Family Engagement in Hands On Learning
A Proposal for SXSWEdu 2018
Key Questions
• Why are parents/caregivers
often uncomfortable taking an
active role in hands on learning
and making environments?
• What are different ways to
involve parents/caregivers in
hands on learning and making?
• What are best practices and
practical ways to empower
parents/caregivers to take an
active role in hands on learning
and making—while still keeping
the activity child-centered?
