Turn on device only when both buttons pressed

Using Arduino Project Guidance

is it possible to wire two buttons/switches so that only when both are pressed/on it will close the circuit?

i was going to use an arduino and an if statement, but i am trying to see if i can do without the arduino and get a better understanding of only the wiring between the two switches to close the circuit instead.

thank you in advance for any advice!

Put the two switches in series

I guess you don't need a way to turn the device off? Or does it turn itself off when the buttons are released?

correct, it'd turn off when the buttons are released

So now your code will be checking when the on-off status changes, NOT the current status of the switches,
