An Information Technology Experiences for Students and Teachers (ITEST) project, Digispired, sponsored by the National Science Foundation (NSF) at Longwood University and Virginia State University is discussed in this paper which addresses a unique pedagogy and teaching method in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) disciplines for middle school students in southern Virginia. This paper reports the overall project, student activities and ways in which the project relates to the natural interests of young people in interactive games and thus motivates them to learn programming and explore technology and software engineering careers.
