US-based company Tableau Data Kids offers fun, educational information for kids (ages 5 – 13) to consume, while teaching them about data collection and visualisation of data. Through engaging activities and interactive visualisations, Tableau is inspiring kids to explore the data all around them, to aid data literacy.
The program aims to help parents who are home teaching to help them better understand how data skills are becoming more important in society, by equipping them with the right tools and resources for educational success, to improve kids’ data literacy.
Online resources
The online teaching program comprises webinars, interactive visualisation galleries, blog posts (how-tos, tips & tricks) and additional resources.
The program is built around the following four pillars to help foster stronger data exploration:
- Encourage observation and curiosity
- Support creativity and imagination
