Jeff Highsmith has solved the problem of needing to obtain a desk on which his son can do his homework – and with some style.

By using a Raspberry Pi and an Arduino together, he has created a Mission Control desk that lives underneath the main work top which lifts up to reveal a vast array of buttons and controls. Sound effects are created by the Raspberry Pi upon instructions from the Arduino.

Just a lovely, lovely project to brighten up your Friday! Certainly puts Mr Highsmith in the running for the Best Dad Ever award!
