Interviews were thentranscribed and analyzed using definitions from Wenger’s CoP model to clarify and verify howthe Makerspace impacted the cultivation of a makers CoP on campus. We looked for evidence ofidea units that emphasized domain, community and practice.ResultsParticipants shared a common interest in “making”, tinkering, and realizing their designs. Therewere five categories of reasons for participation in the Makerspace: accessibility to resources,professional development, self-efficacy, Networking, social interaction and engagement, andlearning opportunities.Making use of Wegner’s

the relative velocity. Their resulting calculation of Coriolisacceleration is plotted in Figure 3 above. For the experimentally determined Coriolisacceleration, the team reached a value of 0.1305 m / s 2 while their theoretical calculation wasfound to be 0.1608 m / s 2 . A sample is given here from the team’s concluding remarks:“From our data we can conclude that we successfully isolated the phenomenon. We did this bycalculating our theoretical acceleration and comparing it to what the sensors actually recorded.Areas of improvement would be a more rigid base, smoother running surface, a constant angulardrive and linear velocity for the car.”B.
