Opportunity to become a Carpentries Instructor
At Göttingen Campus we run a lively Carpentries community for Open Science enthusiasts – and look for additional instructors! This is an opportunity for you to become a certified instructor (please not that the number of tickets is very limited). The training is also beneficial for other teaching activities related to working with data or programming.
The Carpentries (https://carpentries.github.io/) is an international network of people who teach foundational coding and data science skills to researchers, librarians, and other workshop participants.
The teaching activities cover topics ranging from organizing data in spreadsheets, data cleaning, programming with R or Python, SQL, reproducible analysis, etc. – Typically, we teach a range of modules in pairs and there will be helpers during the live coding sessions.
More information about the instructor training can be found here: https://carpentries.github.io/instructor-training/
Our Göttingen Campus group in coordinated by the library, with instructors and helpers from diverse backgrounds such as information science, computer science, psychology, physics, geo sciences, digital humanities, medical informatics, biology, etc.
Please do not hesitate to get in touch if you are interested to join up and/or have any questions.
The upcoming next instructor workshops will happen in Oct-Dec 2025 (4 half days, EDT, CET, https://carpentries.github.io/instructor-training/training_calendar.html).
We look forward to read/hear from you!
With best wishes,
Birgit
