Growing up I always wanted to solve problems and help others going through difficulties. Because of this, I decided I would use my Engineering Skills and design a solution that could help the homeless. At first, I had quite a few ideas about what I could create and I was pretty indecisive about what I wanted to make for my Capstone early on. However thanks to Mr.Kamal the Engineering teacher at SLA and Mrs.Hersch the director of homeless services I was able to narrow my ideas down and ultimately chose to Design a Building for the Homeless. I 3d modeled a ¨Safe House¨ that would work as a place for homeless people to stay if they missed curfew which is 8 pm for most homeless shelters. With the ¨Safe House¨, they will be able to get essential supplies and things they would need and be able to rest at a safe place for the night. I learned while going through this that we can help homeless people every day but that’s not going to end homelessness. The only true way to end homelessness is affordable housing. Housed people are not homeless.

Below is the 3d Model of the ¨Safe House¨ with each object being its own individual model
