Family Engagement

Students’ families and communities are critical support networks in building youth’s positive identity development and confidence.

YES Family Resources

  • Help families understand that engineering is all around them.
  • Honor families’ knowledge and experiences.
  • Engage families as co-creators and problem solvers.
  • Provide support for families to advocate for their youth’s STEM learning and possible careers in STEM. 

YES resources and strategies, including a Family Letter, scaffold active communication with families, spurring conversations at home and connecting students’ learning to their communities.
