Young people are growing up in a data-driven world, interacting with data on a daily basis and in myriad ways. But is data a tool for their control or their empowerment? Exploring Youth Data Literacy: Power to Youth in a Data-Centric World reports on preliminary work that explored teens and their data interactions and sets the stage for the next phase of the study, which aims to explore data-learning experiences that inspire and empower youth data activists.
