Course Overview

Data Driven Decision Making (3DM) is a course designed by Dan Lakis when he was the Vice Principal and Founding Teacher at Ad Astra School on the campus of SpaceX.

Many future skills rankings include things like “Computational Thinking”, “Sense Making”, and “Design Mindset”. These represent an ability to take a problem, make sense of the problem by breaking it into smaller parts, design a process to solve the problem, and then use numbers to come to a solution.

This class is designed to support growth in those critical skills. Students will be given practice at solving large and unwieldy problems. As a starting point, they will learn skills in Google Sheets which will allow them to use numbers to come to supportable solutions. This is a unique class that has been taught and refined over 7 years teaching in one of the most innovative school environments on the planet.  Dan is looking forward to continuing to share these concepts with students across the world through The Network.

In this first level of 3DM, the focus will be on building skills in data analysis and critical thinking while young learners also gain knowledge and a framework for comparing countries around the globe. These skills will be necessary to engage with future 3DM classes where we will focus on using data to support decision-making using Google Sheets (3DM II) and eventually expanding to leverage SQL and Python (industry standard data science coding languages) to perform our analyses (3DM III).

Upon purchasing this product you will be given access to an exclusive Class Group on The Network platform where classes will be held and discussions about the course occur.
