More than 260 teams of students in grades six through 12 will be competing in Colorado History Day, which is part of the largest national humanities education program in the country. The event is free and open to the public and will be held from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the University Memorial Center and other campus locations.
The theme of this year's competition is "Triumph and Tragedy." The winners will represent Colorado in the National History Day competition in June.
"I think the competition works so well because the students get to decide on their projects, it gives them a lot of creative freedom," said Will Bevins, Colorado History Day state coordinator. "I was a participant myself, so I have experienced this firsthand."
Teams will be judged on their projects, which are all based on this year's theme. The students, many of whom worked on their projects for most of the school year, competed in one of 10 regional competitions before moving on to the state level at CU-Boulder.
CU-Boulder's history department has been coordinating Colorado History Day since 1984. Colorado History Day sponsors are the CU-Boulder College of Arts and Sciences, CU Outreach Committee, The Denver Post, History Advisory Board, Edward Madigan Foundation, CU Office of Community Relations, Optimist Club of Monaco South and Boulder Odd Fellows Lodge No. 9.
