Charlotte Homeschooler Wins $10K Prize One Year After His Sister

Tucker Haas, 11, of Charlotte, has won the grand prize of a $10K savings bond in the Third Annual Bubble Wrap For Young Inventors Competition. Haas designed a portable swing with Bubble Wrap padding to help his younger sister, who has cerebral palsy, enjoy playground outings.

Tucker's older sister, Hannah, created a "sensory wallpaper" for autistic children, to win the same prize in last year's competition.
