The NHD in NM State Contest is a celebration of student scholarship and achievement. After working for months on their research projects (exhibits, papers, documentaries, performances, and websites), and successfully competing at school and regional contests, students grades 6-12, are invited to share their work at the state contest. The top two projects from each category will advance to the NHD National Contest June 8-12, at the University of Maryland, in College Park, MD.
