  1. The tasks list does not exist in the child widget. You can access the widget via the callback method you provided.
    Refactor your FlatButton to look like this:

    FlatButton(
      onPressed: () {
        addTaskCallBack(newTaskTitle);
      },
      child: const Text('Add'),
      color: Colors.lightBlueAccent,
    )

  2. In task_screen.dart create a function like this

    void _handleAddTask(String _name)=>setState(()=>tasks.add(Task(name: _name))));
    

    Then modify showModalBottomSheet to look like this

    showModalBottomSheet(builder:(context)=>AddTaskScreen(_handleAddTask,"Add task"), context: context);},),);}}
    

    In add_Task_Screen.dart, modify
    AddTaskScreen( this.addTaskCallBack, {Key? key}) : super(key: key); to this

    AddTaskScreen( this.addTaskCallBack, this.newTaskTitle, {Key? key}) : super(key: key);
    

    create a TextEditingController for your TextField and pass it to it like this

    TextField(
                  autofocus: true,
    controller: _textFieldController,
                    autocorrect: true,
                  textAlign: TextAlign.center,
                  onChanged: (newText){
                   newTaskTitle = newText;
                  },
                ),
    

    Finally, in the onPress of Add button, modify it to something like this:

                FlatButton(
                  onPressed: (){
    
                    print(newTaskTitle);
    addTaskCallBack(_textFieldController.text);
                  },
                  child: const Text('Add'),
                  color: Colors.lightBlueAccent,
                )
