abstract = "The aim of this research was to examine if a set of three science and technology workshops would promote first-grade pupils{\textquoteright} science-related competence beliefs. The first workshop dealt with electric circuits and related handicraft tasks. The second workshop involved programming with Lego Mindstorms robots. The third workshop was related to computer-based data logging. Fifty-nine Finnish first graders (age 7–8 years) participated in the digitally intensive science workshops, and 38 pupils served as a control group. The data were analysed using a paired samples t-test. The analysis results reveal that the set of three workshops increased the pupils{\textquoteright} science and technology-related competence beliefs.",
