Abstract
Rethinking the content of introductory computing around a data-centric approach to better engage and support a diversity of students.
Comment
For a school-level version (which faces significantly more

Bootstrap:Data
Science.
For a college-level version, see
the DCIC book,
which also links to courses that implement this approach.
