Today, we will be watching a few videos:
Code Stars: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dU1xS07N-FA (9 min)
Code is the new Literacy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MwLXrN0Yguk (2 min)
After the videos, you can check out the Karel the Dog actvity

This activity will have you writing real code (unlike some of the activities you might have tried last week), in a language called JavaScript. This is a different language than the ones we'll be using in this course, but it will give you a good introduction to the importance of writing code in exactly the right way, and show you that it's not that hard!
