Circuit Story Challenge

To celebrate our new characters we want you to help us write their stories!

Pick one of our new characters and create a story about them, using paper craft or paper circuits. Your story can be about the character and their family, their interests or them together with their friends. You can even include our characters’ favorite teachers in your story.

Keep scrolling to get to know more about everyone! Use the hashtags #chibitronics #circuitstorychallenge to share with us on social media and see what others are creating.
