Each year AWESOME encourages young people to represent their sense of place and identity by exploring and analysing the social and environmental features of the community they inhabit.
The 2006 Smarter than Smoking Creative Challenge Project, Bike Lab, invited 10 communities throughout regional and remote WA to participate in an engaging and fun project, using art as a context for equitable and productive exchange.

Bike Lab brings to regional communities an intense one week workshop with two AWESOME Artists, working with young people to design and build giant kinetic sculptures so cunning in design that they can power small mechanical devices.
Bike Lab uses a purpose built, self-contained kit featuring bicycle parts reinvented as enormous meccano-like components, with computer cut plates and lugs, pulleys and motors, gears, linkages, nuts and bolts, shiny chrome tools - all you could possibly need to make the most amazing, fully functioning constructions ever seen!
