Several pro-Makerspace actors purport that having experiences in such open-ended project-based settings canencourage engagement with engineering. However, as we know from prior work in the area,simply providing access to technology-rich spaces does not allow underserved youth to feelownership and belonging in both makerspaces and engineering environments. Additionally,formal and informal engineering education experiences do not center on preventing harm tocommunities and the environment in engineering work.
