want a headstart on the highest-paying job out of college?

Data scientist is now the highest-paying job for students graduating with a bachelor’s degree in the United States and is projected to grow from a $133.7 billion market in 2024 to a $276.18 billion market by 2029. However, experiences with data are rare in today’s K-12 classrooms and curriculum.

This conference will introduce K-12 students, educators, and parents to foundational data science concepts and examples of data science careers across industries with a combination of workshops and presentations, divided into three levels for age-appropriate content.

our 2024 EVENTS theme

fast forward

“Fast Forward” encapsulates the dual imperative in data science and AI: to accelerate innovation and adapt quickly to emerging technologies while ensuring responsible, sustainable progress.

In this era of rapid transformation, we are at a crossroads, where the pace of change is exhilarating yet demands a thoughtful approach to integration and implementation.

As we venture into this accelerated journey, we face the challenge of aligning rapid technological advances with organizational objectives, ethical considerations, and robust infrastructure. 

This theme is a call to action for pioneers and leaders to harmonize speed with caution, ensuring that each leap forward is both groundbreaking and grounded.

Join us as we explore the narratives of trailblazers who are setting the tempo for this dynamic evolution, navigating the fast lane of innovation with the wisdom to steer technology towards a future that benefits all. 

“Fast Forward” is not just about keeping pace with change but about setting the pace for the responsible, transformative future of data science and AI.
