With the ever increasing capacity of technology and the development of an increasingly connected online world the amount of data collected is staggering. The promise and peril of big data are reported and debated on a daily basis in the media. But, how often do we take time to think deeply about the Big Idea of data. What data do we have access to and how does the data collected about us control our lives? How much do we know about our homes, schools, and communities? What algorithms impact our lives and who created them? What data matters in these environments and how can it be used to make lives better?

Most of us abdicate the responsibility of data to experts and researchers and wait for the reports or programs to tell us what to do. Data is a resource that can be used for good and for ill, so we need to know more about data and how to use it to improve our worlds. The Big Idea is Data and the  challenge is to learn about data in our environments and consider how everyone young and old can access, collect and analyze data to do good.
