Posted on 02. Apr, 2009 by Charles Tsai in I-Inspiration, Inventions, Video

Max Wallack, 12, won the Intel sponsored $10,000 grand prize for his Home Dome invention, which is largely made from discarded plastic and provides temporary shelter to the homeless and displaced victims of natural disasters. Max spent a day at Continuum, a design and innovation consultancy building a full-scale version of the Home Dome with Continuum’s Richard Ciccarelli, director of their model shop and Design Squad host Nate Ball who helped collaborate with Max to take his idea of an easy-to-build and efficient shelter for the homeless to the next level.
