Also,in the context of the sample, there was a high, preexisting interest in STEM to begin with of 2.7out of 4. As such, the true extent of the impact on STEM interest is not best seen in the results ofthis sample, but it still must be noted that there still was an increase despite existing interest.Consequently, it can be found that, by contextualizing ODE models within familiar scenarios, suchas car dynamics, the project helped students see coding as a practical tool rather than a theoreticalexercise.Survey Results on the Open-Ended
