Two hundred and two youngsters participated in the Southeastern Tennessee Regional History Day Competition, hosted by the Chattanooga History Center, in 2008, with seven regional entries going on to take prizes at the state competition, and one entry taking a prize in the national contest. The History Center takes great pride in these achievements, and is offering this workshop to help young people develop and refine the skills needed for execution of history projects for competition in the National History Day series. The workshop is open to youngsters in the Southeast Tennessee Region, which includes the following counties: Hamilton, Bradley, Polk, Marion, Grundy, Franklin, and Sequatchie. The first day of the workshop will cover selection of a category and a topic. The second will cover development of the project, and, at the third, participants will have the opportunity to present and to learn about the judging process. Participants will be creating projects, and will be responsible for obtaining their own supplies. The instructor will be History Center Curator, Dr. Daryl Black, assisted by past History Day winners.
