AB  - Although evidence suggests that children as young as four years old can develop coding and engineering projects based on data science concepts, data science is often overlooked in early childhood research, and limited resources existed slow its inclusion into this field of study. This paper proposes the Dataying framework to teach data science concepts to young children ages 4–7 years old. The framework development included identifying K–12 data science elements and then validating element suitability for young students. Six cycled steps were identified: identifying a problem, questioning, imagining and planning, collecting, analyzing, and story sharing. This paper also presents examples of data decision problems and demonstrates use of a proposed Insight-Detective method with a plan worksheet for Dataying.
