This study presents the activities of the Projeto Mais Ciência na Escola in Mato Grosso, approved under the CNPq/MCTI/FNDCT Conecta & Capacita Public Call No. 13/2024. Developed between 2025 and 2026 at EEDIEB Prof. Milton Marques Curvo, in Cáceres, Mato Grosso, Brazil, the project strengthens teaching and research through investigative practices and maker culture. In the Maker Laboratory, theory and practice are integrated with the participation of scholarship students, collaborators, and the pedagogical team. Activities include the production of sustainable materials, food preparation, 3D printing, and participation in scientific events. These actions foster student protagonism, creativity, and school-community integration, consolidating the laboratory as a space for scientific education and pedagogical innovation.
