Abstract

Tutorials for EXperimentalisT Interactive LEarning (TEXTILE) is an interactive semi-linear module-based curriculum for training students at various educational levels on data science methodologies currently utilized by research laboratories. We show how we developed our eleven module TEXTILE program to train 15 students from high school, undergraduate, and graduate degree programs in laboratory analysis pipelines. Additionally, we discuss impact of the TEXTILE program in retention of students within the lab, chemical engineering, and data science.
