Raising Heretics: teaching kids to change the world, with Linda McIver - Australian Data Science Education Institute

In today’s episode we are joined by Linda McIver, Executive Director at the Australian Data Science Education Institute and author of Raising Heretics: teaching kids to change the world.

In the book she explores how data science education can change the world and she proposes a new approach to education that empowers children to solve real problems, challenge their own results, and shake up the status quo on the basis of evidence and data. 

In todays episode we talk about Linda’s upcoming book and explore the current education system, data literacy, the ways in which were misunderstanding science and how we can change our education system and raise heretics.
