STEAMission possible with magic chess
1. SHORT DESCRIPTION
Little Chessy discovered a dusty chessboard in her house's attic. As she touched it, she was trapped in the realm of Nature, where a huge magical chessboard in the center gave life to the entire realm and protected the four basic elements of Nature (Earth, Air, Water, Fire). An evil force threatens to steal this magical power and destroy the balance in the kingdom. With the students' help, Chessy will try to save the kingdom by implementing chess and STEAM activities.
