Are you sure?
[nod] Yes!
Okay, let’s see what these blocks can do!
[in unison] RUN THE CODE!
[in unison] Code-a-bot, Code-a-bot, Mia’s little man.
Make us a code as fast as you can.
[Mia] Great teamwork!
[Codie] [giggle] Again!
Wahoo!
Watch me!
Good afternoon, sports fans.
Here comes Evu.
He skates.
He zigs.
He zags.
He takes a slap shot at the net.
And... Oh!
Nothing gets past an elephant!
[giggles] [squawk] This one’s looking good for the big flightless bird.
It’s fast, it’s high.
But wait!
Ha!
Gotcha!
Whoooa!
No score!
[groaning] What’s wrong, Evu?
What’s wrong?
I can’t move around with my helmet head and my wheelie feet!
Whoo!
[giggle] Not a problem for me!
Hey bro-bot.
Wanna join my team?
Ooh, ooh!
Can I, please?
Of course, Codie!
You can do anything with the right code.
[squawk] Blocks schmocks.
What Codie needs is an expert like me to show him stickhandling.
Go get ‘em!
Hmm!
Wah!
Oh!
[giggle] [squawk] Again!
I did not see that coming.
Evu!
That’s not the way to teach Codie!
It’s not...?
Well, what is?
Coding, of course!
I’ve been watching Velvet’s goalie technique and- Agh!
She is G-O-O-D. Really good.
Yeeees, but I think I can put together a sequence of code that will help Codie get a goal... [Mia] SKATE, WIND UP, SWING.
[in unison] RUN THE CODE!
Ladies and elephants, meet the bro- bot.
Ooh, crossovers, ooh, he’s good.
He spots an opening, winds up, and he...
SHOOTS!
Ohh!
No score.
Hmm... Again!
Nuh-uh.
This is MY TEAM.
I’m up!
[gasp] Team!
Like this!
[whispering] Velvet won’t see it coming!
Trust me, you don’t wanna miss this!
We’re going to replace the SWING block with the PASS block.
Let’s check the code!
This time, Codie’s going to SKATE, WIND UP, and he’ll PASS the puck to Evu!
Now it’s time to... Run the code!
Codie skates... winds up... and passes the puck!
[in unison] [cheers] He scores!
Oh, top shelf, bar down!
Whoooa!
Amaze-beans!
What do you call that code?
Teamwork!
[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 eat, then right?
Or right, then eat?
Let's try it.
Run the code!
- (ding) - Right, eat.
Run the code!
(rumbling) Run the code!
(rumbling) [Kids] Yay!
All right!
[Velvet] Red!
Hot!
[Velvet] Red!
Hot!
[Velvet] Who do we got?
My friend Mia, who runs a lot!
Yeah!
[Velvet] Yeah!
Look at you GO-GO, girl!
How’d you get to be so good at obstacle courses?
I’ve been practicing a lot, so I’m preeeety good!
I even earned an award at school!
See?
Oooo!
Beauti-riffic!
Wow, I want to be preeeetty good too.
Please?
You’ll be great at the obstacle course, Codie!
Besides... We know there’s a code for that!
Load the code, Mia!
[Mia] RUN and LOOP... perfect!
[Mia] It’s time to- [Velvet] Red!
Hot!
Red!
Hot!!
Who do we got?!
Now, we got a little bro-bot [laughs] Just excited.
[giggle] Run the code!
Gooo Codie!!
[efforts] [laugh] Whoo!
Ahh!
Boing!
Whoo!
Boing.
[giggle] [dizzy noises] Codie?
Did I win?
Well, you did technically get through the obstacle course, but- I’m not preeeeetty good?
It’s okay - I didn’t get it on my first time either.
Wanna try again?
Mia’s right!
Obstacle shmopstacle... You GOT this!
Okay!
I guess I need to think about the code a little more carefully this time.
Hm.
Codie’s got the running part- But he keeps bumping into things!
So if Codie BUMPS into something, he THEN needs to climb over it... Then we need the LOOP block so he’ll keep running and climbing.
Load the code!
[Mia] Run, bump, climb, and loop.
This should work!
Okay, let’s check the code.
[Mia] Codie will RUN, and if he BUMPS into something, [Mia] he’ll CLIMB over it.
[Mia] With the LOOP block, he’ll do it again and again!
It’s time to... Run the code!
Go Codie GO!
BUMP...
CLIMB!
[Mia] That’s it!
Red!
Hot!
Red!
Hot!
Who do we got?
We got a bro bot - who climbs a whole lot!
WOOHOOO!
GO CODIE!
Yay!
You got this, Codie!
BUMP...
CLIMB!
BUMP...
CLIMB!
Look at him go!
He is ‘preeeetty good!
[Mia] Yeah!
Woohoo!
[Velvet] Woohoo!
Does this mean I’m pretty good?
[giggle] You sure are, bro-bot.
I knew you could do it!
[in unison] Obstacle Shmopstacle.
[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 closer, then further?
Or further, then closer?
Let's try it.
Run the code!
- (ding) - Further.
(whirring) - (ding) - Closer.
(whirring) Run the code!
- [Kids] Yay!
- We did it!
♪ Are you ready for game time?
[giggles] Sure, Evu.
What’s it gonna be?
Basketball?
Ooh, hockey?
Dodgeball?
Softball?
Badminton?
No, rugby.
What about our game, Mia?
Okay!
We call this the “Code Game!” Codie and I kinda invented it.
Ooohwee, there’s nothing an elephant loves MORE than a game invented by her PALS!
BOR-ING.
Whaddayasay little bro- bot?
Wanna play some one-on-one?
[Velvet] Evuuu.
Don’t be such a snippersnap.
Okay, alright!
Let’s play a game.
Now, each of you gets to pick a block - then... Mia loads the code!
And my amazing bro-bot will do that sequence of actions!
Sooo... you’re saying your little bro-bot here will do whatever blocks we choose?
Oh, I’m in.
What happens next is always a surprise!
No peeking - WALK!
That could be fun.
Ooo, I’m SOOO excited!
Okay, okay, Here I go, here I go...
BOUNCE!
Weeee!
Now that’s definitely fun!
Your turn, Evu!
Gah!
Don’t rush me, this is important.
Evu, no peeking!
Fine!
LOOP??
What kind of block is that?
Loop is the block we use when we wanna do things over and over again.
This should be interesting...
Here we go, WALK... [Velvet] BOUNCE!
[Evu] And LOOP!
[thinking] Oh, haha!
It’s time to... RUN THE CODE!
WALK, BOUNCE, AGAIN.
WALK...BOUNCE.
WALK...BOUNCE.
[Codie] WALK...BOUNCE.
[Evu] That’s it?
[Codie] WALK...BOUNCE.
[Evu] Whoop-dee-do.
[Mia] Okay, not quite as much fun as we thought.
[Codie] WALK...BOUNCE.
[Evu] [yawn] BOR-ING... [Codie] WALK...BOUNCE.
Codie’s blockie thingies are just for doing tasks, not playing games.
Hey, bro-bot!
Do you know how to dribble?
Dribble?
What’s that?
That’s when you walk and bounce the ball at the same time!
Oh, that sounds like fun!
Can we do that, Mia?
You know there’s a code for that!
I know how to take this to the next level.
You know what concurrent means, don’t you Codie?
Does that mean doing two things at the same time?
YES, Codie!
The concurrent block will let you do two actions at the same time!
Bounce the ball and walk.
This game is about to get good... [Mia] WALK... [Mia] CONCURRENT... [Mia] BOUNCE... [Mia] and LOOP.
Let’s check the code!
[Mia] Codie will WALK and BOUNCE at the same time with this CONCURRENT block.
[Mia] And he'll do it again and again thanks to the LOOP block [Mia] Now it’s time to run the code!
WALK and BOUNCE... CONCURRENTLY.
WALK and BOUNCE at the same time.
Huh!
Look, I’m dribbling the ball!
Yay!
Now we have our game!
We can call it... CODIE BALL!
Maybe those block thingies are fun after all!
Now it’s GAME TIME!!
Okay!
[Evu] [efforts] [giggle] That’s the stuff!
