Computing and Data analysis - talk to me like I'm a teenager

I've often been fascinated by where statistics come from, how people 'drill down' to find trends, relevant information and computing in general.

As a girl in the 70s and 80s, computer science wasn't taught at school and although I have used computers, I haven't studied computers, coding or engineering at all.

How does one become a data analyst? Or a data technician? Or anything to do with computers?

I've been to a HE event for adults and it seems that not every college does Access to Computing.

There doesn't seem to be one centralised database of courses and having to visit individual sites is bewildering.

Many coding courses are aimed at children - there would be safeguarding issues if I showed up in a class of primary schoolers.

Where do I look for definitive information?

Can anyone help?
