Why Become an Instructor?
Carpentries workshops are focused on teaching fundamental data skills. Participants, who often have little computational background, leave these workshops with newly-acquired, often transformative, tools and skills to apply to their work. After participating in the instructor training, you will be certified to teach these workshops in your organization, as well as participate in instruction elsewhere. In addition, participants in the West Hub instructor training will have workshop organization fees waived for one workshop.
Who Should Apply?
The training is open to anyone in the West Region states (Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming). Teams of 3-4 participants who can then serve as a workshop host in their local geographic area are preferred. For help with finding other interested participants from your area, please contact info@westbigdatahub.org. Each team member should complete the application form.
Applicants from all disciplines, sectors, backgrounds, and geographic locations in the West are encouraged to apply. Given the online setting of the workshop this year, we recognize that differences in connectivity may affect participation and access. If you are concerned that your connectivity will impede your ability to fully participate in this workshop, please make a note on your application form and contact us at info@westbigdatahub.org. We may be able to provide you with additional resources.
When is the Training?
The Instructor training will take place online from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. PT on March 21 - 24, 2022 via Zoom.
