There is growing interest in project-based learning (PBL), makerspaces and other relativelyopen-ended learning environments that afford many entry points and pathways into and throughengineering. Though often focused on engineering design and digital fabrication, these spacesoften support a range of activities and technologies, from laser cutting and 3D printing, toelectronics and e-textiles, to carpentry, sewing, painting and digital media, and so have thepotential to attract students who may not have yet identified an interest in engineering.Unlike more traditional curriculum, open-ended makerspaces elicit many sticking points andmoments of uncertainty which can serve as rich contexts for conceptual development anddisciplinary practice
