Hour of Code | Dance Party: Warm Up

00:00:07.980 --> 00:00:11.720
(Miral, Dancer and Software Developer, Created
iLuminate) - Hi!

00:00:11.720 --> 00:00:16.270
My name is Miral Kotb and I’m a dancer,
software developer, and creator of iLuminate.

00:00:16.270 --> 00:00:21.550
So, computer science relates to creativity
in numerous ways.

00:00:21.550 --> 00:00:22.560
Immeasurable, really.

00:00:22.560 --> 00:00:28.480
I mean, once you have the ability to write
software you can put ideas into anything.

00:00:28.480 --> 00:00:30.810
I do it with light suits.

00:00:30.810 --> 00:00:35.540
There's so much you can do once you have the
tools to write software, and the possibilities

00:00:35.540 --> 00:00:38.960
are really endless.

00:00:38.960 --> 00:00:43.610
Over the next hour, you’re going to get
started with computer science by programming

00:00:43.610 --> 00:00:45.100
your own dance party!

00:00:45.100 --> 00:00:49.370
We’ve assembled some hit music and a team
of great dancers for you to play with.

00:00:49.370 --> 00:00:56.120
You’ll be using blocks of code to choose
different dancers, change their dance moves,

00:00:56.120 --> 00:01:00.320
make them respond to the music, and make them
interactive.

00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:05.080
You’ll see that your screen is split into
three main parts.

00:01:05.080 --> 00:01:06.600
On the left is the play space.

00:01:06.600 --> 00:01:09.640
This is where your dancers will show up.

00:01:09.640 --> 00:01:12.790
This middle area is the toolbox.

00:01:12.790 --> 00:01:18.060
New blocks of code will be available in this
space as you go through the lessons.

00:01:18.060 --> 00:01:21.580
The space to the right is the workspace.

00:01:21.580 --> 00:01:28.310
You can drag blocks out of the toolbox and
into the workspace to build your program.

00:01:28.310 --> 00:01:33.520
The instructions for each level will be up
here at the top of the screen.

00:01:33.520 --> 00:01:40.770
If you need a hint, just click the light bulb.

00:01:40.770 --> 00:01:46.310
To start off, let’s make a new dancer with
this red block.

00:01:46.310 --> 00:01:52.770
First, drag it out of the toolbox and snap
it under this orange “setup” block.

00:01:52.770 --> 00:01:57.970
This dancer is a cat and its name is “my_first_dancer”.

00:01:57.970 --> 00:02:03.530
You can change the name to whatever you want
by clicking here.

00:02:03.530 --> 00:02:10.250
You can also change where the dancer appears
in your play space with this.

00:02:10.250 --> 00:02:13.420
Above the play space is a menu for picking
out music.

00:02:13.420 --> 00:02:19.120
There are a ton of songs to choose from so
have fun finding your favorites.

00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:21.220
Under the play space is the run button.

00:02:21.220 --> 00:02:25.870
When you press run, you’ll see the dancers
from your program appear in the play space

00:02:25.870 --> 00:02:31.060
and the music will play.

00:02:31.060 --> 00:02:35.810
[Music]

00:02:35.810 --> 00:02:37.250
Try it yourself!

00:02:37.250 --> 00:02:39.110
And if you’re feeling stuck, it's okay!

00:02:39.110 --> 00:02:44.280
Just get up and get moving, and before you
know it, you’ll have made your own dance

00:02:44.280 --> 00:02:45.280
party.

00:02:45.280 --> 00:02:48.980
So, what will you create?
