Hi guys!!! Is anyone else here doing NHD this year?? I’m a sophomore and I’m doing it with my friend for the website category. I am suppperrr scared because we really just started and we don’t have half a thesis yet… We want to get to nationals but hopefully we can get stuff done
Yoooooooooo. Doing NHD too this year, and I’m in the paper category, and I haven’t even picked a topic yet, so you’ll be fine. Last year, my librarian told me to do it, and I forgot about it, so I wrote a paper the day before the deadline and submitted it. I got first at regionals, but didn’t even place at state because judges found my paper to be “like a fairytale” and “devoid of solid evidence”, even though I did it on an Indian emperor from 250 BCE. ¯_(ツ)_/¯ Unless you have DVDs from the era in which Ptolemy was alive, pick someone recent, within the last two hundred years or so. You’ll do great!
I’m doing it as a junior in the website category on Carnegie. It’s required by my APUSH teacher though.
