2019 AISL PI Meeting Poster - Teaching Together: Engaging Parents and Preschoolers in STEM Activities & Academic Conversations

February 11, 2019 | Public Programs, Informal/Formal Connections

This poster was presented at the 2019 NSF AISL Principal Investigators Meeting.

The project's goals were to:

  • Use a series of 6 museum-facilitated family workshops at pre-kindergarten (pre-k) centers to promote informal STEM learning.
  • Examine 3 conditions in which families and their children most benefit from “doing science and math” together.
  • Focus on populations that are typically underrepresented in STEM fields – families experiencing poverty and families who speak English and/or Spanish at home
