Additional interviews with students, faculty andadministrators will be conducted during the 2024-25 school year.During this project, five student research assistants conducted semi-structured interviews withtheir fellow students. The interview data collected was analyzed and used to help createsuggestions for practices that might lead to a diverse and inclusive culture in our newmakerspace. By discovering what individual students and stakeholder groups value and expect ofan inclusive makerspace the research team was able provide guidance to campus leaders and themakerspace director to
