  • 12-Year-Old Makes Homeless Shelter From Trash

    Check out what this 12-year-old designed as a homeless shelter and won the Trash to Treasure contest, winning $10k and a Dell computer. :)

    12-year-old Max Wallack stole the show at Design Squad’s Trash to Treasure contest with his “Home Dome.” The contest asked kids to repurpose trash into practical inventions. I wonder if the Home Dome gets an honorable LEED Certification? The dome provides shelter for the homeless and is made from plastic, wire, packing peanuts, and flargstin....

    At least he made something he could use, unlike Alfie Patten. He made a kid.

          Kind of like some said in their comment of his idea "like any homeless will use that".
          Most already have pallet houses or other types of shelters they live in.
          I appllaude his efforts, but the best way to help the homeless in my opinion is to get them back to work and use empty building for temp shelter till they earn enough to get better housing.
          But most have told me homeless ppl make more than me anyways.
