Barnas Monteith, has recently been named organizational PI (Principal Investigator) for a $2 million NSF grant to explore a new data science / AI curriculum, that will help students better understand how math, logic and computer science relate to each other. The project, named LogicDS, will use fun and engaging machine learning data sets as key examples for modern computational thinking. The project team, based at Texas Tech University, in collaboration with Concord Consortium and Tumblehome, will work with rural and urban students at schools in Texas, Florida and Massachusetts, to analyze a new logic-based approach to education. The team will investigate how logic learning can serve as the common basis for other disciplines, such as AI/computer science, related statistics/probability mathematics, and programming in data-centric languages like R and apply this knowledge to other languages like Python. At the end of the intervention, students will be able to use advanced data wrangling and statistics techniques for their own science & engineering projects. https://www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward?AWD_ID=2201393
