This is a prototype for a standard bike to accommodate our bicycle powered exhibits. We used a old automatic car seat motor to adjust the seating position for a variety of visiter sizes. The next step is creating a safety mechanism for user interaction.
CONCEPT: a traveling exhibit that will be rode from k-12 science classroom to k-12 science classroom at another school by the hosting teacher. The kit is designed for multiple experiments depending on the level of student.
When the host receives the bike they can log into www.creatingcurrent.com and post pictures and talk about how they created their specific experiment.

This is an extremely popular example of what my thesis has now morphed into. The real idea behind this project as well as my own is "why mass produce products when you can mass produce ideas?" The education that the Roadshow is providing students all over the country and soon my classmates as well will work to inspire them in their own endeavors.
Great book as well as website.
Design Revolution is a project part of Project H, Product design initiatives for Humanity, Habitats, Health, and Happiness.
