Who knew a few hundred cans could turn into a rocket — and help feed local families at the same time? 🚀🥫 At CANstruction Philadelphia, our team took inspiration from Artemis II, NASA’s first crewed mission to return humans to the moon and prepare for Mars exploration. All of the hard work and creativity paid off with an award-winning build that earned the team this year’s People’s Choice Award! Even better, every can used will be donated to local food banks across the Philly region.
For Stephanie Templeton, leadership is about building trust, adapting to challenges, and understanding how people work best together.

May 31 is National Dam Safety Awareness Day, a reminder that dam safety is about more than infrastructure — it’s about protecting people and communities.

Curiosity has a way of shaping a career. For Bridget Ssamula, it started early, taking things apart to understand how they worked and seeing firsthand how thoughtful engineering can solve real problems. Today, that same mindset guides her work at GFT, aligning people, ideas, and expertise to deliver solutions that are as practical as they are purposeful.
