Abstract	Although efforts have been made in the United States to increase diversity within the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) fields, the Latino population is still largely underrepresented. This novel study focused on Latino underrepresentation by exploring Latino parents' attitudes toward science. We organized 15 family science events in which parents completed a pre- and post-event attitude toward science survey to find out their attitudes toward science. Fourteen Latino parents participated in the study. Latino parents' pre- and post-event attitude differences were statistically significant with a p-value of (p= 0.009). This study may inform organizations on strategies for changing Latino parents' attitudes toward science. (As Provided).
