ABSTRACT
This paper presents some maker's projects developed by teachers of public educational institutions that took place in a public network of maker spaces in Sao Paulo, the program Fab Lab Livre SP. The common thread uniting these projects is the effort to use the makerspaces as sites in which students do not only learn how to make, but also take advantage of the making activities to reflect on social and environmental issues.
