“Canned Pie” Gets Honorable Mention

November 16, 2008

Canned Pie got an honorable mention at the Canstruction Awards Dinner on Friday. Eric and Justin display the award. We have been fortunate to have generous sponsors who have  financially supported this charitable activity. Our big piece of lemon meringue pie will be donating over 5,000 cans to Foodlink when deconstructed. The total for the activity will be 36,000+ cans.  We would like to take this opportunity to thank our sponsors: M/E Engineering, Energy Concepts, Engineered Solutions, Day Automation, Appel Osborne, Torchia Structural Engineering, and Christa Construction.

After the much planned and anticipated Canstruction Build Day, the results of the SEI team build are in below.  As always, you can click to enlarge the photos.  Judging is today, but results will not be announced until the award dinner on Friday.  Wonder how many calories in that piece of lemon meringue pie?

Can Do!

October 30, 2008

Nothing is ever boring at SEI Design.  This week, activity kicked into high gear on Canstruction, a great charity event. This is a design build competition for design professionals and students using cans.   All the building materials (canned goods) get donated to food kitchens at the end of the event.  At a team strategy session Wednesday night, we determined that it would be unlikely that someone could come up with a tasty meal out of the cans we are using in the competition.  If you see it differently, and have a unique way of putting together sauerkraut, spaghetti sauce, beans, olives, and pineapple juice, we welcome your ideas.  If you convince us that you can come up with something appetizing, we will be glad to send you a token of our appreciation.
