We give classes free access to the Datastory platform, which newsrooms use to turn open data into charts, maps and stories. We also provide ready-made exercises to get you started.
Datastory.org is a non-profit. We pay for Datastory platform accounts for primary and secondary schools, so no class has to miss out on working with data because of the cost.
Email us. Tell us your school, the course and roughly how many students you have.
We set up a classroom workspace. You get a teacher account and student seats within a few working days.
Start with an exercise. Pick one below, or bring your own dataset. Each student's work is published online at its own address.
Want to use Datastory with your class?
hello@datastory.orgEach exercise ends in a published story and comes with a teacher guide. Use them as written or as a skeleton for your own.
Report on your own school, street, or town with data the students gather themselves.
Work with open data on emissions and electricity to explain how a country's energy mix is changing.
Each student picks a country and builds a one-page profile: people, economy, environment, and one surprise.
