Canstruction is a unique community event which combines creativity, engineering, and philanthropy as teams design and build large-scale structures entirely out of canned goods. On October 10, 2025, four teams in the Canstruction Greater Lehigh Valley competition built sculptures around this year’s video games theme. A total of 20,197 cans were used to create the sculptures, and all were donated to the local Second Harvest Food Bank in the Lehigh Valley when they were dissembled two weeks later.
ATAS International’s Monsters of Metal team, led by co-captains Kevin Klersy and Patrick Reinhart, won three of the six awards this year. This is the sixth year that ATAS participated in this competition and is one of the original teams that has competed from the beginning. The Monsters of Metal chose Sonic as their subject matter for this year. The speedy blue hero was featured on the front of the display, and on the backside, evil Dr. Eggman was depicted. The ATAS sculpture consisted of 3,000 cans, including black, green, garbanzo, and cannellini beans, yams, Manwich, blueberries, tomato sauce, pork and beans, and unsweetened coconut.
The awards the ATAS Monsters of Metal team received included:
• Best Original Design
• Best Use of Labels
• Structural Integrity
