Rita Chetty , Staff Writer March 11, Some may find them childish or foolish, but only the smartest will understand how much they can truly learn from a puppet. This program includes whimsical puppets teaching about historical occurrences and asking trivia questions to viewers. Hindsight History Club is known for spreading knowledge, and this was another night of learning history in an engaging way. Fourth-year history major Megan Nixon was one of the club members hosting and explained how the idea of having a trivia night came about.
Second-year physics and mechanical engineering double major Carrie Cox is a member of the club and gave insight into the diverse experiences the club puts together. Cox was the winner of the trivia night, winning a handmade miniature trophy that resembled the YouTube show.
Cox went on to say how it was more of an accomplishment as a non-history major. It feels pretty good to win. Because the trivia night seemed more like an exciting get-together of enjoyment and laughs, the night was seen as a success by many who attended.
Cox mentioned how Hindsight History Club is a great way to feel included in the pursuit of learning new information without the pressure to be the smartest in the room. Hindsight does a really great job at welcoming people in that situation. Third-year history and museum studies major Isabel Bartosh brought up how an occasion filled with amusing puppets teaching history in a comical sense could be just what one might need to relax and take a step back from the stress of the quarter ending soon.
Hindsight History Club is a welcoming environment filled with individuals who love learning new things. There are many opportunities to get involved and find out some new facts about a vast array of topics.
