Cloudera<\/a>, Inc. (NYSE: CLDR), the enterprise data cloud company, announced “A Fresh Squeeze on Data,<\/a>” a downloadable children’s book that explains simple ways to problem solve with data in a manner that kids can understand. The book was created in partnership with education company ReadyAI<\/a>, with the goal of making data and AI more interesting and accessible to 8- to 12-year-olds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Available on Amazon, “A Fresh Squeeze on Data,” explains complex data concepts, including Machine Learning model training and data bias, in simple terms. The book was written by ReadyAI’s team of educators, who specialize in providing K-12 students with an inclusive approach to learning and advancing AI and technology concepts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of this initiative, Cloudera and ReadyAI sponsored the Ulbrich Boys & Girls Club’s “Summer Brain Gain” summer camps in North Haven and Wallingford, Connecticut, where new programs like “homework buddy” for virtual learning were piloted along with “Summer Brain Gain” courses which add additional curriculum to aid educators. The Ulbrich Boys & Girls Club will incorporate the book and lesson plans related to the book into local schools this Fall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Since March 2020, students have had a school experience unlike any other. At our Boys & Girls Club organization, we have seen STEM courses in particular become challenging in a virtual learning environment,” said Carlos Collazo, Executive Director at Ulbrich Boys & Girls Club. “Through the new book and other activities, Cloudera and ReadyAI are making technical subjects like data and AI easier for our students to understand.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
