This process allows the Museum to tell the stories of women and minorities in Automotive history and to address societal issues such as autism and other challenges.educational outreach: the Museum has partnered with the manhattan area technical college to provide education as part of the Automotive repair program by teaching on the history of the automobile through the Collection. The Museum has also significantly increased their outreach and group tours focusing on the history and stories that bring the Collection to life and share the historical significance of the Collection and the way transportation has shaped the united states and the world. Educational enrichment: the Museum is working with a coalition of partners in the education field to develop a s.t.e.a.m. Program for Automotive museums around the country.
