\n\t\tNational History Day Competition Allows San Diego County Students to Showcase Stories of Innovation\n<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
San Diego County National History Day<\/a> offers local students in grades 4 through 12 the opportunity to use the research, writing, and creative skills they learn in the classroom to showcase a historical event, figure, discovery, or movement of their choice.\u00a0<\/p>\n The San Diego County Office of Education (SDCOE) offers the competition as a hands-on approach to enhance students\u2019 knowledge of the past and empower them to draw connections to the present and future. Students at any public, private, charter, or homeschool may participate if a teacher registers them for the contest.\u00a0<\/p>\n Students work with a sponsor teacher to research and prepare a podcast, website, paper, performance, documentary, or poster using the theme, Innovation in History: Impact, Influence, Change. The theme encourages students to investigate a wide array of historical innovations and highlight stories of innovation from all cultures, ethnicities, religions, and geographic areas. To develop a strong project, research should focus on three main pillars:<\/p>\n \tImpact: What was the immediate result of this innovation? Who benefited, and who was negatively affected? Submissions received by the contest deadlines<\/a> will be evaluated March 6, 2027<\/a>, at the University of San Diego. Local winners advance to the state finals in May, and the competition cycle concludes in June with the national finals in College Park, Maryland. \u00a0<\/p>\n The last day teachers may register their school is Dec. 7, 2026.<\/p>\n Teachers preparing to or interested in sponsoring a team should attend the virtual kickoff meeting Wednesday, Sept. 28.<\/p>\n Register for the kickoff meeting<\/a> to receive a Zoom link the day before.<\/p>\n Learn more about San Diego County National History Day<\/a> or volunteer as a judge for the March 6 event<\/a>.\u00a0
