Data Jam


Get students jamming with their data skills! Doing the Data Jam, students stretch their skills in data analysis, interpretation, and communication. They use our data from oceanographic research cruises and tell the story they see. Students choose a data set from our collection that interests them, then graph, analyze, and interpret what they see. They communicate their data-based story or message for the general public through song, dance, paint, or wherever their passions lead them: a video game, animations, plays, puppet shows, dances, storybooks, or a cake!
You can get students Data Jamming as a class project or after school activity (requiring ~4-8 hours). There are 3 different levels offered, making it doable by students from g.5-12. You can choose between the "Full Jam" or the "Mini Jam".

  • Check out the website.

  • Complete the Schoolyard interest form for free webinars.

  • Submit student projects by Mar 15.

  • And please forward on to a friend who also teaches data users!

Made possible by the Northeast US Shelf LTER Schoolyard program, a project of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution.
