Welcome to CS First - Lesson 1 Take a walk

Lesson Overview

This lesson is designed for students who have never seen Gandi IDE before. The focus is on the fundamental mechanics of working in Gandi IDE, starting by connecting and disconnecting existing blocks in the starter code and then gradually adding new blocks from the toolbox. By the end of the lesson students will have a program that starts when the green flag is clicked with a sprite that says a sequence of dialogue before gliding randomly around the screen.
