Abstract: In this talk, I will give an overview of the Johns Hopkins Data Science Lab: who we are, what are our goals, and the types of projects we are working on to make data science accessible world-wide. Then, I will discuss projects that I have focused on related to data science education, including developing the Open Case Studies educational resource that educators can use in the classroom to teach students how to effectively derive knowledge from data derived from real-world challenges.
