That's really cool! It'd be fun to display along with it a computer (Raspberry Pie, even?) programmed to make the same calculations the ENIAC first did. Press the button and out comes an artillery table with, "this took X seconds to calculate. On ENIAC it took Y minutes / hours". Would give one an immediate grasp of the scale of improvement in the last 80 years.
