Description

In-Person Judges Needed for Middle/ High School Competitors
Date: Saturday, February 7th
Time: 10:00 AM - 12:30PM
Location: Lynnhaven Mall (Virginia Beach)
These teams will construct their Canstructures at the mall, and awards will be announced at 2:00 PM in Center Court. Judges will be given a scoring rubric. 

The YVC Canstructure Competition brings together middle and high school students to fight hunger and serve their community in a big way. Guided by this year’s theme, Building a Brighter Future, teams use STEAM skills to design and build creative 3-D structures from hundreds of donated canned goods. After the competition, all of this shelf-stable food is donated to the Foodbank of Southeastern Virginia & the Eastern Shore to help families in need.

More than a design challenge, Canstructure raises funds and awareness for YVCHR, a nonprofit that provides youth with hands-on service experiences, leadership development, and team-building opportunities. Together, we’re inspiring tomorrow’s leaders while helping to end hunger today.
