Abstract: Federal statistical agencies are tasked with disseminating relevant and timely statistical information nationwide. To engage students and promote statistical literacy, STEM-focused enrichment opportunities such as the Data Detectives Camp are conducted by NCHS. The Camp is a week-long summer camp for rising 6th and 7th grade students to promote data science literacy through hands-on, project-based learning, enabling students to explore and understand the real-world implications of statistical data. The camp’s curriculum integrates data from NCHS to familiarize students with essential federal statistical data and other resources.
