Abstract

As makerspaces become ubiquitous, they need to remain equitable environments for teaching and learning. Building on inquiry of diverse makerspaces, we identified three design principles of equitable environments (i.e., mobility, diversity, and openness) and leveraged them for one of the first university school of education makerspaces. We present the design principles, their application, and implications for the design of future makerspaces, particularly those that support pre-service teacher education.
