Sažetak
In the Republic of Croatia primary and secondary schools students compete in IT categories such as solving problems in programming, knowing fundamental Computer Science concepts or individual software project development. This research aims to explore different student’s motivation to participate in IT competition and to plan and organize self-preparation for it. Impact of some factors like competitor’s gender, category of competition, preparing strategy, general feeling of satisfaction and so on achieving success in this IT competition was explored. Preliminary data, among other, suggests that students consider their mentors (teachers), the most important factor in preparing for competition. Also, students do not consider that this competition could bring them some prestige in school or society, but they have some intrinsic motivation to participate in competition and use all available resources, human or material, to achieve success.
