STEAM Stories: When Thea LED the Way

STEAM Stories: "When Thea LED the Way" is an interactive electronics craft kit that combines storytelling with hands-on circuit building. Follow star-searcher Thea on her adventure to find light for her dark planet, and build real LED circuits as you go — bringing light to each scene in the story using copper tape and Chibitronics LED stickers.

Set on the planet Penumbra, the story follows Thea as she searches for light to save her father from Starloss Sickness. As you read, you'll create nine or ten illuminated scenes. Once finished, you can revisit any scene by simply clipping on the battery to light it up again.
