As time progresses, more life sciences organizations now seek applicants with more than just biology skills, especially in data science, statistics, and computer science. However, most schools in Massachusetts have not created a curriculum that integrates biology with statistics and computer science concepts. This project aimed to create a high school curriculum that can be incorporated into core math or biology classes and made accessible to teachers and students in Massachusetts and beyond. The curriculum incorporates the pedagogical techniques of"Use-Modify-Create" and "Abstraction, Automation, and Analysis" to teach students concepts interconnecting biology, statistics, and computer science using Posit Cloud.
