Abstract

Maker spaces have become an important platform for students' technological innovation and entrepreneurship activities in many universities. In order to provide students with innovative practice teaching platforms, promote the sharing of teaching resources in higher education parks, and advance the development of 'new engineering education' in engineering practice teaching, depending on the construction of 'school-enterprise co-built innovation laboratories', this study mainly carried out interdisciplinary themed maker space education. The focus of maker space education is on platform and curriculum system establishment, maker space organization and management, and the effectiveness and evaluation of maker space education. Firstly, by implementing the concept of 'school-enterprise cooperation' and adopting a combination of practical teaching and MOOC(Massive Open Online Course) teaching methods, this study explores the construction of a modular maker space practice teaching curriculum system with cutting-edge topics such as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), robots, and artificial intelligence, leveraging the self-developed virtual reality platform. Then the 'Innovation Workshop' student association is created to regularly organize students' maker space training and technology activities, and an open and shared management mechanism is established with the student association as the main body to strengthen maker space security management. Finally, with the themes of 'fusion of innovation and competition' and 'product-driven', the top-level design of maker space education is optimized to cultivate and expand innovative thought, and vigorously improve scientific and technological innovation competition results through competition-driven teaching, promote the landing and application of maker space products. During the two years operation of the maker space, excellent products with the theme of intelligent robot design have been completed, which won two first prizes, one second prize in national science and technology competitions, and one special prize in provincial and ministerial competitions have been awarded. The maker space shows great significance to improve the students' innovation and practical abilities.
