documented how talking about science and engineeringconcepts with family and friends, particularly parents and siblings, is one of the mostinfluential informal learning experiences on individual’s identity development andpursuit of a career in STEM [1-2]. This research points to the home environment andfamily connections as another, and perhaps an alternative, context to support thedevelopment and growth of youth’s identity in STEM than more formal (e.g.,classrooms) and non-formal (e.g., museums, libraries) contexts. As such, utilizing thehome environment has the potential to diminish barriers and access to STEMlearning opportunities due to cost and cultural and structural inequalities, as well aspromote families’ everyday experiences and
