About the Series
Join us for our 8-week summer program of automotive workshops that focus on the care and maintenance of automobiles. These hands-on sessions led by industry experts allow you to learn the techniques and procedures to work on cars.
For those eager to learn, the Petersen Automotive Museum invites participants between ages 15 and 19 to sign up for the program below. You must be able to attend at least 6 of the 8 weeks of workshops. Guardians may accompany minors but are not allowed to participate in the workshops, and are welcome to explore the museum if they wish to remain on-site.
