FAQ's:

Why did Curriculum Pathways retire?

• Many of the older resources were built using technologies no longer supported by modern browsers or sustainable for long-term use. Also, several external web sites referenced in lessons ceased to exist and replacements were unavailable.
• Over the lifetime of Curriculum Pathways, many new programs and applications have been developed by other providers in the education space—a lot of them available at no cost.
• Both public and private sectors need data scientists and other technology specialists. SAS, a global analytics and data company, is uniquely positioned to provide supporting resources for data literacy and computer science in keeping with our core values.
