What is spatial thinking? Whether it is an outbreak of a disease, the discovery of a new species, the path of a tornado, or the location of the nearest pizza place, knowing about where things happen is important to how we understand and relate to our local environment and to the world at large. This course will help students develop problem-solving skills, cultivate critical thinking skill, and foster data literacy skills, through employing cutting-edge technology to address real-world problems.
Open to Natural Sciences Freshman with a declared major or on the Natural Sciences Exploratory Track.
