Abstract: The authors empirically examine the effectiveness of an intervention program designed to facilitate interest in cyber science among high school students (N = 60). Pretest-posttest and mediation designs were used to model self-report data that were collected at pre-camp, during a cyber-related task at mid-camp, and at post-camp. An analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) revealed a significant two-way interaction whereby perceived value of cyber science increased from pretest to posttest for girls but decreased for boys. Situational interest was also found to mediate the relationship between Investigative vocational interest type and cyber science self efficacy. Implications for future cyber science intervention programs as well as areas of additional research are discussed.
