Hey Awesome Coders! Get Ready to Blast Off into the World of Computers!
Have you ever wondered how computers, tablets, and even robots know what to do? It's not magic! It's all thanks to something super cool called coding! Coding is like giving instructions, but not just to anyone – you're giving instructions to computers! Imagine you're training a puppy or telling a friend how to build the BEST LEGO tower. Coding is kind of like that, but way more powerful!

Over the next few lessons, we're going to become Code Explorers! We'll learn to think like computers and discover the secrets behind how they work. We'll be doing lots of fun, hands-on activities – no boring stuff here! We’ll be:
• Teaching robots to dance! 💃🤖
• Going on treasure hunts with secret maps! 🗺️ treasure
• Becoming Bug Busters to fix tricky code! 🐛 detective
