It’s National Technology Day! Check out our Teachers' Guide to Data Access Tools for Students to discover a variety of tools you and your students can use to access data. Elementary and middle school students can explore the State Facts for Students data tool that looks at cool things like the total number of zoos and botanical gardens, fitness and recreational sports centers and more in your state. High school students can explore data using the Census Business Builder tool for demographic and economic data at the county, city, ZIP code and census tract level. A great way to recognize this day!
