Nationally there is a movement in high schools to offer "data science" as an alternative to algebra 2 level math, and to enhance traditional science courses with data-related tasks and spreadsheet skills. This is music to our ears in the STEMcoding project where we work to re-imagine introductory science and math courses!
The first STEMcoding data science activity was released back in 2017 with what would eventually become our <ahref="http://go.osu.edu/earthdaycoding">Earth Day Hour of Code</a> activity. We've been building data science content ever since with the help of [multiple](https://u.osu.edu/stemcoding/2021/10/29/stemcoding-data-science-selected-for-2021-aip-meggers-award/)[grants](https://u.osu.edu/stemcoding/2025/07/20/stemcoding-wins-20k-grant-for-data-science/) for curriculum development.

Now we are ready to share [our curriculum](activities.html#category=Data\ Science) and [Spreadsheet](activities.html#category=Spreadsheets) with the world! For two weeks starting July 7, 2026 we will offer online and hybrid (in person + online) training to teach this curriculum.

Our high school data science curriculum emphasizes spreadsheet skills with Google Sheets and Excel. Importantly, our activities align with the [intro level Excel industry credential](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/certifications/mos-excel-2019/#certification-exams) so that students in a year long data science course with our curriculum will be ready to take the certification exam (which is not as crushingly difficult as other industry credential exams). Now we are ready to share [our curriculum](activities.html#category=Data\ Science) with the world!
