Pymble leads the way with new Data Science course

Pymble is the first school in Australia to partner with the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to offer the Introduction to Data Science Curriculum as an elective for students in Years 9, 10 and 11. STEM and fields such as Data Science represent the future of work for our girls. What our girls learn now, the experiences they share and the contacts they make in this space will have a profound influence on their careers in the future.

Last term we welcomed a wonderful group of industry professionals, parents, students and staff to a Data Science High Tea and afternoon of activities to celebrate the launch of our new Data Science curriculum and what it means for our girls.

Two of our Data Science pioneers, Echo Zhang and Durva Shinde (Year 10), interviewed our keynote speaker, Yotpo Vice President and General Manager JAPAC, Suzy Nicoletti, about the joy of working in the technology industry and the key lessons she has learned along the way.

The event was one-part celebration, one-part invitation for interested parties to join us as active partners in work experience, internships, collaborative projects and mentoring.
