## Summary

Teaching, learning, and conducting data science often relies on internet
Teaching, learning, and conducting data science often rely on Internet
connections for accessing and distributing data, software, and
educational materials. As a result, it can be challenging to run data
science training and conduct data science work in locations with limited
or no internet access. We developed the offlinedatasci package to help
address this challenge as part of a broader set of tools and
instructional materials developed by [CarpentriesOffline](https://carpentriesoffline.org) to facilitate
teaching and doing data science in Internet limited environments.
