Abstract
The chapter illustrates the concept of STEM game nights as a powerful platform for promoting informal STEM education. In particular, the authors illustrate how various institutions' mathematics teacher educators organized their own STEM game nights for local elementary school students and their families. Integrally, preservice teachers planned and executed these collaborative events. The chapter highlights the diverse array of STEM game night examples, drawn from experiences working with preservice teachers, local students, and their families across three institutions nationwide. The authors emphasize the unique opportunities and benefits these events offer, focusing on collaborative efforts, preservice teacher empowerment, student engagement, and family involvement. By weaving in relevant research, this chapter provides valuable insights and guidance for STEM teacher educators, K-12 teachers, professional development educators, and parents to harness the power of informal learning through games.
