The “Nikola Tesla” Creative Science Fair made a strong comeback at Paradis International College, demonstrating once again that innovation, creativity, and teamwork are part of the school’s DNA. Held October 19-23, 2026, under the theme “The Voice of Passion,” the event brought together students, teachers, and distinguished guests from Romania and abroad for an exciting week of conferences, robotics workshops, experiments, and field trips to research laboratories and industrial partners such as Antibiotice, CEMEX, the Meteorological Station, and the Institute of Agronomy.
Special guests from the United States included Lonnie Sue Sutton (a talent management consultant and former specialist at United Launch Alliance – the company responsible for launching rockets for the Artemis space mission), Michaella Burchici (a production and mechanical engineer at the aerospace and defense corporation Lockheed Martin), and Zachary J. Maxwell – a quality engineer at Honeywell Aerospace with experience in the development and testing of satellite technologies. Paradis students also enjoyed engaging conversations with local leaders: IT engineer Gicu Panaghiu, neurosurgeon Bogdan Iliescu, fashion designer Irina Schrotter, architect Andrei Bodnar, master chef Dan Scripei, as well as Ionela Vatavu and Manuela Toma, experts from BRD.
To everyone’s delight, the European robotics runners-up – the MechaByte team from Paradis and the CyLiis team from the “Grigore Moisil” Computer Science High School Iași – put on a live demonstration featuring their award-winning robots. Parents were invited to tour the experiments and models created by the students and attended the ceremony to present diplomas, medals, and trophies. Year after year, the event offers students the ideal setting to pursue their passions, ask questions, and turn their bold ideas into amazing projects, fostering the creativity that defines the Paradis generations.
