The Carpentries builds global capacity in essential data and computational skills for conducting efficient, open, and reproducible research. It is an active, inclusive, diverse community of instructors, helpers, learners, maintainers, mentors, community champions, member organisations, supporters and workshops hosts, that promotes and models the importance of software and data in research. Software Carpentry, Data Carpentry, and Library Carpentry are collaboratively develop openly-available lessons focused on evidence-based teaching practices. In the UK, the Carpentry programme was first endorsed by the Software Sustainability Institute Institute (SSI), which still provide support for running and organising workshops and recruiting instructors from the wider UK Carpentry community.
