You Belong in The Carpentries!

The Carpentries works to help institutions and individuals spread skills for data analysis, computational thinking, and research software development through building local and global communities of practice.

Our work is made possible by the efforts of our amazing volunteer Instructors, Trainers, Mentors, Maintainers, curriculum advisors, helpers, workshop hosts and organisers, community champions, and member organisations.
