Students also have the chance to tour the statehouse, see where the Governor works and observe floor sessions of the House, Senate and Supreme Court chambers.

The Indiana House Page Program is an opportunity for students between the ages of 13-18 to gain a better understanding of the lawmaking process by meeting their State Representative and witnessing how laws are made firsthand.
