In our third thread on #CarpentriesResources, we would like to highlight resources available to Carpentries Instructors.
We would love to hear from other communities as well about the resources they rely on to build stronger, more connected, inclusive, and resilient communities.

This morning I realised impact rarely roars. This afternoon I’m running a workshop for a student society because a student asked me to. They’d attended a version of the workshop I ran last summer. They wanted to share it with their peers. I can’t asked for a greater impact than that.
