创客空间被誉为一种新的前进方式，可以创建社区，赋予学生权力，并将所有年龄和技能水平的爱好者聚集在一起“修补”和创造。创客空间教育被吹捧为有潜力使年轻人成为社区变革的推动者。本文探讨了创客空间方法如何捕捉女小学生的想象力和创造力，并让她们参与基于STEM的综合项目。这项研究让女大学生指导一小群女孩在教室里的STEM Makerspace完成一个项目。从这项研究中产生和分析的数据被用来确定如何制定基于Makerspace STEM的项目，他们如何参与和支持女孩的学习，并认为Makerspace方法的未来是推进综合STEM教育的一种方式。
Abstract Makerspace has been lauded as a new way forward to create communities, empower students and bring together enthusiasts of all ages and skill levels “to tinker” and create. Makerspace education has been touted as having the potential to empower young people to become agents of change in their communities. This paper examines how a Makerspace approach can capture the imagination and creativity of female primary school students, and engage them in integrated STEM-based projects. The study scaffolded female tertiary undergraduate students to mentor small groups of girls to complete a project in a STEM Makerspace situated in classrooms. The data generated and analysed from this study were used to determine how Makerspace STEM-based projects were enacted, how they engaged and supported the girls’ learning, and considers the future of a Makerspace approach as a way to progress integrated STEM education.
