Boosting data\nliteracy will help young people thrive in a world increasingly driven by data\nand analytics. In fact, the same technologies powering The Batting Lab help\nbusinesses and governments worldwide make better decisions and improve lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSAS has long supported data literacy to help people\nnavigate and thrive in a world awash in data. <a href=\"https:\/\/curiosity.sas.com\/en\/programs\/edu-outreach-building-a-data-literate-future.html\">Data literacy<\/a> &nbsp;has become an\nessential skill for success in today\u2019s world and workplaces. We need to prepare\nfuture generations and excite them early on with applied statistics, so they\ncan truly see the how statistics translates to activities they enjoy, like\nsports. This project is a showcase of how analytics can be used in baseball,\nbut the similar principles can be applied in tracking performance in any other\nsport. We are witnessing every day how sport organizations \u2013 including\nacademies \u2013 are increasing their efforts to transform themselves into data\ndriven organization, understanding better their data sources (cameras, GPS &amp;\nother IoT devices, etc.) and seeking those insights that would support their\ngoals throughout the seasons. So, while kids learn how to use analytics\neffectively, thy also get introduced to the skills that they will need once\nthey reach the time for a professional career of their choice, whether that is\nbusiness, academic or any other field,\u201d said Luca Spinelli, Director of\nBusiness Transformation, Emerging EMEA &amp; ASEAN. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2022 is the perfect year to ensure our kids reflect on\nhow athletes\u2019 performance can be measured and how this then reflects into their\nteams\u2019 results. With the Qatar 2022 World Cup is fast approaching, we shall\nsurely use this great platform to educate our kids towards the link between\ndata &amp; performance. Most of the football federations participating into\nthis great competition are using multiple solutions and analytics to aim at\nachieving excellence, and through that, victory. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">The batting Lab is a great chance for the leaders of the\nfuture to understand the power of data analytics when it comes to solving \u201creal\nlife\u201d problems. The current youth generation consumes an incredible amount of\ninformation\/data on a daily basis, and this showcase will allow kids to early\nunderstand how to seek factual information to address any business question\nthat will come their way in their professional career, being that sport related\nor not, continues Luca.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cStatistical\ncompetency is a requirement in so many fields now. I know that I would have no\ncareer in a baseball front office without an understanding of data and\nanalytics,\u201d said Sig Mejdal, Assistant General Manager for the\nBaltimore Orioles and a sabermetrics expert and\nformer NASA engineer. \u201cI can see that through The Batting Lab project, SAS seeks to inspire a new generation of\ndata-savvy citizens who will work to solve many of our most pressing challenges\nwith data and analytics. The project introduces skills that kids will need\nwhen they go pro \u2026 in business, engineering, medicine, government and so many\nother fields.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SAS, the leader in analytics, has created The Batting Lab, an interactive experience that uses artificial intelligence (AI), computer vision and Internet of Things (IoT) analytics to help kids improve their athletic skills, specifically baseball and softball swings, and their confidence in using data and analytics, a foundational element of data literacy.
