Hello World incorporates computer science principles, and core coding concepts of sequencing and loops. If you’re setting up an Hour of Code or a similar event, check out this handy Game Guide! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59e65be0dc2b4a316863fe21/1543957279094-L70UHPSQAJ6UIEB3YBFA/Loop_Explanation_smaller.png Games Imagine 30 lines of code, one for each student in a class to list their name and favorite book. To list their favorite animal instead, you have to update all 30 lines. Lame! Loops let you process each student the same way with just one line of code, which saves time and avoids mistakes. Loops are a powerful way to avoid bugs and process lots of information with few lines of code! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59e65be0dc2b4a316863fe21/1543957449303-5JQUC45RBS75V7C0WZIK/Sequencing_Explanation_smaller.png Games In coding, every line of code is run in order. Imagine a robot that will bake a cake by following the instructions exactly as written from top to bottom. If the instructions are wrong, the cake won't turn out! Running code in order is called sequencing, and it's the foundation of all coding! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59e65be0dc2b4a316863fe21/1548966762449-U2RDNW1WW6NCLQ8AHGPA/Root_Nab_LightSprite Games https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59e65be0dc2b4a316863fe21/1555982295063-6T8AOAIRY4F3A0U9EF0J/IMG_0918.jpg Games https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59e65be0dc2b4a316863fe21/1555982300951-5OY7BWMSVK30STBUZP3O/IMG_0914.jpg Games https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59e65be0dc2b4a316863fe21/1555982305258-P7E7D48JXZTF66A41EKP/IMG_0909.jpg Games https://botschool.io/home-mentor daily 0.75 2024-07-20 https://botschool.io/annual-report-stat-1-mentor daily 0.75 2024-07-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5797de498419c2b3b97221ba/1473700888618-FTWE0952TOEB5FN2LMRP/annual-report-p1423927103-6-2500x1667.jpg Annual Report Stat 1 - 98% Student Retention DESCRIPTION TEXT.

At first, the mission seems simple -- gather up Light Sprites! They are powerful, magical critters that can restore the Lighthouse Orb with GridLight, an energy source. Root introduces you to the magic of coding, by showing you how to program Nab, the Bot Friend you’ll rely on to complete the mission. Then Wild Bots start to appear on the map. Wild Bots aren’t uncommon, but it’s strange to see so many of them either broken (Null Bots) or grumpy and trying to attack (Bugged Bots). Not only are they cluttering things up, they’re scaring away the Light Sprites! You and Root eventually discover the source of Null Bots and Bugged Bots. A fellow programmer had written code to automate the gathering of Light Sprites, but in his hurry to ship it out, he didn’t test the code nor did he have it reviewed by a peer. His code produced a bug that made the Wild Bots treat everything with a different protocol as an enemy. You disable the device broadcasting the code to Wild Bots. Root says she will bring the bug report back to the other programmer. Both of you make plans to return for the Lighthouse Festival that night -- where you see the Light Sprites restore the Lighthouse Orb. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59e65be0dc2b4a316863fe21/1538233990094-Y3UC61U77WNQ644GFY96/BotSchool_GridLight_HelloWorldIntroSplash.jpg GridLight: Hello World Game Guide - GridLight: Hello World introduces coding fundamentals — sequencing & loops. We integrated these coding principles directly into the gameplay, so even those completely new to computer science can experience that it’s fun, creative, and accessible. Through playing, you'll put these K-12 Computer Science Framework concepts into practice: > Algorithms and Programming — learn this every turn by structuring your Command Line sequence > Computing Systems — shown by the relationship between software (the Command Line) and hardware (your Bot Friend) > Impacts of Computing — use programming to solve a challenge (restoring the Lighthouse for the Festival) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59e65be0dc2b4a316863fe21/1548967390719-FGQ9KOGZ1P8FUQTLESH8/Sequencing GridLight: Hello World Game Guide In coding, every line of code is run in order.
