Fireside Chat about Data Literacy for Changemakers with Lex Tanganco

In this fireside chat, we’ll be joined by Lex Tanganco, a data analyst, educator, and former project director at Eskwelabs who has dedicated much of his career to making data accessible to those working in education, public service, and social impact. From teaching SQL and dashboarding to government departments, to mentoring learners transitioning into analytics roles, Lex is known for his clear communication, empathy-driven approach, and ability to make data feel less intimidating—and more empowering.

This session is designed for nonprofit teams, educators, government staff, and social impact professionals who want to become more confident in using data for program decisions, community storytelling, and operational clarity. Lex will share practical approaches for teaching data tools to non-technical users, building dashboards that focus on human outcomes, and creating learning spaces where data fluency can flourish. If your mission involves change and your team wants to harness the power of data—without losing sight of people—this is the session for you.
