On March 24 at 12 PM (EST), please join Carolina Data Science Now for “Transforming Youth Advocacy.” The event will feature three lightning talks by professors and researchers in UNC-Chapel Hill’s academic community, centered around how data science tools are applied to create safe, enriching environments for the growth and development of minors. Speakers will include Iheoma Iruka (Public Policy & FPG Child Development Institute), Milton Suggs (FPG Child Development Institute), and Emily Putnam-Hornstein (School of Social Work).
These talks will be followed by a guided panel, an opportunity for questions and answers with the speakers, and a discussion with the data science community at UNC-Chapel Hill, where we’ll collaboratively examine the ways that researchers can get involved and help set children up for success in STEM fields from a young age.
