What is a Makerspace?

A makerspace is a creative learning environment where innovation, design and production go hand in hand. Here, participants have the opportunity to experiment, develop ideas and collaborate in a practical and problem-oriented approach. Makerspaces are not just about technology and digital tools – they are just as much a mindset where problem solving and creativity are in focus.

In a makerspace, people work with a combination of digital and analog technologies. Advanced tools like 3D printers and laser cutters are used side by side with classic tools like soldering irons, glue guns, and drills. This fusion of old and new makes makerspaces dynamic workshops where ideas turn into tangible prototypes and innovative solutions.

Why are makerspaces important in elementary school?

Primary school has a central role in preparing students for the future – both as active citizens in a democratic society and as creative problem solvers in a technological world. In an era where digital development is happening at breakneck speed, it is crucial that children learn to use and understand technologies, not just as consumers, but as creators.

Through makerspace activities, students have the opportunity to develop important skills such as creative thinking, innovation and reflection. They learn to experiment, take chances and develop confidence in their own abilities. By working on projects in an exploratory and playful way, they are equipped to tackle the challenges of the future and contribute to the development of society.

Makerspaces therefore offer a unique learning space where students can explore and create with digital technologies in an environment that inspires creativity and experimentation.
