EDUCATION: THE MUSEUM UTILIZES THEIR "TREAD TALKS" AS A TOOL TO MAKE VEHICLES ACCESSIBLE TO EVERYONE. 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: EDUCATION IS AT THE HEART OF THE MIDWEST DREAM CAR COLLECTION. EACH MONTH, OUR TREAD TALKS BRING AUTOMOTIVE HISTORY AND INNOVATION TO LIFE THROUGH ENGAGING PRESENTATIONS. WE PARTNER WITH LOCAL SCHOOLS AND EDUCATIONAL GROUPS TO HOST FIELD TRIPS AND HANDS-ON ACTIVITIES TAILORED FOR ALL AGES. OUR NEWLY DESIGNED AUDIO TOURS, CREATED FOR BOTH ADULTS AND CHILDREN, OFFER DEEPER INSIGHT INTO THE STORIES BEHIND THE CARS. THROUGH PARTNERSHIPS, PROGRAMS, AND INTERACTIVE EXPERIENCES, WE ARE PROUD TO MAKE EDUCATION A CORNERSTONE OF OUR MISSION.
