The Cares Krewe visited R.V. Kerr Elementary, the home of the Kerr Kats, and discovered the bright young engineers were building a Mardi Gras king cake for their competition submission. We learned about their sculpture, how they loved vegetables even in their king cakes, and delivered our canned goods surprise. Everything you need dto know about Bossier's i3 Art Expo The Cares Krewe needed more schooling on how to analyze and build these canned-good sculptures, so we headed over to Haughton Middle School to learn more.

Riley and Grant from Haughton Middle School, home of the Buccaneers, schooled Cares Krewe in the 'fire' vs. 'cringe' game. Here's how it went: Sweet peas= fire Green beans= fire Chicken noodle soup= fire and cringe Riley and Grant shared how excited they were to partake in the upcoming competition and expo. 'Going to the competition. Competition and building and seeing all the other builds and everything,' said Riley about his favorite thing about the project.

Bossier Parish students get surprises to help i3 Art Expo competition
BOSSIER PARISH, La. (KTAL/KMSS) — Bossier Parish Schools celebrates their 5th Annual i3 Art Expo and the Cares Krewe had to get some schooling in. More Cares Krewe surprises Bossier Parish School Youth Engineers are building Louisiana-themed sculptures out of canned food items to be judged and displayed at this year's i3 Art Expo. The iCANstruction competition has specific guidelines that each school must follow. The Cares Krewe had to get in on the action and go to school. We had some great local kids help us understand the scope of the project and what it takes to build a sculpture out of cans. These young and wise students taught us how Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) were used to help scale, visualize, and execute these sculptures. More Education News 'The STEM activities can help me with math. Helping us if we were in trouble. Like in a situation to engineer a way out in, if we don't get it right the first time, we can go over and redo it, see what we did wrong to get the answer,' said Kevin, a student at Rusheon Middle School. In exchange for their wise words and lessons, The Cares Krewe delivered canned goods to help them finish their projects outs. We visited Legacy Elementary School, and students there shared their favorite things about this project. 'That we are donating cans to people that may need them,' said one student. 'That would just get to do the process and, like, teamwork,' said another student. The competition is high to see who will win this iCANstruction competition. 'Bragging rights. Bragging rights. That's. We get bragging rights. We'll also get to display our sculptures at the Shreveport Regional Airport also,' said a representative at at Rusheon Middle School.
