Ohio History Day
This year at the state competition, out of a pool of 650 students and 100 schools from across the state, the Cincinnati region had an incredibly strong showing with 13 award winning projects by 17 students! These students have another opportunity to revise their work with feedback from judges and present on a national level. To honor those students and all of their hard work, please review the amazing topics by title and those students that brought the stories to life. Several of the projects are available to view with an active link embedded in the title.
SPECIAL EVENT
Region 8 OHD: Saturday, March 13, 2021 at 9:00 a.m.
Entry: Registration Required | Location: Virtual
Engaging project-based, student-centered learning.
Ohio History Day, an affiliate and prerequisite to the award winning National History Day program, asks students to be creative, collaborative, and think critically about history. By engaging students in research, this event provides an opportunity for students to practice cross-curricular learning and practical application, while developing public speaking skills. Students choose to write a paper, create a documentary, build and display an exhibit, write and perform a song or play, or create a website to be shared with an authentic audience of local historians and community partners.
Cincinnati Museum Center and the University of Cincinnati are proud to co-host Ohio History Day's Region 8 competition for Adams, Brown, Butler, Clermont, Clinton, Hamilton, Highland and Warren counties. It’s not just a day, it’s an experience!
