In the context of the growing challenges facing contemporary societies, the development of individual skills and the promotion of creativity have become an urgent necessity, especially in childhood, which is a critical stage in the formation of the individual's personality and the development of their skills. In this context, makerspaces for kids have emerged with their unique characteristics, which encourage collaborative and active learning, and enhance children's creativity and the development of their skills that they need in the era of modern education. This study examines the impact of makerspaces on the development of creativity in children in an educational context, and provides a detailed analysis of children's experiences within these innovative educational environments. Through a case study of Morocco, the descriptive approach was adopted to describe phenomena as they are in reality, using field surveys, interviews, and questionnaires as data collection methods. The study aims to understand the impact of makerspaces on the development of children's skills and the promotion of their creativity, and to provide comprehensive insights into inspiring and motivating educational environments. In the context of the study's findings, a survey of a sample of 53 parents of children in the makerspace showed a clear improvement in the level of their children's skills. The sample of participating parents confirmed that their children describe their experience in the makerspace in a positive way, which highlights the effectiveness of this environment in promoting creativity and developing children's abilities.
