Abstract

This article explores effective methods to enhance interest in information technology through modern educational strategies. Traditional teaching approaches often fail to maintain long-term engagement, while interactive and real-world applications have shown significant success in fostering curiosity and motivation. The study highlights the impact of project-based learning, gamification, industry mentorship, interdisciplinary integration, and adaptive learning technologies in increasing IT engagement. Statistical findings reveal that these methods contribute to higher participation rates, improved retention, and greater career interest in technology fields. The research underscores the necessity of evolving educational approaches to meet the demands of the digital age and suggests further exploration into emerging technologies such as AI-driven learning and virtual reality in IT education.
