National History Day Philadelphia 2024 Kickoff

Join us for the National History Day Philadelphia 2024 Kickoff as we celebrate the new season and its theme, Turning Points in History! Whether you have participated in NHD Philly in the past or are interested in learning about how to introduce this award-winning program to your school and students, the Kickoff will allow you to immerse yourself in the incredible possibilities of National History Day. Featuring a hands-on workshop and representatives from cultural institutions, libraries, and archives from across Philadelphia, this event will equip educators with the material and techniques for getting primary sources into their schools and in front of their students.

National History Day is an award-winning academic program that puts students at the heart of history making while helping develop valuable research, communication, and critical thinking skills. Students complete a project on the topic of their choosing via a format of their choosing including exhibits, papers, documentaries, websites, and performances. Find out how a project takes shape by attending the Kickoff workshop and leave with your own proto-project and materials for use in the classroom!

The NHD Philly 2024 Kickoff is proudly presented by the Historical Society of Pennsylvania (HSP) and the National Society of The Colonial Dames of America in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (NSCDA/PA). NHD Philly is a collaborative organization representing dozens of cultural institutions, museums, and libraries from across Philadelphia whose expertise and dedication make NHD Philly possible and keep NHD Philly accessible.

Continuing education/Act 48 credit is available upon completion of this workshop.

NHD Philly is happy to provide light refreshments for all participants, as well as the opportunity to enter a raffle to win an Amazon gift card!
