Automotive Education Starts Here

Enrich your classroom curriculum with our inquiry-based tours and design-focused activities that turn abstract concepts into real-world applications—all aligned with California curriculum standards. Using the automobile as a learning tool, students can explore history, social studies, art, and STEM in exciting new ways.

Join our Museum Educators for a 75-minute interactive journey through the Petersen, where hands-on STEAM activities bring automotive history and science to life. Tours are fully customizable for K–12 classrooms.

Can’t make it to the museum? We’ll bring it to you! Petersen Outreach delivers engaging programs—from grade-specific lessons and school fair activities to large-scale community and car show activations—sharing our incredible collection and history with your students and community.

Assistance for Title 1 Schools & Students is available.
