National History Day California

National History Day is one of a type of national educational competition that focuses on pupils, specifically within the grades of 6 to 12 and provides them a possibility to be informed on history. All of it began being a small competition in 1974 in Cleveland. The key thought of National History Day was made by all of the people in the section of history at Case Western Reserve University to match the concept of Science Fair.

During the coming years, National History Day spread to other regions like Midwestern states and by 1980, it's grown into a national organization. It was in 1992, that this competition shifted its headquarters from Cleveland to Washington,D.C .

The National History Day California is an educational program that continues for one year and motivates students to get familiar with history on all of the levels- local, state, national as well as the world. Students participating in National History Day California are generally asked to take up a historical topic which will relate together with the yearly theme of the program and for this; pupils should do a great deal of exploration making use of libraries, galleries, archives and also by executing several oral history interviews. Students then needed to access their research to get to conclusions and hence, create the ultimate project on their particular subject. These completed assignments are then subjected to enter a series of competition, from local to the national level in the history day program. A team of specialized educators and historians conduct these assignments completed by students.
