+[Project Pythia](./about.md) is the education working group for [Pangeo](https://pangeo.io)
and is an educational resource for the entire geoscience community.
Together these initiatives are helping geoscientists make sense of huge volumes of
numerical scientific data using tools that facilitate open, reproducible science,
and building an inclusive [community of practice](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Community_of_practice)
around these goals.
