  Over the past few decades, makerspaces have developed as important venues for STEM and design education, increasing becoming part of undergraduate programs. These innovative spaces allow instructors and students access to advanced technology and integration of a wide range of projects into the curriculum. Studies indicate that makerspaces offer potential benefits for the students who use them. For example, students who are involved in their campus’s makerspace show less anxiety and more confidence when engaging in design projects or tasks. This may be from gaining hands-on experience with equipment and technology outside of the classroom. However, the impact of makerspaces on student learning and engagement is not yet fully understood. At the University of Arizona Libraries, we aimed to capture what influences students to use these spaces and the overall impact on students’ attitudes towards, and confidence in, using technologies through a mixed-method study.
