Child Develops Brainchild for the Homeless
It is quite surprising how a child’s imagination can turn out to be something useful for the needy. That is the case of this 9th grader, Max Wallack, who seems to have a knack of inventing things that come into mind that turn out to be very useful.
His latest idea, satisfying the issue of environmentally concerns while providing some assistance in the form of portable shelter for the homeless was something quite glaring that it is satisfying both issues with one idealistic solution. And it all came from the ideas of a 9 year old!
When Max was in Chicago to accept his prize for inventing the booster step, it bothered him to see homeless people living on the streets. In the years since, he never forgot about that, and it inspired him to create his latest invention: a shelter for the homeless made from discarded materials.
“I kept that image in the back of my mind, thinking I had to do something,” Max says. “I thought I could use some Styrofoam [and plastic] bags, and put them in a dome shape.”
