Teaching Google Sheets Functionality to High School Students through Open Data

This is a virtual hands-on workshop where we will dive in on spreadsheet fundamentals using Google Sheets through the lens of teaching virtual high school students. Participants who are new to spreadsheets and to those with intermediate skills are encouraged to attend, and those that teach high school students looking for a data lens. Participants will access a shared spreadsheet where we will learn about spreadsheets fundamentals together, and model how these skills can be taught to high school students. We will analyze a data set from NYC Open Data to apply the new functions we learn.
