strengths of developingprograms that foster critical thinking, problem-solving, and analyticalreasoning skills using strategies like the engineering design process (EDP) [1],[2]. By engaging in these programs, students learn to apply conceptualknowledge from science and related subjects, including engineering, to solveopen-ended and ill-defined problems creatively [3], [4]. These skills can alsoprepare autistic students to succeed in real-world contexts [5]. We createdengineering maker clubs in public schools across New York City to provideinclusive spaces for elementary, middle, and high school students. We aimedto enhance co-designing and develop technological knowledge andengineering skills in autistic and non-autistic students. These clubs are

, Technology, Engineering,and Mathematics (STEM) programs at all levels does not meet the need of the industry. This needis more urgent at the graduate, specifically, the master’s level (NSF, NSB, 2022).Our goal has been to create and institutionalize best practices for the recruitment, retention, andtimely graduation of master’s students to create a sustainable pipeline to address this need at thegraduate level. Hence, we attempted to expand this pipeline by creating an environment thatattracts, supports, and retains historically or traditionally marginalized or minoritized and diversepopulations. According to the literature, there are a series of activities that are proven for therecruitment and retention of low-income and academically talented, and

variouspositions, we found that student staff use the makerspace not just because of external factors,such as coursework, but also because of the assets they bring to the space.What is a makerspace?Makerspaces are prevalent in institutions across the world and especially prevalent inundergraduate engineering programs. Makerspaces are informal, opt-in STEM (science,technology, engineering, mathematics) spaces and are increasingly recognized for their potentialto increase student access to and engagement with STEM [5], [6], [7]. Over the past two decades,research has highlighted the benefits of makerspaces, including engineering specific skills, suchas prototyping, supporting student design projects, entrepreneurship, and innovation, [8], [9],[10].
