As a center for history and innovation, Intrepid Museum’s programs and exhibitions amplify the real experiences of those on the frontlines of history and the stories behind the engineering marvels in our collection. Curious individuals of all ages and abilities are invited to experience wonder, ask questions and be inspired to seek creative solutions to the 21st century’s greatest challenges.
The Intrepid Museum’s nationally-recognized K-12 education programs support and expand school-based learning and student understanding of history and innovations in engineering and technology both in and out of school. This is achieved through an integrated, multimodal approach, including exploration through the arts, using the examples of the past to spark ideas for solutions to 21st-century challenges. K-12 students are engaged through long-term partnerships, residencies, and field trips.
The Museum’s Education Department offers a variety of opportunities and formats for teachers to refresh, be inspired, learn from experts and network with colleagues.
