一些人称赞创客空间的出现是扩大未被充分代表的群体参与科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）教育的机会，让参与者参与开放、创造性和支持性的空间，学习和应用实用的STEM知识。其他人则质疑这些空间的潜力，因为许多创客和黑客空间似乎正在制定更有利于白人、男性、中产阶级、健全的业余爱好者参与的规范。因此，虽然有些创客空间以参与无家可归的创客、女性、有色人种、退伍军人、LGBTQ+人群和残疾人而闻名，但还有更多的创客空间有意或无意地将这些人群排除在外。该项目考虑了如何构思、构建和运营多样化的创客空间，以积极参与传统上在STEM中代表性不足的群体，并共同确定可以为目前难以实现多样性的校园和社区创客或黑客空间的设计和运营提供信息的实践。2018年，我们将报告项目数据收集的最新情况，以及2018年6月我们将召集所有合作伙伴的unconference。
Some have hailed the emergence of maker spaces as an opportunity to broaden participation of underrepresented groups in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education, engaging participants in open, creative, and supportive spaces for learning and applying practical STEM knowledge. Others have questioned the potential of these spaces, as many maker and hacker spaces seem to be enacting norms that are more conducive to participation of white, male, middle-class, able-bodied hobbyists. So while there are maker spaces noted for their engagement of homeless makers, women, people of color, veterans, LGBTQ+ folks and people with disabilities, there are many more maker spaces that intentionally or unintentionally exclude these populations. This project considers how diverse maker spaces are conceived, constructed and operated to actively involve groups traditionally underrepresented in STEM, and collectively identify practices that can inform the design and operation of campus and community maker or hacker spaces that presently struggle to achieve diversity. In 2018, we report an update on the project’s data collection and the June 2018 unconference where we will bring all our partners together.
