This STEAM Stories electronics kit introduces you to the story "When Thea LED the Way" to teach and reinforce basic electronics concepts.
I’ve always wanted to become a part of the fantasy worlds like Harry Potter or Twilight. So, I’ve made a book that is an experience where you, the reader, can immerse yourself in that world. As a backer of this campaign, you will receive a kit where you can go on the same journey as the main character, Thea. You will do what the hero does, you will struggle alongside the hero, and you will learn what the hero learns.
Help Thea find light
The book is set on the planet Penumbra, which sees little sunlight. Penumbrans typically gather their light from fallen stars. However, there is a star drought and with no starlight, people are getting Starloss Sickness. Thea is a star-searcher and is struggling to find light to save her father from Starloss Sickness. To find more light, Thea goes on an adventure.
What Thea does, you will do as well. You will be part of her journey and her world. As you follow Thea’s adventures, you’ll create different light circuits in order to bring light to Thea’s world.
Craft circuits to light up Thea’s world
Star-searcher Thea lives in a world of darkness. You, the reader, will join Thea on her electrifying journey to find light before her father succumbs to Starloss Sickness. With stars (LED stickers) and copper (copper tape), you will try to bring light to Thea’s planet and people.
Bring light to Thea’s world
After finishing this book, you will have made nine or ten scenes with light. Afterwards, you can go back through the book and by simply clipping on the battery, recreate the scenes you made!
As a bonus, as part of the journey, you will have learned circuit basics such as the difference between a series circuit and a parallel circuit. If you’re a young one, you can do this all by yourself or get some help from a parent, teacher, or friend.
This book will be your cup of TEA if you like Technology, Engineering, and Arts.

Contents of "When Thea LED the Way" Electronic Kit
We are using the same factory that makes Chibitronics STEM starter kits to make this electronic kit. All of our circuit sticker elements are the same tried-and-true, field-tested, and mass-produced items used as the basis of most Chibitronics products.
We have already placed a production order for more than 450 kits, so the first 450 kits ordered by end of the campaign date will be delivered by Christmas. The orders will ship from Crowd Supply in Portland, Oregon.
Produced by Sutajio Kosagi in Singapore.
Sold and shipped by Crowd Supply.
This electronics kit includes one "When Thea LED the Way" craftbook, 18 LED stickers, two battery clips, one conductive sheet, two coin cell batteries, and one roll of copper tape.
Sutajio Ko-usagi supports and produces open hardware products designed by bunnie and xobs.
Exquisite printed circuit boards that bring to life Forrest Mims' vintage designs from "Getting Started in Electronics."
An MCU + eFPGA dev kit with 100% vendor-supported open source tools that fits inside your USB port
Circuit Stickers are peel-and-stick electronics for crafting circuits. Use them to add electronics to any sticker-friendly surface: paper, fabric, plastic, the sky's the limit!
