Learn@Pawsey
Pawsey receives numerous requests for high school student incursions and excursions. To scale our outreach efforts, Pawsey has created Learn@Pawsey (learn.pawsey.org.au).
The goal of Learn@Pawsey is to immerse students into a world data through topics and surveys of interest to them, such as sleep and space. Data is created from students and analysed by students to build skills in one or more of Maths, Digital Technologies, Science, Health, Integrated Studies, and more.
The data is about the students. And because the data is real, the students' questions about the data are real.
Learn@Pawsey has partnered with schools and scientists to create scientists' videos and a variety of teachers' resources, including ideas for activities and assessments (in alignment with Australian curricula). Additionally, students can explore the world of graphs (and soon, python coding). Stay tuned, as the site continues to grow!
