• The Callysto Project is a collaborative project by Cybera and the Pacific Institute for Mathematical Sciences (PIMS), with funding from the Government of Canada. It involves the development and assessment of modules that promote data literacy and computational thinking. Using the Jupyter notebook platform, users can create and share modules, assignments, and reports using a single platform. Jupyter notebooks also provide easy integration of open data sources to promote data literacy development during curricular activities. Teachers and students can also incorporate multimedia, infographics, and audio recordings while experimenting with live programming code simultaneously. Our target group consists of Grade 5-12 students and teachers across Canada.
