Hi! I'm Kathleen Kennedy and I'm the
producer of Star Wars The Force awakens.

Today you'll be working with one of our
stars, BBA. BBA is a spherical droid

Everything he does in every movement he
makes is controlled by computer software.

Computer science impacts every industry
from marketing to health care to film.

In fact, hundreds of computer engineers work
together to make a film like The Force Awakens."

Hi, I'm Rachel Rose, I'm senior R&D
engineer at ILM and I lead the

animation and creature development team.
In The Force Awakens I'm responsible

for helping me artist develop rigs which
are the parts of the character that move

that allowed the character to look very
believable in a galaxy far far away.

the next hour we're gonna build our own
star will teach you the basic concepts

of programming usually programming is
all texts but we're going to use blocks

here so that we can drag and drop to
rate the programs under the hood you're

still creating code after to try the
basics with blocks Java Script one of

the most popular programming languages
on the web

start off we're going to work with the
program BBA to walk to collect all of

scrap parts your screen is split into
three parts on the left a Star Wars game

space where code will run the
instructions for each level are written

below the games this middle area is the
tool box and each of these boxes a

command that BBA can understand the
white space on the right is called the

workspace and this is where we're going
to build our program if I drag the move

left walk to our workspace and press run
what happens maybe eight mins left one

block on the grid and what if I want you
to do something after the move left walk

I can add another block her program I'm
going to choose the move lock and I'll

Drive get underneath my move left until
the highlight of peers and then I'll

drop it and the two blocks will snap
together

when i press run again he be able to put
on the command center stacked from top

to bottom on our workspace if you ever
want to block just remove it from the

stack and drag it back into the tool box
after you hit run you can always hit the

reset button to get back to start now
let's get rolling
