This is something I recently tweeted about. After attending a family outreach event I was reflecting on the importance of using the opportunity to engage parents.I do feel this is an opportunity too often missed.  I was also hoping people could suggest some literature  about this so would be interested in what people on this list have to say about it.

Dear all

I wonder if anybody could point me towards anything in the literature, peer-reviewed or otherwise, on the importance and value of engaging parents in the process of inspiring young people about STEM, and the multiplying or reinforcing role this can play alongside direct activity with young people themselves?

Many thanks in advance for any suggestions.
