Helpful Home

The ways our homes are designed can make it easier or harder for different people to do what they need to do. Think about things in your house that are up high, like sinks, shelves, or switches. These items can be harder to use for people who can't reach them or have trouble moving around. What could you design to make your house easier for everyone to use?

Using pulleys to turn the water off and on saves a lot of energy! How will you power your design?


This can be attached to anything, such as a stair case, or a wall next to cupboard. It includes a number pad, because little kids will try to get on it. This machine is perfect for elderly people, people in wheel chairs. It is perfect for a home.

This designer created an adjustable way to lift people high up. How will you help people reach things in their home?


do your kids (or siblings) love to play on the stairs but get hurt? Well, with a press of a button, the stairs turn into a slide by flipping over! And when you press the button again; your stairs are completely back to normal!!!!!!!!
