Info
The Kids Makerspace at re:publica 2026 is a lively hub of imagination, creativity, and collaboration. Kids will step into the roles of designers and inventors, building, repairing, and reimagining objects and spaces using hands-on materials and creative digital tools. For kids and families ages 7+

Toy Repair champions repair as a learning practice. By fixing broken toys, children explore how things work while building problem-solving skills and a habit of fixing rather than discarding.

In DIY Flashlight, participants build a flashlight using basic electronics and 3D-printed parts, learning how components function together and gaining hands-on experience with circuits and digital fabrication.

Prompt → MAKE: Talking to Machines explores language, imagination, AI, and digital fabrication. Children use words as a design tool, turning prompts into physical objects through 3D printing, laser, and vinyl cutting.

MakeSpace invites children to build the makerspace itself. Starting from an empty room, kids design and construct zones for making, play, rest, and inspiration using recycled and found materials.

In Frankentoy, discarded toys are transformed into new hybrid creations. Children remix toy parts, add simple electronics, and invent characters and stories, blending sustainability, design, and imagination.

Creative Flow is back, offering making with polymer clay, vinyl cutters, heat presses, and mentors who create alongside children.
