As a way to engage all of the students who pass through our classes, the CURV database profiles statisticians and data scientists with backgrounds that aren't typically seen in our textbooks and histories. With dozens of accounts, you can use the database for a statistician-of-the day activity.

This example can be used to discuss the potential for bias in the U.S. Census and could also be used to demonstrate critical reading strategies.

This worksheet is an introductory statistics activity which uses data from passengers on the Titanic to invite discussions about bias-recognizing it, acknowledging it, and even harnessing it, amongst students. In addition, there are suggestions for expansions of this activity and more details on the underpinning JEDI themes.
