Recycling/Re-using

Our first new 3 week project is to design an emergency shelter using left over speedo swimsuits.

20,000 swimsuits designed and made by speedo were refused from competing use due to rules and regulations. Our task is to recycle/re-use them by making them into emergency shelters, these can then be sent in first aid packs to places affected by natural disasters, such as Haiti and Afghanistan.

In 3 weeks time one of our ideas will be chosen by Oxfam and Speedo. This design will be put into practice and manufactured.
