play with the materials, tools, and theirideas in their home environments and how caregivers used different facilitation approacheswithout any training prior to engaging with the engineering kits. IntroductionConversations between caregivers and children create natural environments for children to play,practice, and learn [1]. Researchers have reported how conversations about science, technology,engineering, and mathematics (STEM) promotes a collaborative process of sense-making ofscientific literacy [2], sharing knowledge through explanation and questions [3], and developingacademic competency [4]. However, in general, studies that examined STEM-relatedconversations between caregivers and children

In the quarantine box activity,students worked as mechanical engineers to innovate a simple design for a box that wouldprevent human contact with a ‘pathogen’ while allowing manipulation of that pathogen. Thesanitary mask and biohazard suit activities allowed the camp participants to work as biomedicalengineers by asking them to design systems to keep healthcare professionals from becominginfected by the disease. In these activities, students learned about the importance of lab safety,simple thermodynamics, and how to test and redesign to achieve maximum efficacy.Additionally, students applied concepts from computer and electrical engineering by buildingand testing

In reviewing early attempts at K-12 engineering education, theNRC found that including engineering in K-12 education has numerous benefits including:improved learning and achievement in science and mathematics; increased awareness ofengineering and the work of engineers; understanding of and the ability to engage in engineeringdesign; interest in pursuing engineering as a career; and increased technological literacy. 2Initially individual states led the effort to include engineering in K-12 education. More recentlyattention has shifted to the national level by integrating engineering design into the NextGeneration Science Standards (NGSS) at the same level as scientific inquiry.
