Women in Data Science Trinidad and Tobago (WiDS TT) is committed to inspiring and educating students about the world of data science and its applications. Our Next Gen events are designed to encourage and support young women and underserved groups in STEM, particularly ages 10 to 18 years old.
Through a mix of virtual and in-person workshops, we aim to increase data science literacy across our communities. These events provide hands-on, interactive learning experiences to introduce the fundamentals of data science in a way that is engaging and practical.
Our primary objective is to bridge the gap between academic learning and real-world applications of data science. The workshops are designed to:
✔ Enhance understanding of key STEM subjects (Mathematics, Statistics, and Computer Science)
✔ Provide real-world applications that align with the CSEC and CAPE Mathematics curriculum
✔ Introduce students to data science concepts through hands-on, practical activities
Our sessions demonstrate how data science is applied across different industries and provide a roadmap for potential career paths in STEM.
Our interactive workshops focus on hands-on activities that help students understand how data tells a story through:
🔹 Data Collection – Understanding how data is gathered and its importance
🔹 Data Cleaning – Preparing raw data for analysis
🔹 Data Visualization – Using charts and graphs to communicate insights
🔹 Data Analysis – Applying statistical and computational techniques
🔹 Data Reporting & Interpretation – Making sense of the results using statistical software
By the end of our sessions, participants will:
✅ Understand the role of mathematics, statistics, and computer science in data science
✅ Apply practical approaches to analyzing real-life datasets
✅ Develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills, essential for success in STEM careers
Each session is tailored to match the background and skill level of the audience, ensuring an inclusive and engaging learning experience.
