What it is

Bolt the garden robot needs a program to reach its charging pad. Start with arrow blocks, then use repeat blocks when the robot's memory is too small for every step, and finally teach Bolt a reusable dance. Programs are checked by running them step by step — any program that gets Bolt home counts, and a star rewards matching our shortest program.

What children learn

Introduces programming as precise instructions: sequencing, debugging by running, loops to shorten repetition, and functions as named, reusable steps. Relative turning builds perspective-taking.
