Why it matters

Patterns are the first data skill

Before a child can read a chart or weigh a choice, they learn to spot what repeats, sort what’s alike, and predict what comes next. Nova teaches it through nature because it is everywhere out there, and completely screen-free. It is early data literacy dressed up as play. More about the DataSavvy Kids approach
