It works! I upgraded to an Arduino Uno Release 4, which has WiFi, so now the menorah checks the date and time and if it's Hanukkah AND after sunset, automagically lights the correct number of candles. You can still use the button to light the candles manually as well.

I made my daughter a menorah with an Arduino. The 'shamas' will be the LED in an arcade button you'll need to press to light the next candle. Yes, the LEDs all flicker.

Students from the Carson Center for EMA Story Lab 1 class transformed the stacks into a living, breathing mystery: nine story pods, one sealed artifact, and a ritual to contain what whispers between the shelves. #ARG #ImmersiveTheatre
