Data science is a combination field of mathematics and statistics. It primarily consists of classifying, sorting and arranging data into usable segments and packets. Companies and organizations use data science across the globe to process and use information to their advantage. Google and Facebook are some of the largest collectors of data, thus are the most prolific users of data science in their operations. Data Science has applications in varied fields like finance, technology, logistics and many more. It is being used as a way to make sense of the huge amount of information transfers taking place in this technology age that we’re currently in. As hi-tech data science gets, its principles are simply to make information usable. Here’s how LEGO® Education SPIKE™ Prime teaches this to young brilliant minds:
Problem solving in the real world
Critical thinking is primary to data science and SPIKE™ Prime enables the young students to develop this kind of a thought process. Analyzing problems and then breaking them down into smaller problems is the first part of teaching data science, and that’s exactly how it’s done. This enables young students to develop ideas that help solve complex real world problems with the tests and prototypes they build.
Motivates students to become confident creators
Trial and error is a part and parcel of learning data science. While the science is exact, the methods in which it can be used is endless and involves various concepts being employed. Building, segmenting and rebuilding are part of the data processing that help young students create prototypes that are innovative solutions to the problems of the world. This method of trial and error helps children develop confidence in their capabilities as creators and problem solvers.
Real-world programming with Python
Python is one of the primary languages being used in data science. Learning Data science from its foundations with LEGO® Education SPIKE™ Prime helps introduce the language to young learners, while enabling them to create a foundation for their knowledge in coding languages at large. They are also introduced to the syntax that is used in Python to work on more complex projects like algorithms, data structures, machine learning and even artificial intelligence.
Explore the power of data-science
The engaging learning methods of LEGO® Education SPIKE™ Prime enable young students to learn theories in data science while also getting a great deal of know-how with practical projects. The students can explore data science through structured learning provided to them along with real world relationships being established between the various functions of data science. With the freedom to explore the various functionalities of data science, students learn how to categorize, label and segment data, which is essentially used for far more complex applications of data science.
Create a foundation for learning about AI
Spike prime is a platform that enables students to address their curiosity as well as introducing them to concepts that provide a deeper understanding of AI. For instance, students who use this platform can access its Hub accelerometer which allows them to explore real-world movement, along with the Gyro Sensor that tracks and analyses movement fundamental to human activity and recognition
LEGO® Education SPIKE™ Prime combines STEAM lessons with LEGO bricks, a programmable multi-port Hub, and Scratch- and Python-based coding languages. It enables students to explore topics such as the design process and data science, setting the foundation for learning about real-world technologies like machine learning and artificial intelligence. With adoptions across GCC, UAE, Dubai, and the rest of Middle East, SPIKE™ Prime has been effective at creating a learning experience that is effective and impactful for the young students.
