Open Track

We are living in an open data renaissance. Governments, institutions, and organizations across the globe are making their data available for free use, reuse, and redistribution. At TuvaLabs, we believe that visualizing, analyzing, and interpreting data, and communicating your insights have become gateway skills for future STEM jobs, to full participation in the workforce, and civic engagement in 21st century. Our mission is to help students develop these data literacy skills, enable them to be critical thinkers and persistent problem solvers, and empower them to become active members in their own communities and global citizens of the world.

TuvaLabs transforms open data into opportunities for meaningful teaching and learning in the classroom, using it can be a lever to bring neighborhoods and communities closer together through education. Teachers across grades and subjects implement lessons, activities, investigations, and projects that enable their students to explore real data on the TuvaLabs platform. We leverage high quality open data sources to curate datasets that teachers and students find meaningful and for teaching and learning in the classroom. At TuvaLabs, we envision a world in which students are empowered with the skills and tools to address tomorrow's environmental, economic, and societal challenges through open data.
