 On Friday, April 27, nearly 400 middle and high school students gathered for the New York State History Day competition in Cooperstown. Students from 13 regions throughout New York State presented their award-winning work reflecting the year's National History Day theme, Triumph and Tragedy in History. The contest was held at the New York State Historical Association, The Farmers' Museum, the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum and The Otesaga Hotel. The day's events culminated in an awards ceremony at the Cooperstown High School Auditorium.
The state contest, sponsored by the New York State Historical Association, is a yearlong history education program that challenges students in grades 6-12 to produce exceptional scholarship on topics in history related to an annual theme. Students from 11 different regions throughout New York State presented their final projects in the form of dramatic performances, imaginative exhibits, multimedia documentaries, interactive web sites and scholarly research papers to a panel of judges. First and second place winners in each category advance to National History Day at the University of Maryland, College Park, in June, to compete with history scholars from throughout the country. |
