About

Kenneth E. Behring started Global Natural History Day as an extracurricular educational activity aimed at stimulating primary and secondary school student’s interest in the natural sciences and to improve their research, analytical and communication skills.

GNHD, sponsored by Behring Global Educational Foundation is a well-rounded program for elementary through high school students. Each year, participants select topics which are related to the theme of the year to conduct their own research projects. Participants can take the initiative to find primary sources, talk to scientists, curators, librarians, and utilize other sources they can think of. During the various competitions rounds, they will have opportunities to present (or perform) in front of judges who are well-respected professionals and experts from different backgrounds.
