- Software Carpentry logo + The Carpentries logo
- Since 1998, - Software Carpentry - has been teaching researchers in science, engineering, medicine, and related disciplines - the computing 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 in the past two and a half years. +

The Carpentries comprises + Software Carpentry and Data Carpentry, communities of Instructors, Trainers, + Maintainers, helpers, and supporters who share a mission to teach + foundational coding and data science skills to researchers. In January, + 2018, The Carpentries was formed by the merger of Software Carpentry and + Data Carpentry.

+ +

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.

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 develops and teaches workshops on the fundamental data skills needed to conduct research. - Its target audience is researchers who have little to no prior computational experience, - and its lessons are domain specific, - building on learners' existing knowledge to enable them to quickly apply skills learned to their own research. +

Data Carpentry workshops take researchers through the entire + data life cycle.

- Library Carpentry is in discussions with The Carpentries to be a Lesson Project, like Software Carpentry and Data Carpentry. It is made by librarians to help librarians - automate repetitive, boring, error-prone tasks; - create, maintain and analyse sustainable and reusable data; - work effectively with IT and systems colleagues; - better understand the use of software in research; - and much more. - Library Carpentry was the winner of the 2016 - British Library Labs Teaching and Learning Award. +

Library Carpentry is in discussions with + The Carpentries to be a Lesson Project, like Software Carpentry* + and Data Carpentry. Library Carpentry develops lessons and + teaches workshops for and with people working in library- and + information-related roles. Its goal is to create an on-ramp to empower this + community to use software and data in their own work, as well as be + advocates for and train others in efficient, effective and reproducible data + and software practices.
