# Workshops and slides

The CARC team teaches regular workshops — from first-login basics to
domain-specific computing — and guest-lectures in UNM courses that use CARC
systems. Slides from those sessions are archived here as PDFs.

!!! tip "Upcoming workshops"

    Sessions are announced on the
    [CARC workshops & seminars page](https://carc.unm.edu/education--training/workshops-and-seminars.html){target=_blank}
    and to users by email. Prefer video? Many workshop topics are also
    covered in the [video tutorials](videos.md).
