In this presentation, we introduce the Exploring Data Worlds research project, a two-year research study, situated at the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh, that is tasked to explore ways to help teens gain a sophisticated understanding of the data life cycle, including data flows and the processes involved in data creation, collection, and aggregation with networked devices, platforms, and information services. We focus here on one phase of the Exploring Data Worlds research project, presenting preliminary findings from the pilot test of a series of data literacy workshops for young people ages 11 to 17 at the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh.
