Abstract
It has been shown project based education is one of the possible ways to motivate pupils toward science. Therefore, we tried to find out what can bring upper secondary school students to participating in voluntary after school science (biology) projects.
Eight upper secondary school students were interviewed about their motives, feelings and impact of the project on their future studies. Each participated in a science project no longer than three years ago (with an exception for pilot study).
All students appreciated the participation which changed the image of science and scientist for them.
