This workshop, led by three UMBC CSEE faculty, empowers students from all majors to think critically about data—learning how to interpret, question, and communicate insights without requiring coding or statistical expertise. Through interactive discussions, case studies, and hands-on storytelling, participants explore how numbers can both reveal and obscure truth, how AI shapes interpretation, and how human judgment remains essential in making data meaningful. Free to community college students and students at the University at Shady Grove, $20 registration fee for all others. All participants must be 18 and older.
