Where Passion Meets Analytics Education
About us
Data analytics program that upskills youth with data skills to innovate with emerging tech now. As we go further into the 4th Industrial Revolution, analytics and critical thinking skills are in demand at an all time high across all industries. As students speak and communicate non verbal with analytics everyday. From media, graphs, GIFs, reports, sports etc. that we consume and produce. How do you prepare them to utilize those skills? Our curriculum is the link to bridge this educational gap and develop those skill sets. We build on the common core skills learned within the classroom. KidAlytics leverages these lessons by incorporating critical thinking exercises and concepts that apply to everyday life through our live courses and gamification. Analytics is for everyone; not just Statisticians or Coders. It’s used by researchers, engineers, social workers, scientists, plumbers, community activists, entrepreneurs, doctors, computer scientists and the list goes on. Allowing youth to learn the skills to achieve their dream goals in any industry.

In our daily lives, data is always present—whether it’s conveyed through voice, text, or print. Data literacy is no longer a luxury but a necessity for effectively navigating and thriving in our data-driven environment. We are continuously producing and consuming vast amounts of data, and the ability to understand and utilize this information is crucial. 🔍 Why Data Literacy Matters: Individuals with strong data literacy skills are not just passive consumers of information—they are innovators and creators. In an era dominated by #AI and #Automation, these skills empower individuals to: 💡Innovate to develop new solutions and drive technological advancements. 💡Create to transform raw data into meaningful insights that can influence decisions and strategies. 💡Leverage Data for Good to Use data to address societal challenges and promote #SocialGood. #KidAlytics empowers students with the skills to not just consume data, but to innovate and create in today’s #datadriven landscape. 🤖 Our Mission is to equips students with essential data tools and visualization platforms. By developing these skills now, we’re preparing the next generation to disrupt the workforce positively and lead with confidence. 🚀📈 Join us in fostering a growth mindset and upskilling youth and emerging adults for a data-driven future! #Education #STEM #Data #Literacy #Upskilling #GrowthMindset #FutureLeaders

As money runs out in schools districts across the nation, math is still a problem for many students. Between fall 2019 and 2022, national test scores sank four points in reading and nine points in math for 13-year-olds. While scores have started to improve, researchers at the testing nonprofit NWEA estimated last summer that the average American eighth-grader would still need the equivalent of nine more months of schooling to catch up in #math, compared with seven extra months in reading. https://lnkd.in/gHfFYS2H #reimagineeducation #stem #kidalytics #students #data

This week marked the start of our 6x3 Project Series with two new cohorts of the Bright Project and the Future Leaders Project! ☀️ Over the next six weeks, these middle school and high school students of Chicago will explore the exciting intersection of business, coding, data analytics, and design. Our Bright students will use their new knowledge to develop solutions to authentic industry challenges, while our Future Leaders take on the task of creating their own futures exchange. 💛 Thank you to CME Group and City Colleges of Chicago-Harold Washington College for giving these young innovators the space necessary to learn, grow, and ideate!

As we evolve into more ways of using and analyzing data. Data literacy skills are in high demand. Upskilling must involve youth and emerging adults to properly equip them with the skills to innovate and create the business and innovations of now and the future. Artificial Intelligence is becoming integrated into everything we do. Yesterday, it was Google search; today, it's the Apple iPhone. Tomorrow, who knows? For these models to work, it needs the data we produce daily to grow in real-time. #iot Those with #data and #digitalliteracy skills are and will be more proficient at leveraging these #technologies. Becoming leaders and decision-makers in these emerging fields of data and STEM. #kidalytics #education #datascience #dataanalytics #ai #growthmindset

Data literacy has declined even more rapidly for some historically underrepresented students. For instance, eighth-grade Black students scored 18 points lower in Data Analysis, Statistics, and Probability compared to the 2011 exam. There are large racial gaps in student outcomes when it comes to data literacy. These gaps exist across all grade levels but are at times most egregious at the middle and high school levels. For instance, fourth-grade Black students scored 28 points lower than their white peers in the Data Analysis, Statistics, and Probability section of the NAEP math exam. Put differently, it would take an additional three years of academic progress for fourth-grade Black students to perform at the level of their white peers in data literacy. Eighth-grade Black students scored 34 points lower than their white peers, or are over three years behind. Bridging these gaps will take communities, public-private partnerships, and polices to ensure appropriate resources are avaiable to make impactful outcomes. #kidalytics #education ##dataanalytics #dataliteracy #growthmindset

Although data literacy is widely acknowledged as essential, there remains a significant gap between recognition and practical implementation. According to a 2021 Forrester report, only 48% of academic institutions have implemented data literacy initiatives despite being the most sought-after skill for entry-level positions. In essence, this disconnect in data literacy education highlights a critical issue in our education system: The skills being taught need to align with the demands of the modern job market. The need for a more systemic integration of data literacy into curriculums is evident, and this shift would benefit not only students and their future employers but society as a whole. KidAlytics' 👉 mission is to fill this gap by empowering youth with data skills that can be used across sectors. This is a commitment to equity and economic stability for individuals, their families, and their communities. #dataliteracy #techleaders #kidalytics #youthdevelopment #leadershipdevelopment #stemeducation
