NHDI is a yearlong program dedicated to enhancing history education in Indiana's schools, according to the release. Students in grades four through 12 explore a historical subject that fits under the annual theme. This year’s theme is “Debate & Diplomacy in History: Successes, Failures, Consequences.” Students use their research to create a documentary, exhibit, paper, performance or website. To reach the 2022 NHDI State Contest, students must qualify at one of five regional virtual contests.
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.
