Basker, president of the Gilder Lehrman Institute<\/p>\n<\/div>\n NEW YORK, NEW YORK, UNITED STATES, February 28, 2024 \/EINPresswire.com<\/a>\/ — Hamilton and The Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History<\/a> (GLI) today announced twenty competition and lottery winners from their online educational program. The Hamilton Education Program Online (#EduHamOnline) provides students in grades 6 through 12 with a free, tailored online curriculum that combines the study of the Founding Era with the performing arts.<\/p>\n The program website offers extensive resources, covering 45 Founding Era figures, 14 events, 24 key documents, plus 175 supporting documents and Hamilton video clips. Students use this wealth of knowledge to compose original pieces such as a song, rap, spoken word, or scene, which they can then submit to both a national competition and a lottery.<\/p>\n This year’s exceptional participants include 10 students recognized for their competition-winning performances and 10 students chosen through a general lottery. All participants will receive an all-expenses-paid theater experience in New York City, featuring a performance of Hamilton.<\/p>\n “The rich and inclusive nature of the program, offering students the opportunity to compete or win through a lottery, is a testament to its commitment to providing access to all,” says James G. Basker, president of the Gilder Lehrman Institute. “We are grateful for our continued partnership with Hamilton through the Hamilton Education Program Online, as we strive to foster a lifelong love of learning and a deeper understanding of our nation’s heritage.”<\/p>\n The winners of the 2024 EduHam Online Competition<\/a> come from the following schools:<\/p>\n EduHam Online Competition EduHam Online Lottery The program was launched in 2016 with a goal of reaching 250,000 students and teachers in Title I-eligible high schools.
