We are looking to create an introductory Data Science course to make available to students. The course would serve as a comprehensive guide into the world of Data Science, delving into key concepts as well as practical applications. The course would feature lessons that would both introduce and reinforce the relevant concepts and practices in an interactive, fun, and engaging way that maximizes learning for students, using the existing framework for curriculum development along with the Director's personal perspective. Once completed, this course will be deployed over several of our chapters, reaching hundreds if not over a thousand students in the process.

Mission Statement
Codivate is a nonprofit organization dedicated to teaching students computational thinking and the fundamentals of programming in a fun and comprehensive way, all for free.
Description
At our core, we are driven by the mission to effectively introduce young students to the world of programming. We understand that it is a skill that is more important now than ever -- which is why it has to be done right. With the traditional ways through which children learn to code, new students quickly become bored and even scared. They may not understand the obscure intricacies of every programming language, whether it is the syntax or irrelevant structural differences. They could understandably even feel intimidated by the idea of writing complex programs from scratch.
That’s why we have decided that a change needs to be made. Here at Codivate, we employ creative teaching methods to optimize our students' ability to understand crucial skills, retain knowledge, and have fun. Using our carefully curated curricula, students can understand and apply key concepts without having to deal with the pitfalls of language-specific modules and syntax that deter so many from the field of computer science.
