500 Festival: April Study Trips

The 500 Festival & Indianapolis 500 Education Program, presented by Indiana University Health, is a free program for Indiana fourth-grade classrooms that immerses students in the world of the Indianapolis 500 and 500 Festival! The Education Program equips fourth-grade educators with engaging lesson plans and classroom materials that allow students to explore the significant role of the 500 Festival and the Indianapolis 500 in Indiana’s state history and culture.

Participating fourth-grade classrooms have the opportunity to attend a Study Trip that takes place at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in April! During the visit, students will put classroom lessons into action at interactive, hands-on educational stations located around the track.

Volunteer school guides lead the classes to the various learning stations throughout the day and volunteer station leaders are needed to teach a at a station such as the History and Traditions of IMS, Driver Equipment or even the Many Careers of IndyCar! All materials are provided ahead of time to review and practice.
