The Data Carpentry Workshop will take a train-the-trainers approach so that trainees emerge from a multi-day workshop with some basic computing skills that ease environmental research (e.g. how to get the data you want out of a data logger or big repository without crashing your desktop computer!) and some of the trainees could possibly receive additional preparation to become Carpentry instructors themselves. These non-profit organizations have grown rapidly in recent years, in response to a science community that is hungry for this type of bootcamp – the workshops frequently fill up within 12 hours of opening! The workshops also build community – it’s great knowing that there are others around you who are working on similar issues even if they are in a different department.
