Exhibition Educator Orientation
Visit one of our special educator events to experience our newest permanent exhibit – Driving America, – The World’s Premier Automotive Exhibition. Driving America focuses on the enormous influence the automobile has had on American culture, from the automotive innovations that have changed our lives to the everyday choices we make. Driving America is 80,000 square feet of historically significant vehicles, authentic artifacts, digital media, interactive kiosks and personal accounts.

We will also share information about our many free, downloadable, pre- and post-visit digital educational resources, like Educator Digikits and ExhibitBuilder, which can enhance an exhibit tour with rich curriculum-supporting value. Then explore the exhibit on your own, and get inspired for your next class field trip!
