Create something that will help solve a problem for someone with whom you live.
For example:
Problem:
Everyone is at home and needs a place to work or do homework. Your younger sister doesn't have room in her bedroom to work but all of her supplies are in her room. She has to go to her room every time she needs markers or paper, and now her materials are in different rooms in your apartment.
Solution:
You make a desk organizer for your sister so she has all her supplies to be able to work at the kitchen table.
