Modelling Inclusion in the Makerspace
Abstract
In this chapter, we return to the staff of the makerspace program as they describe its origin as a method to introduce girls and women into engineering and science. It offers an oral history of this multilayered model of STEAM education that can serve as a guide to other makerspaces. Note, the order of the organizations studied is now reversed in this second half of the book, a subtle unmaking.
