This study seeks to understand the origin accounts of academic makerspaces targeted for engineering students at higher education institutions, as described from the perspective of those who played a formative role in the development of the university’s makerspace. The origin accounts of eight varied university makerspaces are investigated for their practices (or shared strategies) in the formation of a university makerspace. This study implements a semi-structured interview protocol focused on the topics of administration, access, design, and aspects unique to the makerspace. Nine leaders from eight U.S. university makerspaces participated in this study. The interview data were analysed through multiple cycles of coding, and four major themes emerged: a need allowed for a want (and vice versa), access allowed for varied learning opportunities, direction allowed for empowerment, and experimentation allowed for sustainability. To supplement the four major themes, this article presents makerspace profiles and summaries of how each space started along with a comparison chart that reports the type of institution, funding sources, access, and management models. Through juxtaposing the makerspace profiles with the emergent themes, this article provides transferrable insights regarding operational practices for academic makerspaces.

制作Makerspace:大学Makerspace形成中的确定实践

这项研究旨在了解针对高等院校工程专业学生的学术创客空间的起源,从那些在大学创客空间的发展中发挥了重要作用的人的角度进行了描述。研究了八个不同的大学创客空间的来源账户在形成大学创客空间时的实践(或共享策略)。这项研究实施了一种半结构化的访谈协议,该协议侧重于管理,访问,设计以及makerspace独有的方面的主题。来自美国八个大学创客空间的九位领导人参加了这项研究。通过多个编码周期对访谈数据进行了分析,出现了四个主要主题:需求被允许(反之亦然)),允许获得各种学习机会的途径,允许进行赋权的方向以及允许可持续性的实验。为了补充这四个主要主题,本文介绍了makerspace概况和每个空间的开始方式摘要,以及比较图表,该图表报告了机构类型,资金来源,访问权限和管理模型。通过将makerspace概要文件与新兴主题并列,本文提供了关于学术makerspace的操作实践的可转移见解。
