Graphical Abstract

Abstract

Maker spaces and programs offer tremendous opportunities for all learners to explore new materials, expand their practical skills, think creatively, and exercise social-emotional skills such as problem-solving and collaboration. With this in mind, in spring 2016, the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum in New York City launched All Access Maker Camp, a weeklong camp for children ages 8 to 14 with developmental disabilities. We saw an opportunity to connect children’s strengths and passions for space, aircraft, LEGOs, history, drawing, and computers with a supportive space for authentic exploration, experimentation, socializing, and personal growth.
