. These contexts should help situate our learning andrecommendations.ContextsMorgan: I use the idea of Makerspaces in contexts for teaching engineering design to pre-college students. I have been introducing pre-college students (primarily late elementary and middle school students) to engineering for a number of years now and find that engineering design works well as the content and context for these students. I have attempted all sorts of design projects ranging from well-structured, LEGO-based design challenges to open-ended, ill-structured design challenges using craft or found materials. As the idea of Makerspaces became more popular, I liked the idea that students could

Numerouscourses have incorporated teamwork as an outcome for students, in which project and/or timemanagement serve as two related keywords4.

Design projects offer opportunities to approximate professional practice, with its concerns for social implications; integrate and synthesize knowledge; and develop skills of persistence, creativity, and teamwork.” Our work is motivated by the study.
