However, Barton et al. found littleevidence demonstrating the involvement of diverse audiences in makerspaces [10]. A sizablegroup of students is not participating in makerspaces, thereby missing out on the documentedbenefits.Research suggests there is a caveat to the democratizing and transformative nature ofmakerspaces, where technology-oriented makerspaces fall prey to the marginalizing normswithin STEM and engineering environments [11], [12]. To address this issue, an emerging bodyof research focuses on creating inclusive makerspaces. An inclusive makerspace intentionallycreates a safe space for students to foster meaningful

threequizzes. When considering only the first two quizzes, the variance between WeBWorK andpaper homework is virtually identical, with the WeBWorK based homework having a slimadvantage. Those results seem to coincide with the previous analysis. Page 26.246.8Looking at the variance of quiz scores, we can conclude as we did before, that WeBWorK is atleast equivalent to paper homework for learning. This may be a more important result than theprevious because it shows that for engineering students, the online based homework does notleave any portion of the class behind due to technological difficulties or comprehension.
