Please find a new case study from STEM Next Opportunity Fund about family engagement. STEM Next hopes that the successes, challenges, and lessons learned from two STEM programs—the Greene Scholars Program and Digital Youth Divas—will provide you with ideas for deepening family engagement.
There are many reasons that family STEM engagement might be challenging. Parents are busy with work, dinner, homework, and extracurricular activities. The Greene Scholars Program and Digital Youth Divas acknowledge that their families are busy too. So how do they defy the odds and draw parents in? They design programs for and with the families they serve and empower parents with research, education, and resources.
Feel free to share this case study with partners across your STEM Learning Ecosystem Ecosystem. STEM Next also invites your feedback on this work as well as your ideas for additional topics to write about on family engagement.
