Bringing Science Home with PEEP: Using Digital Media to Foster Family Engagement in Science at Home

March 1st, 2019 | EVALUATION

PEEP Family Science is a collaboration among the WGBH Education and Children’s Media teams, Education Development Center (EDC) researchers and staff, and parents participating in programs with two home visiting organizations: AVANCE in Texas and HIPPY in Arkansas. The project aims to foster joint media engagement and hands-on science exploration among diverse, low-income 3- to 5-year-old children and their parents through the development and testing of an app-based science intervention. This report presents the project background, research questions, study method, and findings of the research, as well as recommendations and a discussion of broader implications of this work.
