Ask students, "What is coding?" Brainstorm ideas with them and explain that "coding" is telling computers and/or robots what to do. Ask students to think about the types of roles/jobs that would require coding as a skill. Some ideas could include:

Web developer (someone who makes websites) Roboticist App developer Driverless Vehicle Engineer Cloud Computing Specialist Drone Engineer

Display the samples of scripting and explain to students that many engineers write code in "scripting" languages. Explain that while they will not be learning scripting quite yet, they will be learning how to code with OzoBlockly, a visual programming language that will help students learn the concepts and skills before moving on to scripting.

Explain the concept of visual programming. OzoBlockly is a language uses blocks shaped like puzzle pieces to create code. Like Color Codes, OzoBlockly code can tell Evo what to do and has more capabilities. With Color Codes, we could only control Evo's movements. With OzoBlockly, we can control Evo's movement, sounds, and lights. Today, students will be coding Evo with OzoBlockly to control all three elements.

Model how to navigate to OzoBlockly Bot Camp. At this point, if your students can read independently, you can distribute robots, and have them work in pairs. If your students need more guidance and support, continue on to the next steps.

Point out the left panel. This is where students can change levels to find different blocks. Inform students that they will be working in level two for this lesson, but are free to explore other levels and blocks after they complete the task.

Show students the four different block categories: Movement, Light Effects, Timing, Loops, and Sounds. Point out that different blocks appear based on the category clicked, and that color of the blocks are based on the category they belong to.

Explain to students that their goal is to get Evo to move past the finish line. They will need a movement block. Model how to drag and drop a "move forward distance 1 step medium" block, and how to adjust the number of steps to 8.

Model how to place Evo in the starting position and execute the code by clicking on "run program." Explain to students that the Blockly code they wrote instructed the robot to move past the finish line.

Tell students that they will now add and lights to celebrate. Model how to drag "play happy" (sounds), "spin left" (movement), and "firework" (light effects). Point out that the blocks must connect and that they make a snapping sound when connected.

Introduce the concept of a loop. Explain that they will code the bot to repeat some of the behaviors. Model how to drag and drop a "repeat 2 times do" block and point out how the number can be changed. Show students how to adjust it to say "repeat 3 times do".

Note: When adding the loop, be sure to explain to students that the bot will only repeat the code that is stacked inside.

Explain to students that their code is now complete, and they can test it by clicking "run program". Explain that they can always use the "run program" button to test any code they build.

Show students how to delete blocks. Blocks can be deleted by dragging and dropping blocks into the left panel, dragging code on top of the trash can, clicking on the trash can, or right-clicking on the block and choosing "delete block". They will need to delete the code before moving on to the next step.

After building this block of code, students should be able to independently complete the second code independently. Tell students that they will code Evo to take the stairs to the top.

Optional: If your students need extra support, or cannot complete the code independently, model how to complete the remaining steps.
