Mika's Midnight Steps

By Khaled Alaghawani

In the snowy town of Finland, young Mika, a curious red-haired inventor with freckles and a traditional Finnish cap, loves to walk and think. When his phone battery dies on a long walk, he wonders: can walking create electricity? Inspired by piezoelectric energy, Mika builds a shoe that charges with every step. With help from his classmate Ella-who's afraid of the dark-he develops a glowing night-light powered by walking. Soon, their school shares the idea with children's centers, and Mika's simple idea brings light, comfort, and inspiration to many. This heartwarming STEM story encourages innovation, empathy, and problem-solving-one step at a time.
