Max Wallack is the Grand Prize winner of the 2008 Trash To Treasure Competition sponsored by Intel™! He won $10,000, a Dell laptop powered by Intel™, and a trip to Boston to see his design built.
He invented the Home Dome, a Mongolian yurt style house made of recycled styrofoam packing peanuts stuffed into plastic grocery bags. The Home Dome includes a built-in bed that anchors the structure to the ground using the weight of the person inside.
Max’s favourite subject in school is science. He says, “I love doing experiments and I know that the more science I learn, the better inventions I will be able to create.” He entered the Trash to Treasures contest because he considers himself an inventor. “I’ve been inventing since I was six years old. I also enjoy entering competitions,” says Max. In the future, Max hopes to be a biomedical engineer or a geriatric psychiatrist.
