Since august 2023
Data science and big data in schools project
Funding phase III
01.08.2023 until 31.07.2026
The aim of the project is to develop further materials on the topics of analyzing environmental data, epistemic programming, data awareness, from regression to artificial neural networks. To this end, we are developing a server infrastructure that can provide digital support for teachers in their classrooms. Our professional development courses are being further developed and offered nationwide as online professional development courses.
In the further development of all materials, we are working towards the goal of "Data Science for all".
since 2022
The online self-study course "TreesDIY" on AI-Campus
As an extension to the ProDaBi project, a free online self-study course on one of our lesson series is being developed and published in the associated "BaeumeDIY" project, funded by the BMBF.

Computer Science as a compulsory subject in NRW in grades 5 and 6: Two new ProDaBi lesson series
As part of the introduction of the compulsory subject of computer science in North Rhine-Westphalia in grades 5 and 6 (NRW) and a focus on data science and artificial intelligence in the new curriculum, we have been developing, testing and evaluating two series of lessons on the topics of data awareness and machine learning with decision trees for grade 6 since 2021. At the beginning of 2022, these series of lessons will be published in the School Internal Curriculum (SILP) NRW.

Project continuation: Data science and big data in schools project
Funding phase II
01.10.2019 until 31.07.2023
In the second funding phase of the project, we have expanded the research and material development to secondary level I for grades 5/6 and 8-10. In addition, professional development courses for teachers are continuously being developed and carried out in cooperation with the district governments of Arnsberg, Detmold and Münster. The project develops tools for CODAP, Jupyter notebooks and Python.
since 2019
The project course in the upper secondary school
In cooperation with the Gymnasium Theodorianum of the city of Paderborn and the PIN-Lab of the University of Paderborn, the one-year project course "Data Science" is being held for the first time.
The pupils are working on various AI models and developing a system that predicts free parking spaces in Paderborn city center.

Project launch: Data science and big data in schools project
Funding phase I
01.05.2018 until 30.09.2019
The project is developing research-based concepts and teaching materials to promote data science in school education. We take an interdisciplinary approach to promoting data literacy, data awareness and a basic understanding of how artificial intelligence and its applications work.
2017
Paderborn Symposium on Data Science Education
