Which Carpentries workshop are you requesting?

Because we need to coordinate with instructors, a minimum of 2-3 months lead time is required for workshop planning.

Our workshops are offered primarily in English, with a few of our lessons available in Spanish.

We will attempt to locate Instructors speaking a particular language, but cannot guarantee the availability of non-English speaking Instructors.
