ABSTRACT In recent years, many museums across the country have established or invested resources to implement maker programs or makerspaces for their visitors. These programs and spaces serve a variety of organizational and/or programmatic goals, but fundamentally they serve as sites of learning. Yet, despite these growing efforts, the field knows relatively little about how to support learning within these spaces. This paper presents a framework to inform the design and organization of maker programs and spaces. This framework was developed through a process of visiting makerspaces, interviewing maker educators and researchers and receiving feedback through a series of workshops. The framework consists of three elements: purpose, people, and pieces and parts. By engaging in these elements, we claim that museums can foster the conditions for learning to unfold within maker-based learning experiences.

支持博物馆创客空间的学习：国家框架

摘要 近年来，全国许多博物馆已经建立或投入资源，为参观者实施创客计划或创客空间。这些项目和空间服务于各种组织和/或项目目标，但从根本上说，它们是学习场所。然而，尽管做出了这些不断增长的努力，但该领域对如何在这些空间内支持学习知之甚少。本文提出了一个框架来为创客计划和空间的设计和组织提供信息。该框架是通过访问创客空间、采访创客教育者和研究人员以及通过一系列研讨会获得反馈的过程而开发的。该框架由三个要素组成：目的、人员和部分。通过参与这些元素，
