The Carpentries is a volunteer organization dedicated to teaching foundational coding and data science skills to researchers. Over 73,000 people have attended Carpentries workshops since 2012, and despite the disruption caused by COVID-19, they taught over 200 workshops in 2020 alone. They have helped a lot of people get more done in less time and with less pain, and RStudio is proud to support their work through a donation to their fundraising campaign.
