To help Indiana schools and teachers celebrate Earth Day, the Indiana Department of Environmental Management is offering free virtual classroom presentations to students across the state.

Every year, IDEM staff members offer live presentations to discuss their careers and share STEM-based lessons on air, land, water and recycling.

Earth Day presentations are available to elementary schools in Indiana. Presentation topics include reduce, reuse, recycle your trash; Indiana’s environment and you; and the water cycle.

To keep presentations interactive in the virtual platform this year, IDEM has updated the programs with photos, short videos, whiteboards and the online game-based learning platform Kahoot!

Presentations are available on a first-come, first-served basis throughout April.

Registration is now open, and teachers can request a presentation by visiting in.gov/idem/iee/2418.htm. The deadline to register has been extended to March 19.

Educators may direct questions to IDEM’s environmental education outreach coordinator at [email protected] or 800-988-7901.
