It's great.<br /><br />If you're willing to tolerate screens, I can't recommend Duolingo enough for kids for foreign language learning. Learn a language, for free, on your mobile phone and on your computer. It's great and addictive. Definitely recommend it as a summer activity.Greg Lindenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09216403000599463072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28765366.post-88319658919285657062016-06-23T18:38:18.437-07:002016-06-23T18:38:18.437-07:00There's a new program being offered by The Dat...There's a new program being offered by The Data Analysis Academy to rising high school juniors and seniors.<br /><br />Seeing the Big Picture: An Introduction to Investigation through Data is a one-week intensive course in data analysis for Seattle-area high school students. Students will learn essential techniques and critical thinking skills to approach ordinary and not-so-ordinary problems in business, medicine, public policy, academics, and more. Students will learn how to turn broad questions into testable hypotheses that can be answered with data, learning a step-by-step approach to generating, verifying, and communicating their discoveries. This cross-disciplinary approach is tailored to amplify insights from coursework students will encounter in college and advanced high school classes. Each student will leave the course with greater confidence in their ability to investigate and interpret their world — skills that will lead to success in school, in college, and in their career.<br /><br /><br />https://dataanalysisacademy.orguxolohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01595802010492801183noreply@blogger.com
