Abstract:After years of development, academic makerspaces in the United States have gradually become new and comprehensive learning spaces, full-chain innovation and entrepreneurship spaces, and open collaborative social spaces. This paper systematically analyzes the academic makerspaces in the United States from the material level, behavior level, norm level and spiritual level, and finds that at the material level, they focus on standard planning and information fusion; at the behavior level, they put particular emphasis on optimizing iteration and shaping the ecology; at the norm level, they lie in efficiency and full participation; at the spiritual level, they advocate openness, tolerance and diversity. Drawing lessons from the American experience, the paper puts forward that academic makerspace in China should shift from physical space construction to online and offline integration, from entrepreneurial incubation to innovation and entrepreneurship interactive iteration, from investment of hard facilities to the flexible mechanism, and from niche foreign culture to the cultivation of mass local culture.
