MDAnalysis regularly takes part in various **mentoring and outreach programs**, such as [Google Summer of Code](https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/), [Google Season of Docs](https://developers.google.com/season-of-docs), [Outreachy](https://www.outreachy.org/), the [Station1 Frontiers Fellowship](https://www.station1.org/sff), and the [CompChemURG](https://www.bindingsites.co.uk/home) mentorship schemes. Many of the [current core developers](/about/#mdanalysis-core-developers/) joined the project through these mentoring schemes. The project also frequently offers **teaching workshops**, both online and in-person; recordings are often made available on the [MDAnalysis YouTube channel](https://www.youtube.com/@mdanalysis3040).

MDAnalysis is a fiscally sponsored project of [NumFOCUS][], a nonprofit that promotes open practices in research, data, and scientific computing.
13
+
14
+
At the core of the project is *MDAnalysis*, **an open-source Python library** for analyzing molecular dynamics (MD) trajectories across [multiple formats]({{ site.docs.userguide.url }}/formats/index.html#formats). *MDAnalysis* enables seamless reading and writing of simulation data, allowing users to efficiently analyze molecular structures and dynamics, including particle-based trajectories and individual coordinate frames (e.g., biomolecules in the [PDB format][]).
15
+
16
+
With *MDAnalysis*, you can access atomic coordinates as [NumPy][] arrays, providing a flexible and efficient framework for complex analysis tasks. The library includes powerful [atom selection commands]({{ site.docs.userguide.url }}/selections.html) for extracting subsets of structures and supports trajectory transformations (e.g., fitting to a reference structure).
