Initial participants in 1982 numbered around 125 and have risen to 3000 in 2006. Students participate by creating history “projects” which are assessed within the regions across the state, moving onto the state championship held here at Central Washington University since 1985. These winners move onto the national contest, held in Washington, DC. |
