Research On The Construction Of Makerspace Ecosystem In Applied Universities From The Perspective Of Full-Chain Incubation: Reflections Based On The Practice Of Eagle Makerspace At Pingdingshan University In China

Abstract

Under the innovation-driven development strategy, maker spaces have become central to cultivating innovation and entrepreneurship talent, driving technological innovation, and incubating projects in Chinese applied universities. This paper, adopting the full-chain incubation perspective, proposes an ecosystem model for maker spaces tailored to the specific needs of applied universities. The model includes specific implementation plans such as a four-level progressive curriculum system, a multi-level incubation platform, a "four-in-one" innovation and entrepreneurship service system, and six industry docking platforms. This study aims to bridge the gap between entrepreneurship theory and practice in Chinese applied universities by using the practical achievements of the Yingxiang Maker Space at Pingdingshan University as a case study, thereby providing valuable insights and experiences for other applied universities.
