From these results weplan to develop and calibrate the tool(s) needed to apply the metrics framework for Activity 2.In Activity 2, we will build on the framework to implement a set of tools that stakeholders canapply generally across design and fabrication studies to assess the relationship betweenmakerspace experiences and career readiness.In this Work In Progress paper, we lay the foundation for the activities of our project, and shareout some preliminary observations based on initial interviews with our target populations

It is not surprising thatmost studies have found an inverse relationship between being absent from the class and courseperformance.5, 6, 7,8Studies have been conducted on the inverse relationship between absenteeism and studentperformance in different courses at college level. As long back as in the 1970’s, Jenne9 foundthat attendance played a major role in a health science course. Jones10 reported that there is a

According to McDonald, “rather than admit to such unladylike leanings, it was notunusual for women in the 1800’s to claim to be under the influence of spirits when defendingtheir inventions.” 9 For example, Amanda Theodosia Jones told the world that her idea forvacuum canning came from her brother’s ghost that was instructing her from the grave, and notfrom any personal cleverness9. The ironic part of all of this is that being mechanically talentedwas not accepted, but receiving instructions from a ghost was.This paper focuses on women who are currently in the fields of
