Bold Ideas, Real Data, Real Community
Friday November 6, 2026 TBA
When students investigate a real 129-acre Mississippi River island donated to their community,  alongside scientists, historians, conservation officers, and engineers, they become data scientists, inventors, and civic problem-solvers. In this session, student co-presenters share findings from the Towhead Island Civic Data Science Project, recognized by the Iowa Department of Education, while their teacher unpacks the instructional model behind it. Attendees will leave with a replicable framework for connecting students to authentic community problems, subject matter experts, and real stakeholders, turning bold ideas into measurable community impact.
