Although running a Software Carpentry Bootcamp is a rewarding experience on its own, sometimes we get the opportunity to get to travel somewhere really interesting as volunteer educators. This March, I put on bootcamps at the American University of Beirut in Lebanon, King Abdullah University of Science and Technology in Saudi Arabia, and Stellenbosch University in South Africa. For all three bootcamps, I taught as primary instructor, with a total of approximately 12 hours of instruction spread out over 2 days. I adapted content from Software Carpentry as well as previous classes and lectures I've taught in scientific computing, reproducibility, and software development.
