Wahaha International School (WIS) wants to implement a makerspace that can be used by students and the local community. Our goal is to provide recommendations on the layout and equipment for the makerspace, along with any other useful information for operating a makerspace. To achieve our goal, we worked with students from Hangzhou Dianzi University to interview makerspace owners, do virtual and onsite tours, research articles online, create and distribute surveys, and hold focus groups with the students of WIS. From these research methods, we were able to provide the sponsor with detailed floor plans, a list of equipment that will be useful for all grades K-9 at the school, and recommendations to help grow the potential of the makerspace once it is built.
