Education

Our STEAM-focused programs, activities, and projects support students in hands-on learning about car culture, art, design, mechanics, and engineering. During Field Trips to our Museum, kids have the opportunity to learn about automotive-related common core concepts in a fun environment, and older students can explore careers in the automotive industry and get hands-on experience through IGNITE, SDAM's Academy!
