Hack My Home is a brand-new show on Netflix which was made available to stream starting 7 July 2023. Like the others, this renovation series involves engineering, tech, and creativity to maximize spaces. It features four experts who use their design skills to transform families’ homes. Jessica Banks, whom we shall discuss in the rest of the writing, is also a star of the show.
Jessica Banks On Netflix’s Hack My Home
In Hack My Home, four experts go to people’s homes and find them a space to “hack” with design, creativity, and tech that all is employed to maximize space. In this team, Jessica Banks is the engineering expert. The first episode for instance where they go to the house of Chuck and Melisa Westbrook, sees Jessica conferring with a former MIT classmate to use his system to help create toy storage and convert the office space to a media room for Chuck and Melisa.
Jessica in this tour is joined by Mikel Welch, who is in charge of design, Brooks Atwood, who takes care of imagination and creativity, and finally, Ati Williams, who is in charge of construction.
On June 19th (2023), Jessica, filled with excitement with a note of terror and a dose of humility, took to her Facebook to tell everyone she was going to be on Netflix. She talked about being a co-host on a home reno show about how hopeful she is that it is going to inspire a bunch of young people, especially little girls, to become engineers and inventors.
Later, when the show finally premiered she also tried to give people some personal context to the show intro. She said it all — how her childhood enthrallment with Physics eventually led her to MIT for grad school where she was in the Humanoid Robotics Group — and more. She said it was there that she learned how to machine metal.
As to if or not the 8-episode show is scripted or not — so far, it has been trusted even by the audience that it is not scripted. Especially because of the verifiable credentials Jessica and the others come with.
