This project will develop culturally responsive making and makerspaces with Indigenous communities in Arizona and Utah. The investigators will work in and with these communities to design maker activities utilizing technologies that complement existing cultural practices where the communities are located. This will be done by addressing the following research questions: 1) How does the design of a community makerspace located at a community college on tribal lands differ from the design of a mobile makerspace that travels between tribal communities? What are the affordances and constraints of each model?; 2) How do high-low tech making activities implemented in these two distinct makerspaces support culturally responsive making and STEM learning in American Indian communities?; and 3) How do these new makerspaces and activities impact youth, teacher, and community conceptions of and interest in STEM learning? By leveraging heritage craft practices, Indigenous technologies, and a mixture of high-low tech tools and materials, this project will expand the range of available maker activities and broaden our definitions of making to encompass craft practices and Indigenous technologies, which are often excluded from the maker literature and makerspaces. Through the design and development of local and mobile makerspace models serving American Indian communities, knowledge of how to design makerspaces that meet community needs and foster STEM learning will be generated. In terms of broader impact, the project will diversify making activities and makerspaces in ways that allow broadened participation in making for underserved American Indian communities. A key project goal is to critically explore making as a democratizing practice that can broaden Indigenous communities' access to and participation in STEM learning. This project is a part of NSF's Maker Dear Colleague Letter (DCL) portfolio (NSF 15-086), a collaborative investment of Directorates for Computer & Information Science & Engineering (CISE), Education and Human Resources (EHR) and Engineering (ENG).

该项目将与亚利桑那州和犹他州的原住民社区一起开发文化响应型制作和创客空间。调查人员将与这些社区合作，利用技术来设计创客活动，以补充社区所在地区现有的文化习俗。这将通过解决以下研究问题来完成：1）位于部落土地上的社区大学的社区创客空间的设计与在部落社区之间移动的移动创客空间的设计有何不同？每个模型的可供性和限制是什么？ 2) 在这两个不同的创客空间中实施的高低技术制造活动如何支持美洲印第安人社区的文化响应式制造和 STEM 学习？ 3) 这些新的创客空间和活动如何影响青少年、教师和社区对 STEM 学习的观念和兴趣？ 通过利用传统工艺实践、本土技术以及高科技工具和材料的混合，该项目将扩大可用创客活动的范围，并扩大我们对制造的定义，以涵盖工艺实践和本土技术，而这些通常被排除在创客文献和创客空间之外。通过设计和开发服务美洲印第安人社区的本地和移动创客空间模型，将产生如何设计满足社区需求和促进 STEM 学习的创客空间知识。就更广泛的影响而言，该项目将使制作活动和创客空间多样化，从而使服务不足的美洲印第安人社区能够更广泛地参与制作。项目的一个关键目标是批判性地探索制作作为一种民主化实践，可以扩大原住民社区获得和参与 STEM 学习的机会。 该项目是 NSF Maker Dear Colleague Letter (DCL) 组合 (NSF 15-086) 的一部分，该组合是计算机与信息科学与工程 (CISE)、教育与人力资源 (EHR) 和工程 (ENG) 理事会的合作投资。
