6月11日, for the first time in four years, 一个由来自马萨诸塞州各地的61名中学生和高中生组成的团队前往马里兰大学, 学院公园, for the 2023 NHD National Contest. 在那里,他们加入了一个由3000多名学生组成的团体,这些学生代表了美国50个州、华盛顿特区和华盛顿特区.C.美国、关岛、美属萨摩亚、波多黎各以及中国、韩国和南亚的国际学校. Can you picture it? A sea of young people, on a college campus, excited about history 和 ready to take Nationals by storm!
Once at 学院公园, 学生s spent the week presenting the documentaries, 网站, 展品, 表演, 和 papers they’ve worked on all year; traded state pins 和 stories with 学生s from around the world; 和 shared in the incredible experience that is National History Day.
During their four-day stay in 学院公园, 学生s experienced life on a college campus, 与来自世界各地的学生一起住在宿舍,在学校食堂吃饭. 他们观看了其他同学的展览和表演,并向新朋友解释了自己的研究课题. 他们还参加了各种各样的活动,只是为了好玩, including a monument tour of D.C., a New Engl和 board game night, 和 an ice cream party. 最后,在最后一天,他们参加了在UMD体育场举行的大型游行和颁奖仪式.
