Abstract

Rethinking the content of introductory computing around a data-centric approach to better engage and support a diversity of students.

For a school-level version (which faces significantly more constraints, and hence cannot go as far), see Bootstrap:Data Science.

For a college-level version, see the DCIC book, which also links to courses that implement this approach.
