00:00:01.159 --> 00:00:04.295
[Welcome to the Hour of Code...]

00:00:05.240 --> 00:00:13.440
(Star Wars musical theme)

00:00:13.440 --> 00:00:19.060
Hi! I'm Kathleen Kennedy and I'm the
producer of Star Wars The Force Awakens.

00:00:19.815 --> 00:00:26.230
Today you'll be working with one of our
stars, BB-8: BB-8 is a spherical droid,

00:00:26.230 --> 00:00:31.770
Everything he does and every movement he
makes is controlled by computer software.

00:00:33.079 --> 00:00:38.281
Computer science impacts every industry
from marketing to healthcare to film.

00:00:38.803 --> 00:00:42.070
In fact, hundreds of computer engineers 
work together

00:00:42.070 --> 00:00:44.800
to make a film like "The Force Awakens."

00:00:45.845 --> 00:00:49.348
Hi, I'm Rachel Rose, 
I'm the senior R&D engineer at ILM

00:00:49.348 --> 00:00:53.000
and I lead the animation and creature 
development team.

00:00:53.726 --> 00:00:57.780
In The Force Awakens I'm responsible
for helping me artist develop rigs

00:00:57.780 --> 00:01:01.160
which are the parts of the character 
that move,

00:01:01.160 --> 00:01:05.644
that allow the character to look very
believable in a galaxy far far away.

00:01:06.652 --> 00:01:09.590
In the next hour we're gonna build our own
Star Wars game

00:01:09.597 --> 00:01:12.200
that will teach you the basic concepts
of programming.

00:01:12.600 --> 00:01:15.780
Usually programming is all text 
but we're going to use blocks here

00:01:15.780 --> 00:01:18.436
so that we can drag and drop to
rate the programs (check)

00:01:18.776 --> 00:01:20.738
Under the hood 
you're still creating code.

00:01:21.290 --> 00:01:24.645
After you try the basics with blocks,
we'll switch you to JavaScript,

00:01:24.645 --> 00:01:27.399
one the most popular programming languages
on the web.

00:01:28.148 --> 00:01:32.409
To start off, we're going to work with Ray
to program BB-8 to walk

00:01:32.409 --> 00:01:34.203
to collect all of the scrap parts.

00:01:34.639 --> 00:01:36.608
Your screen is split into three parts:

00:01:36.608 --> 00:01:39.919
on the left is a Star Wars game space
where code will run.

00:01:39.919 --> 00:01:43.519
The instructions for each level 
are written below the game space.

00:01:43.519 --> 00:01:47.060
This middle area is the
tool box and each of these boxes

00:01:47.060 --> 00:01:49.039
is a command that BB-8 can understand.

00:01:49.629 --> 00:01:51.999
The white space on the right 
is called the workspace

00:01:51.999 --> 00:01:53.979
and this is where we're going
to build our program.

00:01:54.362 --> 00:01:58.659
if I drag the "Move left" block to our 
workspace and press run, what happens ?

00:01:59.169 --> 00:02:01.879
BB-8 moves left one block on the grid.

00:02:02.269 --> 00:02:05.429
And what if I want BB-8 to do something 
after the "move left" block?

00:02:05.429 --> 00:02:07.520
I can add another block to our program.

00:02:08.297 --> 00:02:10.144
I'm going to choose 
the "move up" block

00:02:10.144 --> 00:02:12.520
and I'll drag it underneath 
my "move left" block

00:02:12.520 --> 00:02:14.700
until the highlight appears 
and then I'll drop it

00:02:14.700 --> 00:02:16.571
and the two blocks will snap together.

00:02:17.450 --> 00:02:18.980
When i press "run again"

00:02:18.980 --> 00:02:21.192
BB-8 will ... (check) the commands 
that are stacked

NOTE Paragraph

00:02:21.192 --> 00:02:23.364
from top to bottom on our workspace.

00:02:24.431 --> 00:02:27.000
if you ever want to delete a block, 
just remove it from the stack

00:02:27.000 --> 00:02:28.800
and drag it back into the tool box.

00:02:29.240 --> 00:02:34.180
After you've hit "Run", you can always 
hit the reset button to get back to start.

00:02:34.730 --> 00:02:36.100
Now let's get rolling
