Ed Watson: Teaching Big Data to K-12 Students
نویسنده
چکیده
Although there are many careers available in big data, K-12 students are rarely introduced to concepts relating to them. The Ed Watson educational package is a solution to that problem. Ed Watson introduces K-12 students to NLP and inverted indexing using a 30 minute lecture presentation and an interactive Jeopardy! game demo that allows them to compete against a computer player. The package was demoed to a group of middle school students. We saw a 54% increase in student interest in big data. Ed Watson also increased the number of students who successfully answered NLP and inverted indexing questions by 60.5%.
