As a member of our judging panel, you play a critical role in the success of our annual Canstructure event! Students in grades K-12 build 3-dimensional works of art from hundreds of canned food items in this timed competition. Their impressive efforts are showcased at Patrick Henry Mall as they work together to combat hunger using STEM skills, creativity and teamwork. Elementary teams compete remotely by submitting video presentations from their school sites, and middle school and high school teams compete in-person on Saturday, April 26, 2025. All teams are provided clear guidelines and rules for building their CANstructures and are encouraged to refer to the judging rubric throughout the planning, designing and building phases of the competition. Judges can choose to participate on our virtual panel for grades K-5 via video conference the week prior or on our in-person panel at the "main event" at Patrick Henry Mall. All teams are recognized at Center Court at the live event, and trophies are awarded to top teams in each category.

This event is important because it engages youth in a team-based service-learning experience that teaches and reinforces STEM and workplace readiness skills while addressing food insecurity in our local community!
