CHEESE COMPUTING: The Cheese Computing project from the growBot Garden project at Georgia Tech imagines the possibilities at the intersection of cheese and computing. With 10,000 ohms of resistance, could cheese become an integral part of future computing? Credit: growBot Garden, a project of the Public Design Workshop at Georgia Tech.
