A makerspace today is focused on turning ideas into physical prototypes by providing resources in terms of tools and infrastructure. In a university, a makerspace provides students with an opportunity to build a portfolio. Students experiment through an entire development life cycle by creating prototypes for each stage of a cycle. It has been shown to be a productive method for learning.
To the best of our knowledge, software development is yet to be included in the makerspace concept. In the case of our software makerspace, it is following the same principles as a traditional makerspace for device and mechanical prototyping, but instead provides software development tools. One such indispensable tool is cloud-based infrastructure. A cloud facilitates rapid prototyping of machine learning tools, microservices, IoT data mining, etc.
This talk presents their approach to extend the concept of a makerspace to software development using a student developed private cloud. They present the method they used to gather requirements from various researchers and students. They also present the final design and the current implementation of the cloud using Apache CloudStack. Finally, they discuss how other universities could implement their own software makerspace and its benefits.
