This free, beginner-friendly workshop introduces pupils to data analytics using my simple GAFS Framework (Grouping, Aggregating, Filtering, Sorting). These four steps are the core of how businesses turn raw data into decisions. The session is interactive, easy to follow, and designed for students with no technical background.
We’ll cover what data analytics is, why it’s one of the most in-demand careers, and how students can start building skills early. I use real-life examples to make the concepts relatable and memorable.
Suitable for S3–S6 pupils with an interest in business, tech, or problem-solving. Delivered virtually (preferred) or in person by arrangement. This session supports DYW’s aim of building employability and digital confidence.
