چکیده
The declining enrollment is a dilemma that many information systems programs are facing. In this study, we design a “Mobile Star” project to promote the information systems major to high school students in Texas. Each “Mobile Star” project consists of a mobile app development workshop and the student’s app showcase. We expect to explore whether the student’s perceived completion, perceived achievement, and perceived enjoyment received from the extracurricular activities can transform into their commitment to formal information systems studies and their actual enrollment into the information systems majors. We introduce our theoretical model, current pilot studies, and future project implementations in this research-in-progress report.

It soon dawned on us that we were at cross purpose...

This likely relates to the 'pleasure of novelty': it is a common experience that when something, even a great work of art, is experienced too often within a short period of time, the pleasure evoked strongly diminishes. The idea of 'fun' in work does not ...
