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.

Our Mission

The Carpentries empowers a diverse global community by equipping individuals with essential data and computational skills. We promote efficient, open, and reproducible research practices. By fostering collaborative development of openly available lessons and research-informed teaching methods, we build an inclusive network of practitioners and advocates who emphasise the critical role of software and data in advancing research.
