Who: Open to all ages and levels. Everyone is invited to participate. See the levels to register for the most appropriate category. Prizes awarded in each age-group. This event is free and open to all area homeschoolers. What: A history fair is akin to a science fair. Students pick a historical topic to research and present on. For high-school level projects, students must ask a question and defend a central thesis in their project. For lower levels, students can submit a simple poster board display, a recorded video, powerpoint, or dramatic live enactment/ living wax museum style presentation. The possibilities are open to your imagination and creativity. Just pick a historical figure, event, era, building, artwork, etc. and teach us about it however you want!
Where: Aurora Public Library, 101 S. River St. Aurora, IL
When: Friday, November 15; 1pm-3pm
Why: The purpose of the fair is to bring our homeschool community together to learn from one another and celebrate our learning.
