Presenters: Tricia Zucker, Cheryl McCallum, and Cindy Elias, Teaching Together

Topic: Tricia, Cheryl, and Cindy will share initial findings from an experimental study that addresses potential barriers parents/caregivers may perceive to doing informal STEM activities with their child. Findings will support STEM learning at home and reduce early disparities in informal STEM learning for families with young children who are experiencing poverty.
