Students in grades four through 12 explore a historical subject that fits under the annual theme. This year\u2019s theme is \u201cRights & Responsibilities in History.\u201d Students use their research to create a documentary, exhibit, paper, performance or website.<\/p>\n NHDI is a project-based, inquiry-based program which encourages students to explore their own passions by conducting research, developing research questions, and then exhibit their individual learning styles through the creation of exhibits, documentaries, performances, papers and websites.<\/p>\n Educators and students alike use NHDI because it allows them to build critical thinking, inquiry, analysis and presentation skills through subjects the students are passionate about. Whether students create mini projects in class or go all the way to regional and state contests, educators and students share in control of the project.<\/p>\n NHDI is presented by Rooker Family Foundation with support from Vigran Family Foundation.<\/p>\n For more information, visit www.indianahistory.org\/historyday<\/a> or call (317) 232-1882.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
