The article presents a description of the experience of training mathematics teachers to create a maker space in mathematics lessons using the GeoGebra package in the context the program and methods of advanced training courses.A survey of mathematics teachers was conducted, which shows the need to create refresher courses for the implementation of STEAM practices in the educational process of general secondary education. The survey allowed us to establish that the main means of implementing STEM education in mathematics lessons teachers consider the creation of a maker space using the GeoGebra math package.The statistical processing of experimental results on the effectiveness of training mathematics teachers in advanced training courses to create a maker space in mathematics lessons using GeoGebra shows that mathematics teachers have a high level of motivation to implement various ways to implement the concept of STEAM education and acquire relevant STEAM competencies. But the level of their knowledge and the level of their reflection of the relevant professional activity need to be improved through the creation of advanced training courses on the implementation of STEAM practices in the educational process of general secondary education institutions.
