Hour of Code | Dance Party: AI Edition - Warm Up
Hi! My name is Miral Kotb and I'm a dancer, software developer, and creator of iLuminate.
Computer science relates to creativity in numerous ways. Immeasurable, really. I mean, once you have the ability to write software you can put ideas into anything. I do it with light suits. There's so much you can do once you have the tools to write software, and the possibilities are really endless.
Over the next hour, you're going to get started with computer science and Artificial Intelligence by programming your own dance party! We've assembled some hit music and a team of great dancers for you to play with.
You'll be using blocks of code to choose different dancers, change their dance moves, make them respond to the music, and make them interactive.
As you code your dance party, you'll get to work with Artificial Intelligence to generate cool backgrounds.
The instructions for each level will be up here at the top of the screen.
When you start coding, you will drag blocks from the toolbox into the workspace. After you press 'Run', you will see your dance party in action in the playspace.
If you want a hint, click on the light bulb. If your code has a bug, feedback will show up here, under the instructions, to help you out.
Try it yourself! And if you're feeling stuck, it's okay, just get up and get moving. Keep coding and before you know it, you'll have made your own dance party. So, what will you create?
