Students are invited to submit projects to the Eco-Science Fair on April 12. Students can research environmental issues including aquaculture, vermiculture, composting, social awareness, urban farming, alternative fuel and recycling programs in their schools and communities. There is no fee for submitting a project, and the event is free for K-12 students and teachers/chaperones to attend.

Mind if we invite ourselves over? Through our outreach programs, we join your students at your school to facilitate learning opportunities with hands-on activities. Learn more about our outreach programs, then contact Krystle Mangan at 317.509.7679 or kmangan@indianamuseum.org.

Classrooms around the country will take time this month to share the story and impact of Martin Luther King, Jr. Much of his legacy continues on through social justice. This can be a challenging, but valuable topic for your classroom. In our Educator Activity of the Month, we share a variety of resources for social justice education. For additional discussion, suggest your high schoolers join us at the Indiana State Museum for Courageous Conversations. It's an evening program on Jan. 17 for high schoolers and adults to talk about contemporary community topics in a moderated discussion. Or, suggest your students join us on MLK Day; all open Indiana State Museum and Historic Sites locations will offer free admission (see details).
