Why Data Adventures
Children are growing up leaving a trail of data behind them online, yet almost nothing exists to teach them what that means.
Alex's adventures bring these abstract concepts to life. As he explores the data world, children gain an intuitive grasp of just how much data surrounds them, and how the trail we all leave online builds a digital footprint.
The earlier we teach data literacy, the better-prepared children will be to make smart, safe choices online.
