Description

This meet-up is for anyone teaching HPC skills, and anyone who is interested in community-led training.
HPC Carpentry is an open source community of RSEs, facility operators, developers, and others, who want to empower researchers through better, more inclusive training in HPC skills.
The project is currently in incubation to join The Carpentries as a new lesson program.
The HPC Carpentry project's mission is to provide interactive, hands-on instructional material focused around HPC in an inclusive and accessible model, where feedback from learners and instructors is used to continuously improve the material and the learner experience.
Open to newcomers, existing HPC Carpentry community members, and anyone else interested in the project, this event is an opportunity for people who want to increase HPC competencies.
The goals of the session will include
- Providing a welcoming space for existing instructors to connect and share their experience and perspectives,
- Connecting with potential instructors and workshop hosts and providing them with more information about the project and how our training is delivered, and
- Better informing project coordinators about the training needs, and opportunities where we can contribute, at institutions across Germany, to help guide the project going forward.

No prior knowledge of or affiliation to HPC Carpentry or The Carpentries is needed to be able to participate in this session, but some experience of or insight into the teaching of high-performance computing, especially to novices, would be beneficial.
