#242 Data Storytelling for Kids with Cole Nussbaumer Knaflic, Founder and CEO of Storytelling with Data

We’ve all met someone with a limiting belief, someone who describes their relationship with data as: “I’m not a data person” or “I can’t tell a data story.” Oftentimes, this mindset starts in childhood. Data storytelling is an incredible vehicle to challenge and reshape these beliefs early on. Imagine if kids could develop the skills to ask the right questions, interpret data, and tell powerful stories with it from a young age. How can we introduce children to data storytelling in a fun and engaging way?Cole Nussbaumer Knaflic has always had a penchant for turning data into pictures and into stories. She is CEO of Storytelling with Data, the author of the best-selling books, Storytelling with Data: a Data Visualization Guide for Business Professionals, Storytelling with Data: Let’s Practice!, and Storytelling with You: Plan, Create, and Deliver a Stellar Presentation. For more than a decade, Cole and her team have delivered interactive learning sessions sought after by data-minded individuals, companies, and philanthropic organizations all over the world. They also help people create graphs that make sense and weave them into compelling stories through the popular SWD community, blog, podcast, and videos.In the episode, Adel and Cole explore Cole’s book Daphne Draws Data, challenging limiting beliefs that can develop during childhood, why early exposure to data literacy is important, engaging with children using data, adapting complex topics, data storytelling for adults, data visualization, building a data storytelling culture, the future of data storytelling in the age of AI, and much more. Links Mentioned in the Show:Cole’s Book: Daphne Draws DataStorytelling with DataConnect with ColeSkill Track: Data StorytellingRelated Episode: Navigating Parenthood with Data with Emily OsterRewatch sessions from RADAR: AI EditionNew to DataCamp?Learn on the go using the DataCamp mobile appEmpower your business with world-class data and AI skills with DataCamp for business
