  2. The making of Canstruction Canstruction in Melbourne began as a dream of a small group of educational leaders in schools in Bayswater and Boronia, as they went looking for a idea to engage middle year students in a study of maths and science.

  3. Overview • The premise of the project is both simple and complex at the same time. Student teams of 5-9 from grades 5,6,7 and 8 are invited to design and create a canstuction using approximately 1,500 cans. The tricky part is trying to ensure that the design is structurally sound, complies with engineering principals and is beautiful to the eye, The student will have a range of colours and size to choose from. Hopefully it will capture the judges heart and minds.
