This study examined the relationship between mass innovation spaces (makerspaces) in higher vocational colleges and students' entrepreneurial intention in Henan Province, China, focusing on the mediating role of creativity. A quantitative research design was employed with data collected from 393 students across five higher vocational colleges through online questionnaires. The survey instrument comprised three validated scales measuring makerspaces, creativity, and entrepreneurial intention. Structural equation modeling and path analysis were conducted using SPSS 22.0 and AMOS 24.0 to test four hypotheses. The results showed that: (1) makerspaces significantly enhance students' entrepreneurial intention (β=0.412, p<0.001); (2) makerspaces significantly promote creativity development (β=0.536, p<0.001); (3) creativity positively influences entrepreneurial intention
(β=0.328, p<0.001) and partially mediates the makerspace-entrepreneurial intention relationship (indirect effect=0.176, p<0.001). The findings reveal that makerspaces enhance entrepreneurial intention through both direct effects (42.8%) and indirect effects via creativity cultivation (29.8%). This study contributes empirical evidence supporting the integration of creativity-focused activities in makerspace design and provides practical implications for vocational colleges and policymakers.
