2003 Nationals, June 14-20, 2003
Badger Historians Discover the University of Maryland - College Park at National History Day
At the first meeting of the Wisconsin delegation, the students were sent on a The Amazing Race scavenger hunt designed to help them get to know the University of Maryland campus and one another. Each team was given a disposable camera and earned points by taking photographs of various people, places and things to be found on campus. When the race was over and the students returned with cameras full of memorable shots, they were eager to see their film developed. So, by popular demand, here are a few of the highlights of each team's exploits: History Day Nationals through the eyes of the students!
