The Problem Every Data Teacher Knows Too Well

Your student just finished perfect data work. Clean calculations, proper filtering, nice summaries. Whether they used SQL, Python, or Excel (or <insert your tool>), everything looks great.

Then you ask: "Why do you think this pattern showed up?"

Blank stare.

Here's what happens next.

They graduate.

Land their first data job.

Three weeks in, their manager asks them to explain why sales might have dropped last quarter. They pull the numbers perfectly but can't explain what might have caused the drop. Their manager starts wondering if they hired the right person.

This gap is everywhere.

  • Students learn to crunch numbers but not why those numbers matter.

  • They can build charts but can't tell the story behind them.

  • They master the technical stuff but miss the business logic.

There's a simple fix: hide business lessons inside your technical exercises.

Students discover why patterns happen while they're busy learning Excel or SQL.
