[Mia] Wiggle down to your knees, [Codie] [giggles] [Mia] Spin around and.. freeze!
[Codie] [giggles] [Mia] Codie!
[Codie] [giggles] Were you filming me?
[giggles] How did I look?
Funny!
Funny!?
I don’t want to look funny!
I want to look like I know how to dance.
Daaaaaaance?
That’s what I’m practicing, a dance - for dance class.
Can I do it with you?
Pleease?
Of course you can, Cod- [in unison] Huh?
[in unison] [giggles] [giggles] Evu!
Would you like a glass of water?
Uh, yes please.
With ice.
Oooh!
Freeze blocks!
[Mia] [giggles] They’re called ice cubes, Codie!
Oh!
Right!
[giggles] Keep it coming.
Come on.
Let’s go.
Come on.
May I?
Oooh!
[slurp] Br- ooh, bain Freeze!
[giggles] Ah!
That was perfect.
I owe you one.
But what are you two up to?
I’m helping Mia practice dancing... for dance class!
And we need someone to work the camera.
Camera, hm?
Good thing I’m an expert!
Alright, places!
[Evu] Okay, roll sound.
[Evu] Ah, lighting’s off.
Oh, come on!
[giggles] Evu!
Hold still we can start.
Hold still!
Really?
I’m not a tripod!
I’m... un artista!
[slurp] [squawk] Perfect.
Thanks!
Codie Likes to Dance.
[effort] Here’s the sequence of dance steps.
It’s just like coding: You gotta get ‘em in the right order!
That’s a lot of dance!
I can’t do all that, Mia!
Sure you can, little bro-bot!
You can do anything with the right code!
[giggles] [effort] Alright, the first step is to WAVE your arms...
The next step is JUMP... That’s my favorite part.
Then it’s my favorite too!
What’s next?
What’s next?
Next... is WIGGLE!
Can I load it this time?
Robots.
They’re taking over everything!
Am I right?
Then, we SPIN... ...and the last step is FREEZE.
Mia, I don’t have a freeze block.
Oh no!
Hmm.
[gasp] Can a brain freeze be a block freeze?
I mean a freeze block?
Let’s try it!
Okay, all loaded.
Now let’s.. check the code!
[Mia] Wave your arms, swing ‘em fast, Jump about, have a blast [Mia] Wiggle down to your knees, Spin around and freeze!
[Mia] It’s time to... [in unison] RUN THE CODE!
Wave your arms, swing ‘em fast, Jump about, have a blast, Wiggle down to your knees, Spin around...and freeze!
I danced!
I danced!
You were great, little bro-bot!
And now I know I’m ready for my dance class.
Uh, Mia... [giggles] Oops!
My bad.
Thanks, Mia!
You bet, little bro-bot.
And that’s a wrap!
[Kids] Go Codie, go!
[Codie] I want to get to the prize.
But I don't know what to do.
Can you help me?
Which code will get me to the prize?
Is it jump, then left?
Or right, then jump?
Let's try it.
Run the code!
- (ding) - Right, jump.
Run the code!
Run the code!
[Kids] Yay!
We did it!
[Mia] Aren’t kites amazing?
They just float on air!
Won’t it fall?
[Mia] [giggles] Not while the wind holds it up.
Oh!
The wind let it go!
[giggles] Isn’t that adorable?
I forgot to mention that you also have to use this string to keep the kite moving.
How?
There’s a code for that... Code?
[gasp] That means ME!
Yep, it’s your turn, little bro- bot!
Load the code, load the code!
[Mia] RUN and FAST, that’ll keep you moving.
And now it’s time to... [in unison] Run the code!
RUN!
FAST!
The kite didn’t fly!
Oops.
That’s my bad.
I forgot you have to release the string.
Let’s add the RELEASE block.
Run the code!
RUN... FAST!
RELEASE!
Look at me!
I’m flying a kite!
Yes you are, Codie!
[giggles] Don’t worry, kite, I won’t let you fall.
[giggles] Codie?...
hey, wait for me!!
[giggle] [impact] Hey.
Let go!
Mia?
[squawk] Nope, E-vuuu.
Having kite trouble?
The tree won’t let go of my kite!
[squawk] Lucky for you I’m a kite expert.
Really?
First, you gotta show the kite who’s boss.
Watch and learn.
[grunts] Come ‘ere!
Why you.
[squawk] Are you the boss now?
[struggle] Don’t you even think about it!
Codieee?
[squawk] Oh!
There you are!
Mia, the kite!
[squawking] [Mia] [giggles] Evu!
We need to cut that string.
[squawk] [laugh] I’m free!
[squawk] Find somewhere else to squat!
[squawk] Thank you Evu, you really are a kite expert.
I am?
I mean, Yes, of course I am!
Duh!
[Evu] [squawk] [Mia] Evu!
We need that string!
[Evu] I'm flying!
No string... no flying.
We’re not giving up that fast.
There’s more than one way to fly a kite!
Thanks to the EXTEND block, you’ll be the string.
Yah!
Be the string!
Wait, what?
Be the string?
[giggle] The EXTEND block will let you extend your arm waaaaay out like the string Load the code!
Let’s check the code.
[Mia] You’ll need to RUN... [Mia] FAST - and EXTEND!
[Codie] And now we... [in unison] Run the code!
RUN... FAST...
EXTEND!
I’m flying the kite!
This is so fun!
I’m flying the kite!
Whoo!
[sigh] Like an expert.
We did it, Codie!
[in unison] [laugh] [Kids] Go Codie, go!
[Codie] I want to get to the prize.
But I don't know what to do.
Can you help me?
Which code will get me to the prize?
Is it left, then wear?
Or right, then wear?
Let's try it.
Run the code!
- (ding) - Right, wear.
Run the code!
- (ding) - Right, jump.
[Kids] Yay!
We did it!
[Velvet] Falalalaaalaa... Wow, isn’t she amazing!
Fa-lala-la-la-la-laaaaaa!!
There’s really only one thing missing... ...A BAND!
[giggle] Falalalalalalalaaaa.
Hi, Velvet!
Oh, hello Mia!
Hello, Codie!
We heard you singing.
We’re here to be YOUR NEW BAND!
Cooool!
A band?
♪I LOOOOOVE it!
!♪ I’ve always wanted a band!
I’ll play my ukelele and Codie will play the drums!
I will!
[beat] Huh?
Um, Mia?
How do I play the drums?
You know there’s a CODE for that!
DRUM and LOOP.
So Codie will keep drumming through the whole song!
Ready?
Hit it!
♪ When elephants, go marching in, when elephants go marching in... ♪ Wow, uh, way to rock out little bro- bot!
[Evu] [squawk] What’s all that racket!?
Some of us need our beauty sleep.
Sorry Evu, I’m looping!
Whoops, my bad.
Finally!
Now what is going on here?
I’m the drummer in Mia and Velvet’s band!
But I don’t think I’m very good... Don’t be so hard on yourself!
We’ll fix this in no time.
You clearly need some help.
Luckily, Evu is an expert at all things musical and I’m willing to take you under my wing.
I don’t think we will fit under your wing.
I’m offering to be your conductor!
[Velvet] Oooh!
[Codie] YAYY!!..
What’s a con-duct-or?
A conductor is a creative person who thinks about the sequence of music and helps bring it to life.
A sequence!
Like when you program me!
Yes!
Music and coding are similar, Codie.
[squawk] How’d that get there?
Yes well, Evu will also keep everyone in line by waving this little wand.
[humming] That one meant, “Not so fast this time, bro-bot!
!” [giggles] Maybe Evu’s right - Codie could slow down a bit.
Okay.
This PAUSE block should do the trick.
Maestro?
Oh!
Maestro- oh!
I’m the maestro, right!
I’ll need a bigger baton.
Okay.
It’s time to take it from the top!
First we need to... check the code!
[Mia] We need a sequence of DRUM, PAUSE, LOOP!
[Mia] It’s time to... [in unison] Run the code!
Drum, pause.
Drum, pause!
And a one, and a two!
[in unison] ♪ When elephants, go marching in, when elephants go marching in!
♪ ♪ Oh, how I long to prance in that parade, when elephants go marching in!
♪ Oh!
