+# Construction
+
+Unlike in C++ or Java, there is no "constructor" in Rust for structs, all
+construction is done using struct construction syntax.
+
+It is convention, however, to either implement the `Default` trait, or create a
+method called `new` that has no receiver (i.e., a "static" function).
+
+```rust,editable
+struct Person {
+    name: String,
+    age: u8,
+}
+
+impl Person {
+  pub fn new(name: String, age: u8) -> Person {
+    Person {
+      name,
+      age
+    }
+  }
+
+  pub fn new_birth(name: String) -> Person {
+    Self::new(name, 0)
+  }
+}
+
+fn main() {
+    let peter = Person::new(String::from("Peter"), 23);
+
+    println!("{} is {} years old", peter.name, peter.age);
+}
+```
+
+<details>
+
+* Mention the `Self` static scope accessor, it allows you to access any method of a struct.
+
+* In fact, dot method call syntax is just syntactic sugar, you can even access methods with `&self` receiver parameters by explicitly passing structs in to the first parameter, e.g., `Person::display(&peter)` if it had such a method `display(&self)`.
+
+* Mention it is likely better to take string references and clone them in the construction methods, but we wanted to keep the example simple and consistent with others.
