Civics 101 provides free online educational tools to teach Pennsylvania students about how state government functions. Aimed at the fourth grade level, these free videos are intended to supplement classroom learning. Programs include interviews with elected officials who have served in the three branches of government, tours of the state Capitol and Governor's residence, and tutorials on how government works. In addition, a Continuing Education section provides adults with a deeper level of study through panels and lectures on topics of interest.
