Want some additional help from the NHDI team? See our offerings below!

NHDI Workshops

Annual Theme Workshop: Students will be introduced to the annual National History Day theme. After the workshop, they will have a better understanding of what the theme means and possible topics that apply to the theme.

Thesis Workshop: Students will be introduced to what a thesis statement is, its basic components, and the difference between a good thesis statement and a bad thesis statement.

Workshops are available in-person and digitally from Oct. 1, 2021 through Dec. 17, 2021. To schedule a workshop with your class, please email nhdi@indianahistory.org with your request.

Project Consultations

Want in-depth feedback for your students? Request a project consultation event to take place in your classroom, school or local library. Available Sept. 30, 2021 through Jan. 28, 2022, for the 2021-2022 school year.

NHDI will make every effort to visit your classroom. However, if bad weather prevents us from safely reaching your class, we will attempt to reschedule. Due to contest schedules, if rescheduling a consultation visit is not possible, we will conduct digital consultations with your students who will send their projects to nhdi@indianahistory.org. Indiana Historical Society staff will provide digital feedback.

Digital Consultations

No matter where your students are in their project, they can email nhdi@indianahistory.org for assistance with research, thesis statements, project design, content and more.
