The Carpentries is a non-profit organization that teaches foundational coding, and data science skills to researchers worldwide. Software Carpentry, Data Carpentry, and Library Carpentry workshops are based on our lessons. The Carpentries has more than 70 member organizations in 10 countries.
Attending a Carpentries workshop builds the skills and perspectives to work more effectively with data and software. You will build a skill set that will help you use code to replicate operations or clean up data, automate routine tasks and help you on the way to doing robust research, as well as the confidence to continue learning.
We create a friendly environment for learning to empower researchers and enable data driven discovery. All workshop participants are required to abide by our Code of Conduct to ensure that all attendees to have a positive learning experience. Workshops are currently designed for people with little to no prior computational experience. Have a look at some learner profiles and read some testimonials to what others have found useful.
