The Carpentries logo

The Carpentries comprises Software Carpentry, Data Carpentry, and Library Carpentry communities of Instructors, Trainers, Maintainers, helpers, and supporters who share a mission to teach foundational coding and data science skills to researchers and people working in library- and information-related roles. In January, 2018, The Carpentries was formed by the merger of Software Carpentry and Data Carpentry. Library Carpentry became an official Carpentries Lesson Program in November 2018.

While individual lessons and workshops continue to be run under each lesson project, The Carpentries provide overall staffing and governance, as well as support for assessment, instructor training and mentoring. Memberships are joint, and the Carpentries project maintains a shared Code of Conduct. The Carpentries is a fiscally sponsored project of Community Initiatives, a registered 501(c)3 non-profit based in California, USA.

Software Carpentry logo

Since 1998, Software Carpentry has been teaching researchers across all disciplines the foundational coding skills they need to get more done in less time and with less pain. Its volunteer instructors have run hundreds of events for thousands of learners around the world. Now that all research involves some degree of computational work, whether with big data, cloud computing, or simple task automation, these skills are needed more than ever.


Data Carpentry logo
Data Carpentry desarrolla y enseña talleres sobre las habilidades de datos fundamentales necesarias para realizar investigaciones. Su público objetivo son los investigadores que tienen poca o ninguna experiencia computacional previa, y sus lecciones son específicas del dominio, aprovechando el conocimiento existente de los alumnos para permitirles aplicar rápidamente las habilidades aprendidas a su propia investigación.

Library Carpentry logo
Library Carpentry es hecho por bibliotecarios para ayudar a los bibliotecarios automatizar tareas repetitivas, aburridas y propensas a errores; crear, mantener y analizar datos sostenibles y reutilizables; trabaje eficazmente con los colegas de TI y sistemas; comprender mejor el uso del software en la investigación; y mucho más. Library Carpentry fue el ganador del 2016 Premio de enseñanza y aprendizaje de British Library Labs.
