INDIANA – To help Indiana schools celebrate Earth Day 2025, the Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) is offering free hands-on classroom presentations to elementary students across the state again this year. Every year, IDEM staff visit schools to discuss their careers and share STEM-based air, land, water, and recycling lessons.
Classroom Earth Day presentations are available for elementary schools and vary from 30 to 50 minutes. IDEM professionals throughout the state conduct these presentations, sharing their experiences and the types of careers offered through IDEM. Teachers can choose from several interactive presentations on recycling and reducing trash, how long trash lasts in landfills, watersheds, the water cycle, and air quality.
In-person classroom presentations are available on a first-come, first-served basis throughout April, and each school may request up to four presentations. Registration opens Feb. 3 and ends Feb. 21.
For more information on specific programs offered and to request a classroom presentation, visit idem.IN.gov/iee.
Educators may direct questions to IDEM’s Environmental Education & Outreach Coordinator at education@idem.IN.gov or 317-234-3165.
