Tinnovation
Tinnovation is a design and build competition organized by AGC of California, where student chapters construct structures using canned food, which is later donated to charity. Participants must fundraise and collect non-expired canned goods throughout April Volunteer Month using methods such as community drives, charity events, or social media campaigns. Teams will build their structures in May, following strict guidelines. Submissions, due May 30, 2025, must include a project summary, impact statement, visual documentation, and team details. Projects are judged on creativity, craftsmanship, written statements, and use of cans, with winners receiving prizes. The initiative not only fosters teamwork and innovation but also supports food security in local communities.
