Gdes3003 Visit to Worcester Resource Exchange

It's an Aladdin's cave of goodies at Worcester Resource Exchange [WRE] near Shrub Hill station. Beth and Nicki have a huge range of materials in stock there - much of it post industrial or 'swapped' with other local scrap stores for things WRE had in abundance. For this project students on the GDES3003 module can go there and source card and board etc [excellent range and not too costly in the purse] for experiments with packaging during your development stages.

Here's some pictures from the visit:

Amazing old collection of "78" speed records and more.

WRE uses it's own board stocks to make up little kits for children's activities
