0013 Software Carpentry, Data Carpentry, and Library Carpentry communities of Instructors, Trainers,
0014 Maintainers, helpers, and supporters who share a mission to teach
0015 foundational coding and data science skills to researchers and people
0016 working in library- and information-related roles. In January,
0017 2018, The Carpentries was formed by the merger of Software Carpentry and
0018 Data Carpentry. Library Carpentry became an official Carpentries Lesson Program in November 2018.</p>
0019
0020 <p>While individual lessons and workshops continue to be run under each
0021 lesson project, The Carpentries provide overall staffing and governance, as
0022 well as support for assessment, instructor training and mentoring.
0023 Memberships are joint, and the Carpentries project maintains a shared Code
0024 of Conduct. The Carpentries is a fiscally sponsored project of Community
0025 Initiatives, a registered 501(c)3 non-profit based in California, USA.</p>

0033 <p>Since 1998, <a href="{{ site.swc_site }}">Software Carpentry</a> has
0034 been teaching researchers across all disciplines the foundational coding
0035 skills they need to get more done in less time and with less pain. Its
0036 volunteer instructors have run hundreds of events for thousands of learners
0037 around the world. Now that all research involves some degree of
0038 computational work, whether with big data, cloud computing, or simple task
0039 automation, these skills are needed more than ever.</p>

0048 <p><a href="{{ site.dc_site }}">Data Carpentry</a> develops and teaches
0049 workshops on the fundamental data skills needed to conduct research. Its
0050 target audience is researchers who have little to no prior computational
0051 experience, and its lessons are domain specific, building on learners'
0052 existing knowledge to enable them to quickly apply skills learned to their
0053 own research. Data Carpentry workshops take researchers through the entire
0054 data life cycle.</p>

0067 advocates for and train others in efficient, effective and reproducible data
