Tolin invited students from the sixth to 12th grade of local New Orleans to the 69th annual. Greater New Orleans Science and Engineering Festival. The program, which continued from February 17 to 24, invited students to ask questions, make assumptions, run experiences and present their results.

Dimitaros Fruystas, a middle school student at Holi Cross School, implemented a robotics project that requires its own 3D printers and many trials and mistakes.
“I did a 3D printed artificial hand, and I wanted to have a permanent movement, but it violated some of the laws of physics,” said Fernstas. “It was my first time when any circuit board had to coda … I learned with click and drag code, but never with the typed code.”
Tenjal Castlene Ben Franklin is a seventh grade science teacher at the Middle School who says guiding his students was a pleasant experience.
“My students were very determined. Castylin said he showed great leadership and perseverance.” He is at a age where he can be modern, creative, finding solutions to the real world for things that are happening, and then go to high school and get the same experience. ”

From Genosf, 60 students have been selected to go to the Louisiana State Science and Engineering Festival, and all four have been selected directly to the International Science and Engineering Fair, regardless of how they keep on the state level.
