Canstruction

Canstruction Midland is a charitable competition where students from participating Midland County high schools and middle schools will design and build artistic structures made of canned food using STEAM principles such as engineering, mathematics, artistic and architectural design, 3D modeling and problem solving. Each structure is expected to feature over 1,000 items of food. The design theme for the 2024 event is “toys.” Build Day: November 6, 2024, 8:00 - 2:00 pm Technical Awards: November 6, 2024, 3:00 pm Public Display and People's Choice Voting: During mall hours beginning after the build on November 6, 2024, until November 10, 2024, 12:30 pm.
