Skew the Script
What we do: Skew The Script is a nonprofit that provides free, genuinely relevant math lessons to more than 20,000 teachers nationwide. The organization provides open-source lessons that infuse genuinely relevant contexts and datasets into Algebra 1, Algebra 2, and AP Statistics.
Our role in the data science challenge: Seeing a demand from AP Statistics teachers to show their students more modern data science skills - beyond the scope of AP Statistics - Skew The Script authored the original data science challenge notebooks. With tremendous support and partnership from Data Science 4 Everyone, CourseKata, and NC State Data Science & AI Academy, Skew The Script led the challenge during its initial years. Skew The Script continues to support the dissemination of the challenge among its network of AP Statistics teachers.
CourseKata
The After the AP Data Science Challenge uses Jupyter notebooks hosted on CKHub, developed by CourseKata. If this challenge sparked your interest, contact us CourseKata.org for more classroom-ready resources like these, including materials you can use throughout the year to supplement your regular curriculum.
We’re a nonprofit team of educators and learning scientists who build both full-year and supplementary statistics and data science curricula using the same kinds of Jupyter notebooks, real datasets, and modeling tools used in the challenge.
Our technology and curriculum are designed to bring authentic data science practices into classrooms in ways that are teaching-friendly, meaningful, and equitable. Our research on lowering barriers to participation for students historically marginalized in STEM directly informs how we design our learning materials so more students can engage in mathematics that matters in the modern world.
The North Carolina State Data Science and AI Academy
The NC State Data Science and AI Academy (DSA) supported the After the AP Data Science Challenge by conducting the Survey Response Analysis, which gathered and analyzed educator feedback following the pilot implementation. The analysis, prepared by Taryn Shelton, DSA K–12 Programs Coordinator, helped inform revisions to the challenge and strengthen its alignment with classroom needs. This work reflects DSA’s broader commitment to advancing data science and AI literacy across K–12 education in North Carolina and beyond.
