Maker education is regarded as a global initiative. Empowering STEM makers in schools becomes an important task for K-12 educators. Creativity, critical thinking, STEM identity, and STEM interest are all vital attributes of a good STEM maker. While researchers have proposed various pedagogical approaches to supporting the processes of STEM making, rare studies have been carried out to compare the effectiveness of these approaches. To fill the research gap, we have conducted a quasi-experimental study (with 63 secondary school students in Hong Kong) to explore the pedagogical effects of mentoring and authentic problem-solving strategies in supporting STEM making. Implications for the development of maker education and future work are also discussed in this paper. Copyright © 2021 Publication of Asia Pacific Society for Computers in Education.
