This dissertation explores the role of makerspaces in formal education, with a focus on technical education at the upper secondary level in Austria.

The research questions explore the significance of makerspaces for (technical) secondary education and the process of establishing a makerspace in an (Austrian) secondary school.
The conceptual framework is based on a comprehensive literature review that provides an overview of the Austrian education system with a focus on formal technical education and the gender gap on the technical secondary level. In addition, makification, makerspaces, and their importance for enhancing education are discussed. An extensive case study combined with quantitative data explores the development of an open makerspace at HTL Hollabrunn, a technical secondary school in Lower Austria. The findings provide insights into the successful utilization of a makerspace to enhance technical education, and support youth development, and diversification. Finally, the conclusions emphasize the significance of makerspaces for secondary education and provide a guide for the implementation of a makerspace in school.
