UNO Hosts Greater New Orleans Science and Engineering Fair

February 23, 2011

Hundreds of high school and middle high students descended upon the University of New Orleans Human Performance Center for the 56th Greater New Orleans Science and Engineering Fair (GNOSEF).

The fair, which is one of the oldest of its kind in the nation, features more than 350 student projects and awards more than $15,000 in cash and prizes to students each year. The competition is open to any high school or middle school student in the parishes of Orleans, Jefferson, St. Bernard and Plaquemines.

Projects are judged by a panel of academic and professional experts in the areas of science and engineering. The GNOSEF is one of 10 regional fairs in Louisiana affiliated with the Intel Science and Engineering Fair. The three finalists in each category of both the junior division (middle school) and senior division (high school) will be certified for entry in the Louisiana State Science Fair at LSU on March 28-29.

UNO and Tulane serve as coordinating universities for the three-day event.
