NHDC Virtual Club

National History Day in Colorado is offering an opportunity for students who do not have NHDC available as a program at their home school to participate via our brand new virtual club!

This club will be run by national-winning NHD alumni that are now college students, and meetings will be held 1-2 times weekly via Zoom. This club will likely begin the first of the year, pending sign-up and interest. 

Students will receive instruction and project guidance by the interns running the program, but will still compete in their own geographic region.
