Did you know that there is a National History Day (NHD) Project competition held each year in Washington, DC? Did you know that the NHD competition is open to learners from middle to high school age? Did you know that learners from Home schools, Public schools, and International schools are welcome to compete each year? Did you know that there are five categories to choose from when competing? Did you know that you can compete as an individual or as a group? If you have ever wondered about what is involved in completing an entry for this competition, but did not know who to ask, or where to start---here is your sign! The answer is here, the information you need is here in this class. After a short introduction, I will review the five categories, the theme for 2024, how to begin your research, and any other learner questions.
