lack of action toward a goal, or a lack ofmeaningful engagement with goal-based actions [10], [11]. Within a classroom context,autonomous motivation (i.e. intrinsic motivation and highly internalized extrinsic motivation)tends to correlate positively with meaningful cognitive engagement and positive studentoutcomes, followed by internalized extrinsic motivation, while externally imposed motivationand amotivation does not [4], [11].It is important for educators in engineering to consider that motivation is not a staticcharacteristic [7], [8], [12], [13]. Studies have shown that student motivation can be influencedby a number of different factors, such as time [13], [14], the prevailing emphases of the students’learning environment (e.g

). Making activities also highlightsthe importance of experimenting and the social aspect of learning as opposed to traditionalmodels of education that sees learning as a process of internalization in part of the individual andneglects relationships between the individual learning and society, environment, and the world(Lave, 1991; Dewey, 1916). Learning through making activities can also bridge a divide thatexists between formal and informal education (Halverson & Sheridan, 2014), and provide aplatform that facilitates theoretical and practical learning (Taheri et al., 2020). Also, making is aprocess of creative problem solving and design that can help educators integrate the disciplinesof science, engineering and arts in educational programs
