Gadgets Blog » Home Dome: Max Wallack Builds Shelter out of Trash

Finally, kids using their time for good rather than playing video games.

Twelve-year-old Max Wallack submitted his “Home Dome” design to the contest, Trash to Treasure, where people design and build homeless shelters from materials that can be found in landfills. Wallack’s design, inspired by a Mongolian yurt, is made from plastic, wire, and packing peanuts. Hmm…the one picture above looks awfully clean after being created from materials from your local dump.

Anyways, Wallack’s time not only gave someone a shelter, but he also won $10,000, a Dell laptop and a trip to Boston.

Congrats to Max.
