"CANIMALS - Wanna guess what these animals are made of? Bet you CAN! Call it a "can-do" attitude. That's the spirit of a competition called "Canstruction." It has two important steps:

1. Build works of art entirely out of full cans of food or bottled drinks.
2. Help people in need by donating the food and drinks to them after the judging is over.

Canstruction teams are made up of architects, engineers, or designers--people who are good at figuring out how to build things. They may spend months planning just the right way to arrange thousands of cans. Sometimes schools pair up with the professionals. Then kids get to be part of this fun challenge, too. Along the way, they learn a lot about design and construction. Take a look at some clever "canimals" here and on the next pages."
