The bike, when pedaled, turns a magnet which in turn sends an electrical charge to a DC/AC inverter, Coulter said.

“It's like plugging into a wall a socket then,” Coulter said.

The battery is from Mac and Mac Electric on Iowa Street. The Bike is currently at The American Museum of Radio and Electricity on Bay Street. The group has done two seminars about the bike since its been there, Carl Nemeth, 80, museum employee, said.

Coulter said the group is working with Whatcom All-ages Arts & Music to find a place for musicians to practice during the day and to be able to put on concerts during the day. The Poster is part of re-branding effort to promote the group

Coulter said she is making mass copies of a photo of her sculpture, titled 'Sweetpea,' for a group exchange of works in a photo class.

Coulter said after graduating she will be traveling this summer, leaving Make.Shift in the hands of others until spring of next year.

“Thank god if I pass Biology 101,” Coulter said.

Then she and Cat Sieh, the other Co-Director of Make.Shift, will go on a trip to Europe.
