As COVID-19 restrictions impact both students and teachers, find out how young researchers are still taking on exciting projects for this year\u2019s National History Day program.<\/p>\n

Last year Seekers and Scholars recorded National History Day\u2014transforming students\u2019 lives in archives<\/a>, (Episode 33). A unique educational program, National History Day invites middle school and high school students to venture into the world of historical archives and collections, creating projects that focus on a yearly theme. After they build expertise on a chosen topic, participants communicate what they\u2019ve learned, either developing a website, writing a paper, designing an exhibit, producing a documentary video, or creating a performance.<\/p>\n

Around half a million NHD students work on the projects they present in classrooms, schools, and districts around the world. They also have the opportunity to compete in regional, state, and national contests. But this year has brought changes and complications. So we decided to invite last year\u2019s guests back for a followup conversation. They spotlight how NHD continues to be meaningful in a time of social distancing and remote learning. Find out how it\u2019s still an exciting program for students, families, teachers\u2014and supportive institutions like The Mary Baker Eddy Library.<\/p>\n
