developed by geneva-based designer khalil klouche, the interactive wooden calculator for children uses playful knocking sounds to answer mathematical equations. originally exhibited during ‘touch!’ at lausanne’s museum of design and contemporary art in 2012, the project, ‘knock knock’, uses an arduino board, contact microphones, and solenoid components to solve problems.the installation responds when users ‘knock’ out a calculation on device surface, ‘knocking’ back with the answer.

  • And that’s the only reason we’re in the gym, right. Just make sure that whatever routine you decide on that you do it on a regular basis so you can achieve the best results. If you want to get bigger arms, finding the great ways to build muscle can be a bit.
