing data from the pressure waves from volcanoes\; and use da
 ta to defeat a group of eco-friendly\, yet villainous\, Vikings!\n\nSpeake
 r\n\nKate Farrell is an educator with expertise in data science\, computin
