We'll bring history right to your door with these classroom enrichment programs for students. Available all year, each 60-minute program meets Indiana academic standards for the social studies. Programs are recommended for a maximum of 50 students per session.

	Famous Hoosiers Learn about diverse and notable people with ties to Indiana and play an exciting round of “Famous Hoosiers Bingo.”		Madam C.J. Walker Discuss the life of this famous black entrepreneur and participate in a team activity where students design their own hair-care product.
	Indiana Statehood and Constitution Students will create their own state constitution and bill of rights in this program introducing the history of the beginning of our state.		Civil Rights in Indiana Examine the civil rights movement in America and specifically Indiana. Student teams participate in a mock discrimination court case complete with a judge and jury.
	Indiana and the Civil War Investigate key events in the Civil War, with an emphasis on Indiana’s troop contributions, and study letters from Hoosier soldiers.		Communication in World War II Take a close look at two Hoosier journalists, reporter Ernie Pyle and photographer John Bushemi, while probing the broader context of the war. Students participate in a letter-writing activity and discuss censorship during the war.

Programs are recommended for students in grades four through 12, with the exception of Indiana Statehood and Constitution, which is recommended for students in grades four through six. Fees are $75 per session, including materials, plus a mileage charge of 50 cents per mile, round trip.
