Research projects were undertaken in seven EU countries (Denmark, Germany, Finland, Iceland, Norway Romania, UK) and the USA in which staff working in makerspaces (including Fab Labs) collaborated with academics to identify the benefits and challenges of running makerspace workshops in both formal (nurseries and schools) and informal (museums and libraries) educational settings.
The research team worked in partnership with academics in Australia, Canada, Colombia, South Africa and the USA, creating a global network of scholars who worked together to further understanding of the role of makerspaces in developing young children’s digital literacy and creativity.
