Article Synopsis
- The study assessed a STEM family engagement program aimed at improving parent involvement in early STEM learning for families in poverty, implemented across 20 schools with a high percentage of students receiving free/reduced lunch.
- While the core treatment including workshops and museum passes did not significantly impact parent involvement, adding take-home STEM materials showed a more positive effect, particularly at kindergarten follow-up.
- The findings indicate that for families with limited time and resources, alternative methods beyond in-person workshops may be necessary to enhance engagement in STEM education.
