=== Code and data literacy ===


Digital literacy is as important as reading, writing and arithmetic. In academia, skills training to match the tools and technology is still leagues behind where it should be. We need to find a way to better empower students to be "digital researchers" by shortening the gap and providing the means for them to learn how to share, reuse and reproduce research on the web.

==== Software Carpentry ====
 
Software Carpentry helps researchers be more productive by teaching them basic computing skills. Its volunteers have run over 90 intensive two-day boot camps at dozens of sites around the world in the last 18 months for over 2500 scientists, and the site provides open access material online for self-paced instruction.  For more on Software Carpentry, [http://software-carpentry.org/ visit their website].
