Abstract
last decades. Students' attitude and motivation towards learning science is one of the main topics for field didactics.
There are studies focused on measuring as well as improving students' attitudes towards science. Different teaching methods and approaches have been tested.
The possible impact of extracurricular activities like subject olympiads and competitions or science camps on motivation has also been evaluated. Describing what triggered interest in science and nature for the students who took part in science olympiads can help us identify possible ways to improve attitudes toward science among students.
