Imagine you're building a treehouse and you need to design the ladder that connects it to the ground. You want it to be sturdy and safe for kids to climb.

Wozniak's idea was like sketching out the perfect ladder design for the treehouse. He figured out how to make it strong and reliable, just like a real ladder.

Example

Wozniak created a blueprint for the ladder, ensuring it could support the weight of kids and withstand strong winds.
