创客运动激励人们通过自我指导和协作奋进来表达他们的创造力。这场运动的兴奋刺激了美国和世界各地各种类型的创客空间的发展，以进一步使人们能够创造和创新。教育界已经认识到创客空间作为学习环境的潜力，可以促进跨学科合作和自主学习。因此，在K-12学校，图书馆，学院和大学内创建创客空间非常令人兴奋。然而，与建造许多学校设施所使用的正式设计过程相反，成功的基层创客空间通常是在那些志同道合的人聚集在一起并改造周围的建筑以满足他们的需求时创建的。本文的研究重点是应用环境偏好预测心理学建构来设计这样的空间。该研究调查了276名来自艺术设计、工程和文科专业的学生，以更好地了解他们对八个不同创客空间图像的偏好。研究结果按偏好、专业和性别这四个预测因素进行了细分。结果突出了图像之间的差异，沿着了设计考虑，以创造欢迎更广泛观众的空间。
The Maker Movement inspires people to express their creativity by making things in a self-directed and, often, collaborative learning endeavor. The excitement of the movement has spurred the development of various types of Makerspaces across the United States and the World to further enable people to make and innovate. The education community has recognized the potential for Makerspaces as learning environments that can foster interdisciplinary collaboration and self-directed learning. As such, there is much excitement to create Makerspaces within K-12 schools, libraries, colleges and universities. However, contrary to the formal design process used to build many school facilities, successful grass-roots makerspaces are most often created when those with like-minded interests come together and adapt the building around them to fit their needs. The research in this paper focuses on the design of such spaces by applying the environmental preferences predictors psychology construct. The study surveyed 276 students from art and design, engineering, and liberal arts majors to better understand their preferences as related to images of eight different Makerspaces. The results are broken down by the four predictors of preference, major, and gender. The results highlight differences among the images along with design considerations for creating spaces that welcome a broader audience.
