Join us for a three-day Software Carpentry workshop, taking place 4-6 November from 9:00 am-2:00 pm Eastern Time (UTC -5). Designed to be interactive rather than lecture-based, Carpentries workshops emphasize active participation, with lessons that build progressively. Please note that the workshop will not be recorded, and we strongly recommend attending in real time.

This beginner-friendly Software Carpentry workshop covers Shell, Git, and Python. To make the most of the workshop, learners should be comfortable with files and directories, working directories, and starting a Python interpreter.

This workshop provides a solid foundation for further self-directed learning and empowers participants to:

use the command-line to navigate file structures and work with files
write custom Bash scripts to automate repetitive analyses
implement simple Git workflows for tracking work
Use conditionals and loops, write functions, and run programs from the command line using Python

Each session combines short tutorials with hands-on exercises, encouraging collaboration and real-world application of skills to your own work.

Participants must use a laptop or desktop (not a tablet) with administrative privileges to fully engage in the workshop activities.
