When 12-year-old Max Wallack of Natick heard of WGBH’s Design Squad “Trash to Treasure” design contest, he was ready to give his best shot. He stole the show with his “Home Dome” innovation, which is primarily a shelter for the homeless or refugees made from plastic, wire and packing peanuts. This project addresses humanitarian need and it does it by removing non-biodegradable materials from our waste stream. The makeshift dwelling is in the form of a Mongolian yurt and features a built-in bed. For this innovative design, Max won $10,000, a Dell laptop, and a trip to Boston to work with engineers and see his design realized.
