### Collaborative exercises

*Up to 1h in breakout rooms (in person or online).

#### Theme 4
:::info
**Data Science for non-STEM disciplines - collaborative excercise**: discussion to identify how to expand data science training to less technical disciplines in order to improve data and computational literacy. How can we lower barriers to data science education and careers for non-STEM disciplines?

#### Group Discussion (online)
*Please use this space to take notes from your breakout group discussion.*

- What are the main challenges in upskilling non-STEM students in quantitative and computational methods? If you are a student, in which quantitative and computational methods do you feel you need to learn more about?
- Anxiety before starting
- Fear in teachers at early schooling
- Starting early as in primary school to encourage girls to take part to more male oriented activities or topics
-
-
-
-
- How would those who have been educated in scientific disciplines benefit from acquiring skills that are traditionally associated with non-STEM disciplines?
-
-
-
- What suggestions can you make to encourage the creation of interdisciplinary projects where non-STEM and STEM colleagues (or students) are embedded in the same team? Please share information about successful schemes and funding opportunities that you have seen or come across.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
- Can you share your experience in interdisciplinary projects? Which pool of experts should evaluate such projects?
-
