Workshop Curriculum
- Data Carpentry workshops are for people who work with data in their research and want to learn how to code and organise their projects to work more effectively and reproducibly with data.
- Library Carpentry workshops are for people working in library- and information-related roles to build software and data skills. The workshops are domain-agnostic, though the datasets used will be familiar to library staff.
