Research Assistants. American c Society for Engineering Education, 2021 How well can Makerspaces build an Entrepreneurial Mindset?1. IntroductionIn this paper, we explore if makerspaces can contribute to student development of anentrepreneurial mindset. Makerspaces take prior implementations of hands-on engineering, suchas machine and wood shops, and push a step further to have complete digital tools available toassist with the common goal of creating a final product or solving problems. Often integratedthrough coursework, students usually have access to tools and a maker community both in andout of the classroom. They also allows students to unleash creative potential and
