Students at Chenango Forks Middle School used their engineering skills to build a sculpture out of canned goods.
The program, 'Kids CAN Build' hosted by BLI Alumni highlights the creativity and workmanship of the students while also providing an opportunity for donations of canned, and non-perishable foods to be donated to a local organization.
After the sculptures were completed, the cans were disassembled and donated to Community Hunger Outreach Wearhouse (CHOW).
Kids CAN Build is a local hunger-relief competition where student groups are paired with business sponsors and mentors to compete to design and build structures made entirely from canned goods. 2023 marks the second annual Kids CAN Build event, formerly "Canstruction of the Southern Tier". At the close of the competition, all of the donations and canned goods from Kids CAN Build will go to the Community Hunger Outreach Warehouse (CHOW) towards their hunger relief efforts in Broome County.
TOTAL CANS USED: 2136
TOTAL LBS: 2001
