The Carpentries develops and maintains curriculum and an instructor training program to teach foundational coding and data science skills to researchers, technologists, librarians, and individuals in library and information science roles. The Carpentries advances its mission through strategic partnerships with academic institutions globally. This allows us to reach new communities with data skills training. Since 2012, we have run 2,300 workshops in 61 countries and trained 2,400 volunteer instructors to deliver our 33 collaboratively developed, open lessons to 56,900 novice learners. Regardless of resource quality, educators do not pick up and teach curricular materials taught by others “as is”, but adapt them for their classrooms (i.e. review paper available on ResearchGate ). The Carpentries is unique in both enabling individual educators to duplicate and modify curricula (by providing accessible lesson templates and documentation), and more importantly in integrating community suggestions back into the content. Our lessons have been taught by many educators and have incorporated the collective wisdom of those individuals. There were over 1100 unique contributors to our lessons at the time of last publication (2019). In this seminar, I will share how The Carpentries pedagogy can be adapted for engineering education research, teaching, and community building, and what skills engineering educators will need to acquire to teach data science and build its ecosystem.
