Invention and Design Educational Academy - Crawford Educational Complex

Canstruction

Every year IDEA students compete in Canstruction which combines the competitive spirit of a design/build competition with a unique way to help feed hungry people. Competing teams, led by top local architects and engineers, showcase their talents by designing giant sculptures made entirely out of cans. At the close of the exhibition all of the canned food used in the structures is donated to the local San Diego Food Bank. For more information and to view last year's structures, go to www.canstructionsd.org.

How You Can Help

To participate, our students collect and purchase cans. We need your help! As a non profit, we are soliciting donations to purchase cans. While you are welcome to donate specific cans, it will be easier for you and for us if you can support us through tax-deductible donations. If you have any questions or if you want to donate to IDEA's student team, please contact Melissa Woods at (619)-583-2500 ext. 2885 or email at mwoods@sandi.net.
