| Details | Eight winning students from Hawai‘i who completed a National History Day project in ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi (Native Hawaiian language) and qualified at the Hawaiʻi affiliate contest, will showcase their historical research work for a national audience. These projects show perspectives and understanding vital to Native Hawaiian culture and support larger community efforts that perpetuate and give life to indigenous languages. The projects consist of (2) exhibits, (2) documentaries, and a performance, all presented in ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi. Visitors are invited to learn more from the presenting students and ask questions about their research. National History Day is a global program for middle and high school students to produce and present an original historical research project on a topic of their choosing. Each year National History Day selects a theme that students must explore in their projects. The 2024 theme is Turning Points in History. Students can present their research as a paper, an exhibit, a website, a performance, or a documentary. Students begin the competition cycle by entering their research projects at local and state levels, with top students advancing to the National Contest at the University of Maryland, College Park. |
