Throughout the day-long conference, parents teamed up with content-level experts in the subjects of Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math to deliver fun, hands-on sessions in both English and Spanish designed to illustrate how parents can reinforce student learning at home.
Topics included simple technology and engineering activities for early learners; a math and physics “race car” activity for middle school students; and an “Engineering your own ‘fridge” experiment for high school students.
In the afternoon, families participated in “Tinkerlab” projects to foster creative thinking, which were then displayed at a STEAM showcase closing out the day.
Participants learn specific strategies to support their children, and then later practice their new skills and improve their strategies through collaboration with other parents.
“We’re extremely proud of what our parent leaders have accomplished and are committed to ensuring all families have the skills and mindsets necessary to advocate for their child’s education.”
