We’re high school statisticians using twitter to expand our understanding of statistics and see how it used outside of our classroom.

Intro to polls, polling averages, & forecasts on deck this week. Terrific discussion post here from a student as part of his work on a homework assignment last night. Times like these I wish I had @NateSilver538 and @gelliottmorris helping me out in class. #DataLiteracy #Vote

Max started out his studies of analyzing distributions using histograms with a bang! #Seniors2020 highlight.

Slacking during senior spring hasn’t even crossed Colin’s mind! Take a look at the extent to which he went to understand and write about an #economics paper by Raj Chetty et al. @OppInsights #seniors2020 stats highlight of the day!

[RiversStats @RiversStats]

Kew’s #seniors2020 highlight shows some of her work with #R to tackle inference related problems. She has become one of our @rstudio masters this year through her willingness to troubleshoot, practice, ask good questions, and collaborate! #growthmindset #highschoolstats

[RiversStats @RiversStats]

Monday classes are about to start - perfect time to post Aliesha's #seniors2020 highlight! Many to choose from this year! Her first assignment of the year proved she'd put thought and time into each assignment. She sure has! I also learned from her work! @drfeifei @KiraRadinsky

Day 3 of Rivers stats #seniors2020 highlights comes from Sam (not the one from yesterday) who has attacked our work with @rstudio and meshed his newfound #rstats skills with a high-level understanding of the statistical concepts covered. #tidyverse #apstats #highschoolstatistics

[RiversStats @RiversStats]

Day 2 of Rivers #Seniors2020 stats highlight - Persistence, energy, good humor, and focus have been hallmarks of Sam's year. This look at his @khanacademy progress highlights his approach! #HighSchoolStats #Study

2We kick things off with a short section from Audrey's blog article she wrote in the fall. Clear and effective communication through correct analysis and a top-notch #dataviz made with advanced #rstats code. This was just the beginning of an outstanding year in #stats for Audrey!

1 - The news that we won't be coming back to school for the rest of the year is the hardest for our #seniors2020 who earned their spring term & the celebrations for them at school. Therefore, to try and make up for those lost experiences, I will post one student highlight a day.

After listening to @lexfridman conversations with Michael I. Jordan and Stephen Pinker, I need to find a way to weave all or parts of them into class this week. ⁦Terrific complements to ⁩ ⁦@ai4allorg⁩ materials. #WalkAndListen #remotelearning https://t.co/KoDwBnVe7P

[RiversStats @RiversStats]

First #RemoteLearning class in the books @TheRiversSchool ! It was great to finally be back together! Week 1 should be a good one! Students said they want to get back in the rhythm, keep being productive, and make the most out of it! #BackTogether #Stats @OppInsights

[RiversStats @RiversStats]

Thanks @tableau for the article describing data trends of 2020. A perfect read for the day before break. Students split into pairs, read one section, and presented key takeaways. Excellent discussions followed. #DataLiteracy #HighSchoolStats #AIEducation

The #Legos return! Introducing two sample inference techniques by answering the question, “Are proportions of red legos in the bags different?” Ok twitter, I know we can just count them and we don’t meet the 10% rule, but play the game a bit to #MakeItStick #highschoolstatistics

[Bernard Marr @BernardMarr]

Could #BigData, #AI and #technology be used to help detect the diseases that cause #dementia?
