accredited. ABET, formerly known asthe Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, has changed their accreditation criteriain the late 90s from focusing on what is taught in the classroom to what the student would be ableto do after taking a particular course (Prados et al., 2005). It is the goal of educators to producedeep learners who will be able not only to grasp what is taught in the classroom, but also connectit to real world problems. Therefore, based on exploration of students’ conceptions of learning,approaches to learning, motivation and their experiences of the teaching-learning environment,educators can devise pedagogical tools that guarantee some level of deep learning. In addition,educators need to create successive contexts

educators have come to value makerspaces as venues for innovativeteaching and learning [5]. As a result, more and more K-12 schools have opened makerspaces ontheir campuses in the past several years. Like others, K-12 educators generally aim to createmakerspaces that engage students in activities that foster opportunities for collaboration,inventiveness, and creativity. Additionally, some K-12 schools use makerspaces to supportstudents developing 21st century skills such as communication and critical thinking while alsolearning content related to science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) [5].In our experience working with several schools and districts on maker education initiatives, wehave observed that K-12 educators tasked with using a
