“…In recent years, an increasing number of scholars have examined family participation in out‐of‐school engineering programs and home‐based experiences grounded in engineering opportunities (e.g., Simpson, Kim, & Yang, 2021; Simpson, Maltese, et al, 2021; Simpson, Yang, et al, 2021; Tolbert Smith et al, 2022; Verdín et al, 2021). This research as a collective highlights the value of parent–child engagement in engineering contexts outside the school environment, including outcomes such as an increase in problem‐solving abilities (J. Kim & Kim, 2021), development of creative and independent thinking as engineers (Knox, Paul, et al, 2022; Knox, Simpson, et al, 2022), heightened interest in engineering (S. Pattison, Svarovsky, et al, 2020), cultivation of engineering identity (Simpson & Knox, 2022), parental awareness of the engineering field (Knox, Paul, et al, 2022; Knox, Simpson, et al, 2022), engagement in math and science concepts (Simpson, Kim, & Yang, 2021; Simpson, Maltese, et al, 2021; Simpson, Yang, et al, 2021), and fostering of foundational knowledge of engineering concepts and processes (Pagano et al, 2020; Svarovsky et al, 2017).…”
