The development of innovative Makerspaces is transforming the higher education landscape by delivering practical experiences and fostering an entrepreneurial mindset. These spaces provide an atmosphere for students to improve their soft skills, such as creativity, collaboration, and problem-solving. Currently, there is a significant disparity between the numbers of male and female lecturers, researchers, and students in various fields in Ethiopia and Djibouti, including engineering and construction, agriculture, manufacturing, veterinary medicine, and business. To address this issue, the Ethiopian-Djibouti Females at Makerspace (EtD-FaM) project focuses on the disciplines within its scope and aims to reduce the gender gap. To achieve this goal, the current study proposes a structured methodology based on an online survey to gather the requirements, needs, and perspectives of female participants from Ethiopia and Djibouti, as well as their opinions on the new makerspace concept in their universities.
