Learn foundational coding skills with the Carpentries@MIT.

MIT Libraries is partnering with EAPS to offer three workshops that may be taken individually or as a series this fall semester.  Each workshop provides opportunities for students to learn foundational coding skills relevant for EAPS research projects. This EAPS-focused workshop is supported by The Carpentries, an organization that offers coding workshops popular among early-career researchers and novice coders.

These hands-on workshops will cover basic concepts and tools, including program design, version control, data management, and task automation. These workshops will be taught using EAPS-centric datasets, including students’ data when possible. Participants will be encouraged to help one another and to apply what they have learned to their own research problems. This workshop series will be especially useful to first-year graduate students as well as UROPs working in EAPS research groups who wish to establish or shore up their coding skills in preparation for research.

Each of these multi-day workshops will take place in person on the MIT campus over two or three days, from 4pm to 6pm, in 55-110 (Moghadam Building, 1st floor classroom).

You may register for one, two, or all three parts of the series (recommended), which include:

Registration required — Use the links listed above to register for each part of the workshop. Registrants will receive instructions on how to prepare for the workshop (what software to download, reminder to bring a laptop, etc.)
