While reproducibility is core to our definit ion\, most data science learners enter the field with other aspects of dat a science in mind\, for example predictive modelling\, which is often one of the most interesting topic to novices. This fact\, along with the highl y technical nature of the industry standard reproducibility tools currentl y employed in data science\, present out-ofthe gate challenges in teaching reproducibility in the data science classroom. Put simply\, students are not as intrinsically motivated to learn this topic\, and it is not an easy one for them to learn. What can a data science educator do? Over several iterations of teaching courses focused on reproducible data science tools  and workflows\, we have found that providing extra motivation\, guided ins truction and lots of practice are key to effectively teaching this challen ging\, yet important subject. Here we present examples of how we deeply mo tivate\, effectively guide and provide ample practice opportunities to dat a science students to effectively engage them in learning about this topic .\n\n \n\nColloque des sciences mathématiques du Québec\n Zoom:To register: http://crm.umontreal.ca/colloque-sciences-mathematiques-quebec/#csmq\n\nS ite web : http://crm.umontreal.ca/colloque-sciences-mathematiques-quebec/# csmq\n DTSTART:20211029T193000Z DTEND:20211029T203000Z SUMMARY:Tiffany Timbers (University of British Columbia) URL:/mathstat/channels/event/tiffany-timbers-universit y-british-columbia-334244 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
