First Time Coders

Learn to draw a square using repeats by moving forward and turning right four times, assembling blocks with drag-and-drop to create a loop.

Duplicate a green turtle, set its color to red, duplicate the shape to a turtle, move backward 50, and run to see green and red turtles on the line.

Make the app full screen and zoom in for clarity. Identify the menu button, the three lines that turn blue, and run to see a blank screen.

Move and reshape notes attached to blocks using the blue question mark, adjusting position, size, and text with green borders and yellow areas, including moving forward by 90 steps.

Draw a head and eyes with turtle graphics by using circles, set sizes, and position them before duplicating the eye circle and moving the turtle.

Use the go to block to move to a screen position via x and y coordinates. Positive values move right or up; negative values move left or down from center.

Draw a small circle for the nose after the eyes and duplicate it to form a size 10 nose, centering as needed. Use the run button to see the result.

Add a mouth and refine facial features with go to blocks for the head. Move forward to place eyes, nose, and mouth, then test the happy face.

Learn to use a pen up and pen down sandwich to move without drawing, creating spacing while drawing eyes and mouths.

Master turtle graphics by using pen up and pen down to remove extra lines, drawing a head circle with eyes, nose, and mouth. Add color in the next video.

Remove comments and add color, then learn how pen up and pen down create a drawing sandwich to move without drawing, and then draw the next part of the face.

Practice coloring a face by setting blue eyes, blue nose, and blue mouth, while optionally adding a red outline and adjusting each feature step by step.

First time coders learn to duplicate a circle of size 10 to create a green nose, switch the head to red, the eyes to blue, and the mouth to green.

Move components and customize colors by setting purple for the mouth, blue eyes, and green nose, then click run to see the updated character.

Add helpful comments to label the head diagram, identifying the left eye, right eye, nose, and mouth in blue circles. Then color the circles to prepare for the next part.

Set a color, then use a begin fill and end fill sandwich around a shape with the turtle block to color in circles, squares, or triangles.

Use begin fill and end fill blocks to color the right eye blue by filling a circle, then run the code to see the eye filled.
