Bright Futures- STEAM Education
The Museum of Neon Art's three-part school engagement program serves high school and middle school students in Los Angeles County. In 2020, the program started via Zoom. In 2022, the program was piloted in person. The program includes a specialized neon professional development for the partnering classroom teachers, a pre-visit classroom workshop for their students, and an in-depth field trip to the museum. In the pilot, teachers reported renewed interest in teaching as well as positive behavioral and learning outcomes in students.
