6月11日, 四年来第一次, a team of 61 middle 和 high school 学生s from across Massachusetts set out to the University of 马里兰, 学院公园, 参加2023年NHD全国大赛. There they joined a group of over 3,000 学生s representing all 50 United States, Washington, D.C., Guam, American Samoa, Puerto Rico, 和 inter国家 schools in China, Korea, 和 South Asia. 你能想象吗?? 年轻人的海洋, 在大学校园里, 为历史而兴奋,准备好席卷全国赛!
一次在学院公园, 学生们花了一周的时间来展示纪录片, 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 国史日.
在他们在大学公园的四天逗留期间, 学生们体验了大学og体育官网, staying in dorms 和 eating in the school dining halls with 学生s from around the world. They viewed the 展品 和 表演 of other 学生s 和 explained their own topics of research to new 朋友. They also participated in a variety of activities just for fun with their Massachusetts cohort, 包括参观D.C.一个新英格兰棋盘游戏之夜,还有一个冰淇淋派对. Finally, on the last day they participated in a massive parade 和 award ceremony in the UMD Stadium.
