The aim of this essay is to reflect on an alternative pedagogical model, family workshops, and see how they can serve as an unconventional approach to family engagement, as well as provide a practical recount of the work developed by the LISELL-B Project. This alternative and innovative model may serve as a practical guide for educators, researchers and community activists to create and enact their own projects and support minoritized Latinx youth and their families. Using science as the content area to learn, this essay explores how Latinx families can engage in meaningful experiential learning beyond formal educational settings.
