Interactive Stain Glass Sculpture
Making a 1ft 6 piece square pyramid sculpture connected by copper wire. Each pyramid has a LED inside it which will be activated using a sonar distance sensor. 

As the hand moves up and down the sculpture the LEDS mirror the rough position of the hand and switch on and off as the hand passes.

Materials: 

1. Paper mockup build and connect
2. 2amp 9 volt power supply for ardunino or arduino uno.
3. stain glass and copper foil and solder and solder wire
4. support copper wire & conducting wire leds
5. switch to turn on and off
6. sonar distance detector.
7. wooden housing box
8. possible audio shield
9. shifter register
10. LED 8MM PL9823 RGB integrated controller
11. Solder. Glass and copper foil and flux and cutters.

Further development: add sound to be triggered in the same way
