This longitudinal study investigates the impact of an extra-curricular programming
workshop in student interest development in computer science. The workshop was targeted at
12–18-year old youngsters. A survey was sent to all previous participants with a known home
address; 31.5% responded the survey (n = 197). This data was then combined with pre-workshop
survey data, and analyzed with mixed methods. Positive development of interest was discovered
for 57% of the respondents, of which nearly all attributed their interest increase to the workshop at
least partly (92%). Qualitative inspection revealed that the workshop provided three anchors that
facilitated students’ reengagement with programming and development of interest: disciplinary
content, a concrete artifact built by students themselves, and tools. Neutral development and interest
regress were also discovered, though the impact of the workshop on these interest trajectories
remains unclear.
