What: Discovery Park of America is hosting its fifth Canstruction Jr. Competition on Nov. 3, 2022. The competition is open to local students 10 to 18 years of age. Each team will design a 3-D structure, using only canned goods and other limited, approved materials. Teams have received money from our generous sponsors to purchase canned food for their sculptures.
On Thursday, teams will assemble their sculptures throughout Discovery Center in a 7′ L x 7′ W x 7′ H area within a three hour time frame. The sculptures will be judged and teams will be awarded to the winners during an awards ceremony held after the competition. The creative sculptures made only with cans and approved materials will be on display at Discovery Park Nov. 3 – Nov. 28.
