The event, held on National History Day in Michigan, is an educational competition aimed at encouraging students to explore the history and historical subjects. Participating students get to learn through hands-on research and the development of a presentation.
Working on these projects expose students to the methods used by professional historians and researchers. They must use "primary" and "secondary" resources and understand the meaning and importance of these concepts. They apply historical and social studies as well as English and language arts.
Each year the national office in College Park, Maryland chooses a theme for the annual competition. This year the theme was "Taking a Stand in History". Students were required to relate their particular subject to this theme and explain the significance to the individual or event that they selected.
Competition is open to all 4-12 grade students. Teachers work with students to select a category from Exhibits, Documentaries, Performances or Websites. The students may compete individually or as groups. Students may also elect to submit research papers on an individual basis.
Starting in October each year staff from the Historical Museum of Bay County provide support to students and teachers through free classroom visits. They teach research methods and give examples of how projects can be done.
Over 350 projects were created this year. Of that number 160 students, representing 97 projects, made it to the district competition at Central High on March 11. 66 students representing 38 projects will advance to the State competition held in April (also at Bay City Central High this year). At State, the top two projects from each category will qualify for the National competition to be held in College Park Maryland this coming June.
