About Us

Introduction The Carpentries is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit based in Delaware, USA. The Carpentries teaches foundational coding and data science skills to researchers worldwide. We exist because the skills needed to do computational, data-intensive research are often not included as a part of basic research training in many disciplines. Our global community works together to provide: A suite of open source, collaboratively-built, community-developed lessons. Evidence-based, proven pedagogical training. Workshops based on a learn-by-doing, ‘code with me’ approach. A supportive learning culture. A global community which subscribes to an inclusive Code of Conduct. Our Vision Our vision is to be the leading inclusive community teaching data and coding skills.
