Question is it possible to stream to multiple devices?

i recently bought a game so my little sisters could play it, but I'm wondering if, while they play, I could stream another game to a different device and play my games there at the same time.

so that, can i have them playing on the main PC, while at the same time i stream (from the same PC) another game to my secondary PC for remote play?

Just make them accounts and use family sharing.

Theres no reason to stream if you have 2 pcs that can run games

The only way would be to run 2 separate Steam accounts in a virtual machine and family share them.

Otherwise it's impossible because of the way operating systems work. When you stream a game your device you stream to basically just overtake the control of your system and streams the video of the display output. But the normal rules still apply. Only 1 window can be in focus, you can only have 1 mouse cursor, etc. You can't plug in 2 keyboards and mice to your PC and use them independently and play 2 games at the same time, can you?
