Although many studies highlight the development of STEM concepts andskills, more research is needed to understand how to support this development through caregiver-child interactions at home. This study aims to (a) investigate caregiver-child interactions thatsupport the development of child(ren)’s STEM conceptualizations and skills in engineeringdesign challenge activities within family pedagogical practices, and (b) examine caregivers’pedagogical expectations within family pedagogy. Guided by Vygotsky’s cultural-historicalview, the authors analyze child(ren)’s development of STEM conceptualizations
