Description
Dr Linda McIver was teaching Computational and Data Science when she finally figured out how to engage students with technology. It wasn't using toys or making games - it was doing something real. Using Data Science to solve real world problems turns out to be a way of engaging all genders and personality types with STEM skills. But it's more than just engagement with STEM! When you're solving real problems, there's no textbook solution, no way of knowing that your answers are correct, or that your solution is the best one. So now students have to critically evaluate their own work. They have to develop creative problem solving skills, advanced critical thinking skills, and ways of considering the ethical implications of their solutions. Now they're doing real things! Raising Heretics lays out a path from a world of ideological blindness and anti-science rhetoric to one with rational, evidence based policy, by teaching our kids to be critical, creative, ethical thinkers who aren't afraid to challenge the status quo.
