It's easy to think of statistics as nothing more but finding the mean, median and mode: after all, that is all that is taught in elementary school data-management curriculums. This doesn't faze our guest today, Mr. Dash Young-Saver, AP Statistics teacher and founder of Skew the Script. Mr. Young-Saver founded Skew the Script with a mission to make accessible and engaging AP Statistics lessons through using real-world scenarios to teach statistical concepts. In this episode, I sit down with Mr. Young-Saver to discuss his journey in data science, the value of data science education for high school students, and how data can be used as tool to both make new inferences as well as refine existing viewpoints. Throughout this wide-ranging conversation, we touch on the difference (or the lack thereof) between traditional statistics and data science, as well as the shift from math being a science of complete predictability to being comfortable with uncertainty and naming that you are uncertain. Mr. Young-Saver also shares some advice to current precollege students on how they can explore their passions in data science outside the classroom.
