Education Project: Online Learning Platform and Onsite Exhibition

K–12 students and educators are a priority for Asia Society Texas Center as we advance our mission of building cross-cultural understanding for a more inclusive society. In an effort to assess needs, identify gaps, and create effective and appealing learning experiences, our leadership team visited 20+ museums in 6 cities, as well as hosted a series of workshops with 30 educators and 120 students.

Building on this work, we are excited to launch a bold Education Project comprised of two initiatives: an Online Learning Platform and an Onsite Exhibition. Currently, we are in the capital campaign fundraising phase which will take place through midyear of 2022 with the buildout timeline being finalized.

Online Learning Platform

The aim of the online platform is to spark student curiosity, build cultural empathy, and develop global competency through an immersive, virtual journey across Asia utilizing graphic novels, interactive learning, and tools for educators. This platform will become a premier resource hub for educators in Texas and nationally to seamlessly integrate content about Asia into their classrooms.

Onsite Exhibition

At our Center in Houston's Museum District, the onsite exhibition will offer an immersive learning journey through Asian art, culture, and contemporary global issues in a fun, multisensory, and interactive environment. This flexible permanent exhibition will provide engaging and fun learning rooms and stations with content and materials refreshed regularly.
