Bayesian methods have traditionally been taught at the graduate level if taught at all. This roundtable aims to gather anyone who teaches or would like to teach Bayesian methods to undergraduate students or other learners who are comparably trained. We will discuss the different approaches on what to teach and how to teach. We will share our experiences of using different tools as instructors and/or learners. We will dive into challenges that learners and instructors face in the Bayesian classroom and the opportunities such classrooms create. Our overall objective will be to learn from one another and take tips and tricks for our own classrooms.
