| description | Makerspaces have emerged as dynamic environments that foster creativity, innovation, and handson learning experiences. This article delves into the function of makerspaces as educational
environment fostering sustainable development. The study seeks to emphasize the importance of
makerspaces in cultivating the skills and perspectives essential for sustainable development in the
21st century. By performing a systematic literature review, it examines how makerspaces empower
individuals to engage with sustainable practices and contribute to broader societal and
environmental goals. The article delves into the multifaceted ways in which makerspaces support
sustainable development through experiential education, collaborative problem-solving, and the
application of emerging technologies. Additionally, it highlights the potential for makerspaces to
bridge the gap between formal education and practical sustainability challenges, ultimately
promoting a more sustainable and equitable future. The aim of the study is to underscore the
significance of makerspaces in nurturing the skills and mindsets needed for sustainable development
in the 21st century. In this sense, we performed a systematic literature review of publications from
the ERIC and Google Academic databases. 33 articles met the inclusion criteria. Their analysis
reveals that makerspaces contribute as learning spaces to sustainable development, in various ways,
educating participants about sustainable development, but also fostering innovation, debate and
social action towards the global goals of sustainability and justice. Overall, this analysis underscores
the significant potential of makerspaces as learning spaces for sustainable development and
education for development. They can not only educate students about sustainable development but
also inspire innovation, debate, and social action towards global sustainability and justice goals.
