Makerspaces have grown over the last two decades and provide a potentially important resource to entrepreneurs. One area where the expansion of makerspaces has been the largest is in educational settings, at both K-12 schools and colleges. However, scant research to date has analysed whether students visiting a makerspace have any relationship with their professional goals or intentions. This study uses a survey conducted in New Orleans to analyse the predictors of what students use a makerspace, and the potential relationship visiting may have with entrepreneurial intent. The analysis finds that students with a higher socio-economic status appear to use makerspaces more often, and that students who visited makerspaces are more likely to express interest in starting their own businesses.

ABSTRACTMore than 50 high school students each year learn how to conduct science research at the Garcia Summer Scholars Program at Stony Brook University through hands-on, inquiry-based methods. Started in 1998, the program has already provided hundreds of students from diverse backgrounds a unique opportunity for outstanding scientific performance and achievement. In this paper, we present a brief overview of how the program operates as well as several case studies that display the effect of the Garcia Program on student accomplishment. The evidence provided demonstrates that the Garcia Program has had an overwhelmingly positive effect on its many student participants, regardless of their background or socio-economic status.

Apparent Reason

To investigate the relationships of self-concept to socio-economic status, the Self-concept Questionnaire of 30 adjective items was administered to 349 Korean high school students. They were divided into two groups: 177 high and 172 low socio-economic groups, using school type as the primary index of social class and father's occupation as the secondary index. Socioeconomic status was not significantly related to self-concept in spite of the highly stratified nature of the Korean society. High-status students, however, generally showed more positive self-concepts. Apparent reason for the lack of relationship was discussed in terms of a social learning view.
