Itโs never too early to get excited about data, especially in todayโs world, where connectivity and technology play such a key role in everything from marketing to entertainment to business strategy. Weโre passionate about data, and we look forward to future generations sharing that passion. And to help encourage this passion, the Nielsen Foundation recently launched Discover Data, a signature education initiative in collaboration with Discovery Education dan The Afterschool Alliance. The program provides resources to students ages 11 to 14 that create excitement about the power of data analysis. The initiative includes student activities and career profiles.
Nielsen Foundation, sebuah yayasan swasta yang didanai oleh Nielsen, berupaya mendukung organisasi-organisasi yang bekerja untuk mengurangi diskriminasi, mengurangi kelaparan global, mempromosikan pendidikan yang efektif, dan membangun kepemimpinan yang kuat-terutama melalui penggunaan data.
Discover Data was designed to increase awareness about the power of data and data science; inspire students to pursue data-driven careers; and connect youth with career role models. Educators and programs can visit the Discover Data website to access resources for classrooms and after-school programs.
โData can show us new and interesting things about the people and the world around us, and through Discover Data, we want to bring data to life and make it relatable for these young students,โ said Crystal Barnes, Executive Director of the Nielsen Foundation. โToday, the use of data is part of so many careers across multiple industries, and we want to help students understand, have access to, and be excited about their opportunities and choices ahead.โ
Kegiatan di kelas mendukung para pendidik dan sukarelawan saat mereka mendemonstrasikan bagaimana data dapat digunakan untuk menjawab pertanyaan otentik dan memecahkan masalah dunia nyata. Di bawah ini adalah beberapa pertanyaan yang dapat diselidiki oleh para siswa:
- A Winning Smile: Does an athlete need to win games or have the highest scores to be an effective spokesperson for a brand or product?
- Premium Products: Is it better to bring a high-price โpremiumโ product into a category with lots of similar goods or fewer similar goods?
- Millennial Movement: How will the media consumption habits of Millennials change by the year 2050?
Profil karier tentang ilmuwan data, insinyur penjualan, dan analis inovasi menunjukkan tanggung jawab dan beragam peluang yang tersedia saat mengejar karier berbasis data.
Program Discover Data juga akan melibatkan komunitas sukarelawan Nielsen yang beragam, aktif, dan inovatif yang dapat berbicara tentang ilmu data dan membantu memberikan kegiatan Discover Data di kelas dan program setelah sekolah di komunitas lokal mereka. Sekolah-sekolah dapat meminta kunjungan dari pakar data dunia nyata yang akan mendiskusikan karir mereka dan mengajak siswa melalui aktivitas Discover Data. Sekolah dan program setelah sekolah juga diundang untuk mengakses sumber daya sendiri kapan saja tanpa biaya.
