SmartLabs in Libraries
In April 2025, we opened new centers for the development of digital skills and creativity in Slovakia. We launched 50 SmartLabs – Intelligent Laboratories established in libraries across various parts of the country. Creative workplace, makerspace, urban workshop, or Fablab- these are names for spaces that share common features such as supporting creativity, access to modern manufacturing technologies, and innovative education.
Our goal is to popularize science and technology through freely accessible library spaces and to inspire interest in STEAM fields among children and youth. However, the services and activities of SmartLabs are also open to the general public. Everyone who wants to discover their creativity and learn new skills is welcome.
