Abstract
The industry is facing with the increasing lack of STEM graduates every year. It is of vital importance to motivate pupils for technical schools or schools in the STEM fields. This paper analyzes data from 693 pupils about their interest in a STEM career as well as their attitude towards STEM in general. Within this study, we also analyze the influence of the participation in robotics workshops. The method is a quantitative survey with questionnaires. Results show what mostly influenced the pupils to pursue a STEM career as well as the influence of robotics on them. Finally, the paper presents three STEM-related projects, which we also analyzed in regard to their impact on the pupils.
