We are offering a two-day in-person Carpentries Workshop in Python for Curtin University staff and students, held from 8:45 am - 4:30 pm on the 8th-9th of October 2025.

This hands-on workshop will cover an introduction to the fundamentals of Python and data analysis and visualisation with Pandas.

The Carpentries mission is to build global capacity in essential data and computational skills for conducting efficient, open, and reproducible research. Participants will be encouraged to help one another and to apply what they have learned to their own research problems.

For more information on what we and the Carpentries teach and why, please see the paper "Best Practices for Scientific Computing".

Registration is free of charge, but please make sure you cancel your booking through Humanitix at least 48 hours prior to the event if you are unable to attend, so someone else can take your spot. Please be aware that people who register for CIDS events and then do not attend (without cancellation) will not be able to attend future CIDS events.

Please register with your Curtin University staff or student email address.
