In September 2021 DARTEF has launched a pilot testing in local schools. During this testing students 310 students (aged 12-15) used DARTEF simulations from September till December 2021. Then we measured change of  students attitude towards STEM careers. The results have shown us, that after using DARTEF software, average percentage of students who would like to have STEM job similar to what software has simulated was 26.1%. For comparison – only 9% of students currently (PISA2018) in Estonia select STEM job. Therefore, the growth is almost triple. It must be noted, that for some grades, the percentage of students who would select STEM career has even reached 45%.
