Petrosino and Others Invited to NSF Funded 2016 Youth Data Science Summit- University of California, Berkeley

On August 11-12 2016 the University of California, Berkeley’s Graduate School of Education and School of Information co-hosted the Youth Data Science Summit 2016. Funded by the NSF Cyberlearning and Future Learning Technologies program (award abstract #1541676), the Summit brought together researchers from different communities already active in this emerging field, to promote cross dialogue between those working in computer science/information visualization and in education. I was glad to have been part of this incredible meeting.

This meeting brought together researchers from different communities. Spaces were limited and acceptance was decided in consultation with the advisory board, with the goals of building a diverse group that represents many related fields relevant to youth, learning, and data science.
