FREE Programs for science teachers from Eli Lilly


Eli Lilly and Company offers a variety of interactive distance learning experiences for K-12 students, and organizations across the nation via the use of video conference and on-line programs. Our programs target areas in research, health, chemistry, biology, and career planning.

About our free Video Conference Programs:

Attached is a one page brochure that will provide you additional information about our video conference programs.

About our Free On-line Programs:

Lilly partnered with the Central Indiana Educational Service Center (CIESC) and public educators to develop the following on-line programs.
· The Epidemic Challenge: You Be The Detective
· Chemistry is a Blast On-line

All program materials are aligned to Indiana State and National educational standards and were developed for Middle and High School educators to supplement their curriculum. The program includes downloadable teacher guides with hands-on classroom activities, educator materials, and corresponding video segments. To learn more about these programs and access program materials visit the CIESC website at www.ciesc.k12.in.us/lilly.htm. Additionally, you will find a virtual drug discovery tour called "The Future Begins Yesterday" which is a good resource for students to learn about scientific career opportunities.

If you use either of the on-line programs, we ask that you take 5 minutes to complete an evaluation. Completing the evaluation lets us know if these programs are valuable and if we should develop more on-line programs.

Should you have any questions concerning our programs, please feel free to contact me at 317-276-0384 or via e-mail at off_debbie@lilly.com.
