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.

These young and wise students taught us how Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) were used to help scale, visualize, and execute these sculptures.

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.
