Abstract
Everywhere I visit, STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) educators are talking about the success of their Makerspace, or how their plans are coming along to install one in the future. Every science museum seems to have a Maker Place, Tinker Tank, Tinker for Tots, Tinkering Space, or some other creative name for a space where visitors design, build, and test contraptions to do everything from fly through the air or make balls roll around a series of ramps. Even the U.S. Congress has a Maker Caucus.
