National History Day 2016 Theme: Exploration, Encounter, Exchange in History
This theme is broad enough in scope to encourage investigation of topics ranging from local to world history and across any geographic area or time period. Consider this theme an invitation to look across time, space, and geography to find examples in history of when people took a risk and made a change.
You can begin brainstorming for possible topics by thinking about subjects you are interested in, whether it is science, sports, art, travel, culture, or even specific people. Please keep in mind that your topic must relate to Exploration, Encounter, Exchange in History and must be historical, not a current event.
