Jane White, a teacher at the Tremont Consolidated School in Tremont, Maine, preparing a slide during a Data Literacy (DataLit) Institute for Teachers at the MDI Biological Laboratory in Bar Harbor, Maine, in September. The Institute was part of an NIH-funded 'data-to-action' project to promote scientific literacy among teachers and secondary school students. The goal is to establish a national learning model for STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) secondary school education in data literacy. The project focuses on a major regional public health problem: the contamination of well water in Maine and New Hampshire by arsenic that leaches out of the bedrock.
