Summary
NIST conducts Software and Data Carpentries workshops for capacity building of essential knowledge in data and computational skills to further NIST's mission through research. These workshops are based on the Carpentries curriculum for staff training and to advance valuable skills introduced to participants of the Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) program. NIST has also led these workshops at other government agencies and participates in ongoing Carpentries instructor certifications through its membership. NIST has staff members certified in Carpentries instruction and experienced in assisting workshop training.
Description
Software and Data Carpentry workshops conducted at NIST are designed to teach basic computing and data skills that enable NIST researchers to get more done in less time, while also making it easier to automate and document research workflows. These skills can allow for more rapid and reliable publication of results and facilitate information transfer between collaborators. Workshops are held periodically at NIST and on occasion are conducted in external partnership with other government agencies. These workshops are managed through the Laboratory Programs Research Data and Computing Office.
