A beginner-friendly guide to understanding and using data in real life.
This course introduces students from all backgrounds to the core ideas and tools of data science. Combining key principles from statistics, computer science, and real-world applications, it teaches learners how to think critically about data—and how to apply it immediately to real questions and challenges in life and work.
Students learn through a hands-on, structured approach known as the STAR framework:
Real stories, case studies, and applied exercises bring concepts to life across domains like business, healthcare, tech, sports, and the environment. Practice is built in through Try It Yourself activities, tool-specific tech tips, and projects using tools like R, Python, Excel, SQL, and StatCrunch.
Whether you're brand new to data or building on your foundation, this course helps you navigate a data-driven world with confidence and clarity.
