Previous knowledge of the tools that will be presented is not required. This workshop is for learners with little to no prior computational experience. Instructors will put a priority on creating a friendly environment to empower researchers and enable data-driven discovery. Those with some experience will benefit as well. Learn more about Software Carpentry. 

Participants must bring a laptop with a Mac, Linux or Windows operating system (not a tablet, Chromebook, etc). 

This workshop is sponsored by the National Network of Libraries of Medicine, Region 3, a part of the National Institutes of Health. The Carpentries teach foundational computational and data science skills worldwide to improve data literacies across the globe. Data, Software, and Library Carpentries classes are taught by volunteer instructors who have a passion for teaching learners at all stages of their data literacy journeys.
