Abstract: Emerging in the United States in the 2000s, the maker movement is associated with the growing interest of people in the "do it yourself" concept. However, leveraging digital communication technologies developed in physical and virtual spaces, the maker culture goes beyond Do it Yourself (DIY), enhancing the capacity for learning, collaboration, and inspiration among the maker community. In parallel, popularized since 2005 through investments made by the United States, STEM education aims to integrate the teaching of disciplines such as science, technology, engineering, and mathematics to develop in students, among other potentials, the ability to correlate the learned content with real-world situations. In a multidisciplinary and integrated approach, the relationship between the maker culture and STEM education encourages students to make connections across different areas of knowledge. In this context, the present study discusses the potential for using maker culture in STEM education and the contributions this association can provide to the teaching of biology, considering the specifics of the public education system. Results obtained from qualitative and interpretative research on case studies indicate that, despite the issues of time and entrenched expository models, pedagogical practices based on STEM education in conjunction with maker culture stimulate the enjoyment of science and technology. The work also highlights the need for ongoing teacher training and an increase in research on STEM education and science teaching in Brazil.
