Abstract
This poster provides an overview of the development of a 3-week supplemental course for high school students entitled "Data for Healthy Communities”. The course will introduce students to the emerging field of Public Interest Technology by exploring how data science may be used to address topical and local public health issues. It will cover real-world uses of data in public health work and address common gaps in public health professionals' data literacy. The course design is informed by the work of a research team at The Ohio State University developing a workforce training program for Community Health Workers, and will, in turn, inform the development of a more comprehensive data science curriculum for high school students. The poster outlines the development of course goals, learning objectives, activities, and assessment tools, illustrates an example activity, and discusses next steps for the project.
