Abstract: Learning inside makerspaces can be difficult to track and support. Using Kinect data collected from students enrolled in a course for making, we explore ways to track student learning trajectories in an automated way. Namely, by transforming our data into a set of action sequences that span a semester, we are able to find that discouraged students display a statistically distinct type of activity pattern already in the first two weeks. Generating metrics on makerspace use, we also find that time spent alone and the number of transitions between stations are significant indicators for discouragement and motivation levels. We argue that high-frequency location data could provide an accessible, meaningful overview of student learning in a makerspace to all stakeholders, and conclude with limitations and future directions.
