BIDS' Education & Training Working Group has launched the Berkeley Carpentries Club to connect instructors of research computing workshops in the Berkeley, California, area. The group is a community network of teachers and instructors with diverse interests and backgrounds, and anyone interested in the teaching of research computing and data science workshops is welcome to join (i.e. new members do not need to be affiliated with UC Berkeley, the Berkeley Institute for Data Science, or the Carpentries). The group draws its name from the Carpentries, which teach "foundational coding and data science skills to researchers worldwide,” but other trainings from outside the Carpentries community are included, as well.
