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
