This study evaluates the effectiveness of incorporating makerspace workshops into computer science education by assessing 21st century skills critical thinking, collaboration, communication, and creativity before and after the intervention. Using a pre test and post test approach with the "21st Century Skills Survey Instrument," the study quantifies the impact of makerspace activities on student skill development. Participants included students enrolled in two computer science courses at Cyprus College. Statistical analysis, conducted using Python, revealed significant improvements across all assessed skills, indicating that makerspace workshops enhance essential competencies needed for the modern workforce. These findings provide valuable insights into how experiential learning environments can transform traditional computer science education, promoting a more interactive and engaging learning experience. Future research should focus on larger, more diverse samples and explore specific components of makerspace activities that most effectively contribute to skill development.
