- [Voiceover] Heyyaz!
I'm Pamela, from the Khan Academy team.
So you're here for Hour of Code, right?
That's awesome!
I can still remember my first hour of coding,
when I was a little kid,
and now I'm on my 10,000th hour of coding,
and it's still really, really fun.
There are tons of ways to learn to code,
and there's so many things you can do with code,
like making games, if you like PAC-MAN,
or Angry Birds, or Minecraft,
or, if you like Science, you can use programming
to visualize the way the Universe works
and help other people understand it better.
If you like Medicine, you could help doctors understand
what's going inside the human body,
because it's really crazy.
You could make robots, like self-driving cars.
You could analyze data.
You could make websites like Khan Academy.
There's so much you can do.
Here, on Khan Academy, you'll spend your Hour of Code
learning to make computer-generated drawings.
We can't cover that much in so little time,
but we hope you're excited by your first taste of code
and wanna go deeper.
Here's what you'll do in the next hour.
First, you'll watch these interactive talk-throughs.
They're kind of like videos, where we write code
and we talk while we're writing it,
and you can see the result of the code on the right side,
and you can pause it, just like a video.
But, even better than a video, you can actually edit
the code that we've written
and see what happens when you change it,
and then you can turn it back on when you wanna keep going.
Now, remember, there's audio, so make sure
you have speakers or headphones on
when you're watching these.
Next, you'll do a coding challenge.
This is how you practice what you just learned,
and earn points for completing it,
going through each of the steps until you get them done.
Try to get through each challenge to the end,
but, if you don't, and you're getting frustrated,
don't worry, just keep going to the next talk-through.
Finally, at the end, you'll do a more free form
creative project, where there's no right answer
and the point is just to have fun
while using what you've learned.
And, hey, if this takes you longer than an hour,
that's totally okay with us.
Here, at Khan Academy,
we believe that everybody should learn at their own pace.
We'll always be here for you to keep learning,
no matter how long it takes.
Ready to get started?!
Let's have a Coding Party!
Woo-hoo!
