The A2DataDive assembled representatives from nonprofit organizations, U-M statistics and data sciences departments, and members of the community to collectively address the data analysis and visualization needs for area nonprofits and local organizations. Open.Michigan was one of the organizers of the A2DataDive, and worked with two School of Information graduate students to scope and implement the event. After identifying two organizations who had data needs:ŰÖFocus HopeŰÖand theŰÖAfrican Health OER Network, this joint community/university datadive took place over a weekend in February 2012 in North Quads space 2435, an adaptable space especially suited to collaborative, participatory work. The A2DataDive was a successful proof-of-concept for a joint collaboration between an academic institution and local organizations and businesses, and demonstrated that sharing skills and expertise to address a need is also a great way to help others.

This unit provides the framework for conducting an “engineering design field day” that combines 6 hands-on engineering activities into a culminating school (or multi-school) competition. The activities are a mix of design and problem-solving projects inspired by real-world engineering challenges: kite making, sail cars, tall towers, strong towers and a ball and tools obstacle course. The assortment of events engage children who have varied interests and cover a range of disciplines such as aerospace, mechanical and civil engineering. An optional math test—for each of grades 1-6—is provided as an alternative activity to incorporate into the field day event. Of course, the 6 activities in this unit also are suitable to conduct as standalone activities that are unaffiliated with a big event.

In this activity, students will practice planning a date. Students will also familiarize themselves with how they participate in certain holidays and events.  

In this activity, students will practice talking about their schedules. Students discuss their weekly schedule. Then as the main activity, students will plan an event.

In this lab, students will review the materials they learned over the semester through speed dating activity. Students will converse freely using the example questions or their own questions with their partners. 

Join the Astronomy Education team as they discuss this amazing image, what a black hole is, and how the National Science Foundation and the Event Horizon Telescope accomplished this amazing feat.

When you, for the most part, consider data fraud, you picture a decrepit criminal, a person who has stolen your data. In any case, this picture is normally inaccurate. Identity theft criminals are regularly a great deal more commonplace and can be your family, companions and even individuals from your congregation. Being wary and cautious with your data is fundamental to averting fraud.
