This paper presents an update of student’s interest in learning science and technology. The Swedish empirical evidence has been collected in a large scale explorative international research study called the Relevance of Science Education Second (ROSES). The results show that students are interested in learning about for example space and things that scientists cannot explain. Girls are more interested in the human body, dreams and the human soul while boys favour items about weapons and explosions. Everyday science and technology do not seem to be engaging. Several items students show low interest in are typically part of a secondary school science curriculum. The results are discussed from trends and developments.
