They just float on air!
Won’t it fall?
[Mia] [giggles] Not while the wind holds it up.
Oh!
The wind let it go!
[giggles] Isn’t that adorable?
I forgot to mention that you also have to use this string to keep the kite moving.
How?
There’s a code for that... Code?
[gasp] That means ME!
Yep, it’s your turn, little bro- bot!
Load the code, load the code!
[Mia] RUN and FAST, that’ll keep you moving.
And now it’s time to... [in unison] Run the code!
RUN!
FAST!
The kite didn’t fly!
Oops.
That’s my bad.
I forgot you have to release the string.
Let’s add the RELEASE block.
Run the code!
RUN... FAST!
RELEASE!
Look at me!
I’m flying a kite!
Yes you are, Codie!
[giggles] Don’t worry, kite, I won’t let you fall.
[giggles] Codie?...
hey, wait for me!!
[giggle] [impact] Hey.
Let go!
Mia?
[squawk] Nope, E-vuuu.
Having kite trouble?
The tree won’t let go of my kite!
[squawk] Lucky for you I’m a kite expert.
Really?
First, you gotta show the kite who’s boss.
Watch and learn.
[grunts] Come ‘ere!
Why you.
[squawk] Are you the boss now?
[struggle] Don’t you even think about it!
Codieee?
[squawk] Oh!
There you are!
Mia, the kite!
[squawking] [Mia] [giggles] Evu!
We need to cut that string.
[squawk] [laugh] I’m free!
[squawk] Find somewhere else to squat!
[squawk] Thank you Evu, you really are a kite expert.
I am?
I mean, Yes, of course I am!
Duh!
[Evu] [squawk] [Mia] Evu!
We need that string!
[Evu] I'm flying!
No string... no flying.
We’re not giving up that fast.
There’s more than one way to fly a kite!
Thanks to the EXTEND block, you’ll be the string.
Yah!
Be the string!
Wait, what?
Be the string?
[giggle] The EXTEND block will let you extend your arm waaaaay out like the string Load the code!
Let’s check the code.
[Mia] You’ll need to RUN... [Mia] FAST - and EXTEND!
[Codie] And now we... [in unison] Run the code!
RUN... FAST...
EXTEND!
I’m flying the kite!
This is so fun!
I’m flying the kite!
Whoo!
[sigh] Like an expert.
We did it, Codie!
[in unison] [laugh] [Kids] Go Codie, go!
[Codie] I want to get to the prize.
But I don't know what to do.
Can you help me?
Which code will get me to the prize?
Is it eat, then right?
Or right, then eat?
Let's try it.
Run the code!
- (ding) - Right, eat.
Run the code!
(rumbling) Run the code!
(rumbling) [Kids] Yay!
All right!
Code, Code, Code with me, What I write is what you see!
Wow!
Can I JUMP the ROPE with you, Mia?
Please?
Sure!
Way to jump in there and ask, little bro-bot.
[gasp] We could jump ‘Double Dutch’!
Double what-ch?
[giggles] Double Dutch!
It’s when we use two ropes, and we jump in together.
Double dutch, double dutch!
[Mia] Isn’t he adorable?
[Codie] [giggle] But... we need two helpers to spin the ropes.
[Velvet] Someone say jump ropes?
Ta-da!
There’s an elephant on duty!
[giggle] Hi Velvet!
Hey!
[squawk] What about me?
Hi Evu!
Would you please help us Double Dutch?
Double who?
It’s a kind of jump rope!
Like this, only with two people jumping at the same time!
Whoooooooa.
[dizzy] Wooooow.
Look at you go!
Woooo, skipparoooonie!
[Velvet] You know, I did happen to win a jumping contest- [Evu] Ooh!
Lemme try!
Let Evu try!
Oh, I gotta have a turn!
Slow down, Evu.
We can all have a turn!
First, you and Velvet can spin the ropes, so Codie and I can double dutch.
[squawk] Then-- Alright!
Come on, come on already!
Come on!
Okay, but before we can jump rope, you know what we need to do... Load the code!
First we’ll JUMP in...
Together!
Then, we’ll HOP, five times.
So, that’s HOP and a FIVE block.
Ready?
Are you kidding?
This elephant is ALWAYS ready!
And... now!
RUN THE CODE!
Jump, Hop, Five times fast, [dizzy] Codie, Mia havin’ a blast!
Yay!
Okay, okay, watch the Evu!
[squawk] Oh no!
Evu!
You broke the rope!
[sigh] Yes, he certainly did.
Did I Double Dutch?
No, you did not double dutch!
And, you ruined my turn, Evu.
Now I’ll never be able to show off my stuff.
Ker-pickle!
I like Velvet’s stuff.
Don’t worry, there’s more than one way to jump a rope.
This Code Girl’s got this!
Here’s what we’re gonna do... [whispers] [Velvet] Yeah!
[Codie] Alright!
[Mia] Then we’ll need the EXTEND and SPIN blocks.
You stand right there.
Codie and I will back up.
You got it!
I’m ready.
All set, Codie?
All set!
Ready to shine, Velvet?
Ah!
You know it!
Now let’s... check the code!
[Mia] We need Codie to EXTEND his arms and SPIN the ropes.
[Mia] It’s time to... Run the code!
[effort] EXTEND!
Together we...
SPIN!
[Velvet] [cheers] Yeah, yeah, yeah!
I jump the rope, rope, rope.
[squawk] [laugh] I jump so high, high, high!
Jumpin’ elephants!
I touch the sky, sky, sky!
[laugh] I touch the sky, sky, sky, too!
[laugh] Ta-daaaa!
Wahoo!
[Kids] Go Codie, go!
[Codie] I want to get to the prize.
But I don't know what to do.
Can you help me?
Which code will get me to the prize?
Is it closer, then further?
Or further, then closer?
Let's try it.
Run the code!
- (ding) - Further.
(whirring) - (ding) - Closer.
(whirring) Run the code!
- [Kids] Yay!
- We did it!
♪ [Velvet] Red!
Hot!
[Velvet] Red!
Hot!
[Velvet] Who do we got?
My friend Mia, who runs a lot!
Yeah!
[Velvet] Yeah!
Look at you GO-GO, girl!
How’d you get to be so good at obstacle courses?
I’ve been practicing a lot, so I’m preeeety good!
I even earned an award at school!
See?
Oooo!
Beauti-riffic!
Wow, I want to be preeeetty good too.
Please?
You’ll be great at the obstacle course, Codie!
Besides... We know there’s a code for that!
Load the code, Mia!
[Mia] RUN and LOOP... perfect!
[Mia] It’s time to- [Velvet] Red!
Hot!
Red!
Hot!!
Who do we got?!
Now, we got a little bro-bot [laughs] Just excited.
[giggle] Run the code!
Gooo Codie!!
[efforts] [laugh] Whoo!
Ahh!
Boing!
Whoo!
Boing.
[giggle] [dizzy noises] Codie?
Did I win?
Well, you did technically get through the obstacle course, but- I’m not preeeeetty good?
It’s okay - I didn’t get it on my first time either.
Wanna try again?
Mia’s right!
Obstacle shmopstacle... You GOT this!
Okay!
I guess I need to think about the code a little more carefully this time.
Hm.
Codie’s got the running part- But he keeps bumping into things!
So if Codie BUMPS into something, he THEN needs to climb over it... Then we need the LOOP block so he’ll keep running and climbing.
Load the code!
[Mia] Run, bump, climb, and loop.
This should work!
Okay, let’s check the code.
[Mia] Codie will RUN, and if he BUMPS into something, [Mia] he’ll CLIMB over it.
[Mia] With the LOOP block, he’ll do it again and again!
It’s time to... Run the code!
Go Codie GO!
BUMP...
CLIMB!
[Mia] That’s it!
Red!
Hot!
Red!
Hot!
Who do we got?
We got a bro bot - who climbs a whole lot!
WOOHOOO!
GO CODIE!
Yay!
You got this, Codie!
BUMP...
CLIMB!
BUMP...
CLIMB!
Look at him go!
He is ‘preeeetty good!
[Mia] Yeah!
Woohoo!
[Velvet] Woohoo!
Does this mean I’m pretty good?
[giggle] You sure are, bro-bot.
I knew you could do it!
