Lucas is in his twenties, with short puffy brown hair and wears jeans and an orange T-shirt.

Laura is in her twenties, with above the shoulders straight brown hair with bangs and wears jeans and a purple T-shirt.

As a song plays, Lucas and Laura walk in the woods, cross a bridge, balance on a fallen tree trunk, cross a stream, run across the city and in a park full of geese. Fast clips show them next to Greg playing and having fun in the tree fort. Greg is in his twenties, with short black hair. He wears a blue sweater.

The song says PACK UP YOUR BAGS KISS YOUR TURTLE GOOD-BYE COME UP AND CLIMB WHERE WE CAN TOUCH THE SKY SO MUCH TO SEE SO MUCH TO DO IN OUR TREE FORT WE'VE GOT A SHOW FOR YOU THAT TVOkids SHOW THAT TVOkids SHOW THAT TVOkids SHOW THAT TVOkids SHOW.

[Geese Cackling]

Laura says PASSWORD, PLEASE.

Lucas whispers something in Laura's ear as a caption reads "Numbers."

In animation, a dialogue bubble pops out of a map with the title of the show: "That TVO Kids Show."

The song continues LA, LA, LA, DO, DO, DO, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH THAT TVOKIDS SHOW! THAT TVOkids SHOW.

Inside the tree fort, Lucas holds up a transparent plastic sphere with blue contents inside. He's wearing a black sweater and a white shirt.

He says HELLO, KIDS. WELCOME TO THE FREE TREE FORT, I'M LUCAS AND I'M EXCITED TO BE HERE AND I'M VERY EXCITED TO SHOW OFF A NEW TOY THAT I GOT OVER THE HOLIDAYS. IT'S LIKE A ROBOT AND COMPUTER THINGS INSIDE BECAUSE IT'S CALLED A SPHERO. I'LL FIND OUT BECAUSE TODAY IS ALL ABOUT CODING. ISN'T THAT AMAZING? WE'RE LEARNING TOGETHER. WE GOT AN E-MAIL WHICH MAYBE MIGHT BE THE QUICKEST WAY I HAVE EVER GOTTEN AN E-MAIL, WHICH ALSO MEANS THAT IT'S TIME FOR...

In animation, a megaphone pops up as a voice yells We need to know!

Lucas says OKAY. I REALLY NEED TO KNOW ABOUT MY TOY, THE SPHERO. LET'S SEE WHAT THE QUESTION IS. Taha AGE 10, WANTS TO KNOW WHAT IS CODING? ISN'T THAT AMAZING?... WE NEED TO KNOW! WHOA. OK. HERE GOES. WHAT IS CODING?

A clip plays showing kids using computers and watching TV. Greg says THE POINT IS LOTS OF STUFF AND ALL DONE BY USING COMPUTER PROGRAMS. BUT WHAT ARE PROGRAMS MADE FROM? THEY'RE MADE FROM THEIR OWN SPECIAL LANGUAGE CALLED CODE. SO, WHAT IS CODING REALLY? WHAT IS CODING?

[FROG HORN]

[SLIDE WHISTLE]

As fast clips and images illustrate his points, Greg continues CODE IS MADE OF WORDS AND NUMBER S. YOU CAN LEARN TO PUT THEM IN ORDER SO THE COMPUTER UNDERSTANDS WHAT TO DO. YOU MIGHT PROGRAM A ROBOT TO TURN 360 DEGREES OR GIVE YOUR STORY MULTIPLE ENDINGS BASED ON READER CHOICES OR MAKE FART NOISES. IT'S TOTALLY UP TO YOU. CODERS CHANGE THE NUMBERS AND THE WORDS TO DETERMINE WHAT HAPPENS IN IN THEIR PROGRAM. AND THERE ARE SO MANY MORE THING S YOU CAN DO IT'S YOUR CODE, SO YOU CAN CHOOSE. THE ONLY LIMIT IS YOUR IMAGINATION.

The clip ends.

Back in the tree fort, Lucas stands near three bowling pins and the Sphero, set on the floor forming a square. The pins are red, blue and yellow respectively.

He says NOW, I JUST LEARNED THAT CODING IS TELLING A MACHINE WHAT TO DO SO... SPHEERO, RUN THE OBSTACLE COURSE I DESIGNED AND RETURN TO ME IMMEDIATELY! I AM YOUR CONTROLLER AND YOU WILL HIT ALL BOWLING PINS DOWN ON THE COUNT OF 3. ONE, 2, 3.

As he shouts "three" the Sphero rolls away without hitting any pin.

Lucas says OH, OKAY WELL T MOVED SO THAT'S A GOOD THING. OKAY SO COME BACK TO ME. NO, NOT FURTHER AWAY; COME CLOSER.

It continues moving away.

Lucas says OKAY. WAIT. OKAY. COME BACK, COME BACK. OKAY.

[FROG HORN]

[FROG HORN]

He takes the call and says TREE FORT, LUCAS SPEAKING. WHO'S CALLING?

A voice says HI, IT'S EMMA.

Lucas says WHAT'S THE PASS POURED WORD FOR TODAY EMMA?

Emma says NUMBERS.

Lucas says YOU'RE RIGHT AND YOU'RE UP IN THE SKY, MY FRIEND.

Emma pops up in the sky. She has brown hair in a bun. A caption reads "Emma. Age 9."

Lucas says WELCOME TO THE FREE TREE FORT. I HAVE MY NEW TOY. DO YOU THINK ANYTHING ABOUT CODING?

Emma says YEAH.

Lucas says WHAT DO YOU KNOW?

Emma says THAT YOU HAVE TO SET IT AT CERTAIN PIECES TOGETHER SO THAT IT LEARNS THE CODING.

Lucas says SO BASICALLY YOU'RE SAYING LIKE I CAN'T JUST GIVE IT ONE COMMAND? LIKE I HAVE TO GIVE IT A BUNCH OF DIFFERENT COMMANDS; IS THAT CORRECT?

Emma says YES.

Lucas says OKAY. SO IF I WANTED TO MAKE A CODE AND MAKE IT GO FORWARD AND THEN I WANTED TO MAKE IT GO TO THE RIGHT, WHAT DO YOU THINK I WOULD DO?

Emma says YOU WOULD SAY GO FORWARD, LIKE...

Lucas says OKAY, CODING HAS TO BE REALLY SPECIFIC. I CAN'T JUST SAY GO FORWARD. I HAVE TO SAY GO A DISCERN CERTAIN DISTANCE. THAT'S AWESOME. I'M GOING TO KEEP WORK ON. THIS YOU SOUND LIKE YOU'RE REALLY GOOD AT TECHNOLOGY. DO YOU HAVE ANY OTHER HOBBIES?

Emma says I LOVE TO DANCE.

Lucas says WHAT KIND OF DANCE?

Emma says LOT, LIKE HIP HOP, JAZZ, TAP.

Lucas says WOW, SUPER IMPRESSIVE EMMA. WE WANT TO SHOW YOU SOME CUTE VIDEOS, SO HERE COMES THE CHAMPION.

A voice says CHAMPION!

A short video shows a polar bear cub rolling around in thick snow.

Lucas says OKAY, OKAY THIS IS THE CHAMPION FROM YESTERDAY. TELL US WHAT YOU THINK. I KNOW IT'S A POLAR BEAR BABY WHAT DO YOU RATE IT OUT OF TEN?

Emma says A NINE.

Lucas says OH, THAT'S A HIGH SCORE. I RATED A NINE, TOO, I REALLY LIKE T LET'S SEE WHAT YOU THINK OF THE CHALLENGER.

A short video shows a long-haired Chihuahua dog wearing glasses and a bowtie.

Lucas says OKAY.

Emma says OR THAT'S SO CUTE.

Lucas says I THINK IT'S A LONG-HAIRED CHIHUAHUA DRESSED UP AS LIKE, WELL, IT HAS TO DO WITH COMPUTER S SO IT MUST BE CODING. WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THIS ONE?

Emma says I LIKE IT. I'D GIVE IT A 7 AND A HALF.

Lucas says THE POLAR LEADS. THAT'S AWESOME, EMMA. THANKS FOR PLAYING THE GAME. AND I'D LOVE TO TALK TO YOU AGAIN. O JUST A SEC.

Laura says EMMA?

Lucas says WHERE ARE YOU?

Laura says OVER HERE.

Lucas says WHERE?

Laura says I'M CALLING IN.

The screen splits in three to show Lucas, Emma and Laura.

Lucas says OH, THERE YOU ARE.

Laura says EMMA'S, HOW'S IT GOING? LISTEN, I WAS JUST WATCHING AND LUCAS, I NOTICED THAT YOU WERE HAVING A BIT OF TROUBLE WITH YOUR NEW CODING TOY. SO I THOUGHT MAYBE I COULD HELP.

Lucas says THAT WOULD BE GREAT. WHAT COULD DO WE DO?

Laura says OKAY, LISTEN. SO WHEN YOU'RE CODING SOMETHING, YOU NEED TO GIVE IT SOMETHING CALLED AN ALGORHYTHM. HEARD OF THAT BEFORE?

Lucas says NO, NOT REALLY.

A caption reads "Algorithm."

Laura says OKAY CHECK IT OUT IT'S SOMETHING PRETTY SIMPLE, BUT ALSO VERY IMPORTANT, OKAY? IT'S A SET OF STEPS THAT YOU GIVE A COMPUTER TO EITHER SOLVE A PROBLEM OR GET SOMETHING DESIGNED.

Lucas says LIKE EMMA WAS TALKING ABOUT.

Laura says EXACTLY. SO WE ALL KNOW COMPUTERS ARE SMART, BUT THEY'RE NOT LIKE SUPER, SUPER, SUPER IS THAT RIGHT SMART. THEY CAN'T ACTUALLY MAKE GUESS, RIGHT? SO YOU COMPUTER CAN'T GO, MMM, LUCAS SAID SAID THIS, BUT I THINK YOU PROBABLY ACTUALLY MEAN THIS A COMPUTER CAN'T REALLY DO THAT, SO YOU HAVE TO BE SO SPECIFIC ABOUT THE OFFERED INSTRUCTIONS THAT YOU'RE GIVING

Lucas says OKAY, COOL. THAT'S WHAT Emma WAS SAYING AS WELL...

Laura says TO UNDERSTAND THIS A LITTLE BIT FURTHER LET'S CHECK OUT THIS SCIENCE EXPERIMENT TO UNDERSTAND THIS A LITTLE BIT FURTHER.

Lucas says OKAY.

In animation, a Big Bang of Math symbols and science gadgets occur as real life scientist and magician Eric opens a portal in his tablet and more gadgets appear: a magnifying glass, a flask, binoculars, a protractor, and a magnet.

Eric has short, curly brown hair and a shadow of a beard. He wears a blue Science Explosion T-shirt and a kitchen apron.

Eric stands inside a kitchen holding an instruction sheet for a recipe, with the instructions in a wrong order: 2, 4, 3, 1.

A female voice says UH OH YOUR INSTRUCTIONS SEEMTO BE IN THE WRONG ORDER. THE ORDER IS VERY, VERY IMPORTANT. IT'S LIKE COMPUTER CODE. WE NEED CLEAR INSTRUCTIONS IN EXACTLY THE RIGHT ORDER TO MAKE A PIE, RIGHT? WE ALSO NEED INSTRUCTIONS TO CODE. SO CODING WRITING PROGRAMS THAT TELLS ROBOTS AND COMPUTERS HOW TO DO CERTAIN TASKS.

Eric raises his brows, then flips the instruction sheet and the instructions appear in the correct order.

The woman says WOW, ERIC. THAT'S A COOL TRICK. AND EASY INSTRUCTIONS, GIVEN IN THE RIGHT ORDER CAN MAKE AN AWESOME TREASURE HUNT. WOULD YOU LIKE TO DO ONE WITH ME?

Eric nods.

The woman continues AND THIS WILL HELP US LEARN MORE ABOUT COMPUTER CODING AT THE SAME TIME. TO GET STARTED WE NEED A GRID GRID. I GREW DREW A GRID THAT'S 10 SQUARE by 8 SQUARES.

On a black floor, a grid appears that is 10 squares wide and 8 squares tall. A paper star sits in one of the corners and other objects sit in other squares inside the grid. The woman says TO BEGIN, THE SQUARE WITH THE STAR ON IT, THE GOAL OF THE GAME IS TO FIND THE TREASURE. BUT FIRST WE HAVE TO FIND THREE CLUES. IF YOU WANT TO SUCCEED IN FINDING THE TREASURE, YOU HAVE TO FOLLOW MY INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY, JUST LIKE A COMPUTER OR A ROBOT.

In a robotic voice, the woman says ROBO ERIC, TURN TO THE RIGHT. MOVE AHEAD ONES SQUARE. TURN TO THE LEFT.

As she speaks, Eric follows her commands.

She continues MOVE AHEAD 4 SQUARES.

Eric walks into a square containing an apple.

The woman says YOU FOUND THE FIRST CLUE. TURN TO THE RIGHT. MOVE AHEAD 3 SQUARES.

Eric bumps into a tall lamp.

The woman says UH OH, WHAT'S THIS LAMP DOING HERE? WE'LL HAVE TO WORK AROUND IT. ERIC, TURN TO THE RIGHT. MOVE AHEAD 2 SQUARES. NOW TURN TO THE LEFT; MOVE AHEAD 3 SQUARES.

Eric finds an oven mitt.

The woman says LOOK, YOU FOUND THE SECOND CLUE. MMM, WONDER WHAT IT MEANS. OKAY LET'S CONTINUE. TURN TO THE LEFT. MOVE AHEAD 3 SQUARES.

As Eric finds a fork and a napkin, the woman says ANOTHER CLUE, THE LAST ONE. YOU POKE MILD CURIOSITY. [LAUGHTER] NOW TURN TO THE LEFT. MOVE AHEAD 1 SQUARE. TURN TO THE RIGHT. MOVE AHEAD ONE MORE SQUARE.

Eric finds a small treasure box.

The woman says AND YOU'RE THERE. WELL DONE, ERIC. YOU DID IT. AND NOW YOU UNDERSTAND MORE ABOUT HOW WE PROGRAM COMPUTERS AND ROBOTS WITH CLEAR INSTRUCTIONS GIVEN IN A LOGICAL ORDER. GO AHEAD GO AHEAD, ERIC. YOU EARNED IT.

Eric opens the treasure box and takes out a small apple pie.

The woman says AN APPLE PIE? NICE.

Now as an animated replay of the scene unfolds, the woman says ERIC IS PROGRAMMED TO FIND TREASURE AND WAS GIVE INSTRUCTIONS WITH SIMPLE WORDS, SUCH AS TURN AND MOVE AHEAD. BUT DID YOU KNOW THAT SOMETIMES WE HAVE TO LEARN A WHOLE NEW LANGUAGE TO COMMUNICATE WITH ELECTRONIC DEVICES? THERE ARE MANY DIFFERENT PROGRAMMING OR CODING LANGUAGES IT'S LIKE A LANGUAGE WE ACCUSE USE TO COMMUNICATE WITH OTHER PEOPLE. THESE LANGUAGES ALSO HAVE THEIR OWN VOCABULARY AND GRAMMAR RULES. PEOPLE LEARN THESE LANGUAGES SO THEY CAN GIVE INSTRUCTIONS TO COMPUTERS.

As Eric sits and eats his small apple pie, the woman says TRY PLAYING A GRID GAME AT HOME WITH YOUR FRIENDS. YOU CAN TAKE TURNS BEING THE ROBOT, WHILE THE OTHERS GIVE INSTRUCTIONS. YOU CAN EVEN MAKE A RECIPE STEP BY STEP LIKE ERICA APPLE PIE RECIPE, OR HOW ABOUT DOING THE STEPS OF A DISTANCE?

As Eric dances, the woman says IT'S NOT MAGIC; IT'S SCIENCE.

[LAUGHTER]

The clip ends.

Laura says OKAY. I THINK WE SHOULD PUT THIS TO THE TEST. SO LUCAS, MY QUESTION IS DO YOU BOTH KNOW HOW TO BRUSH BRUSH YOUR TEETH?

Emma says YES.

Lucas says yes. IT'S SIMPLE. COME ON.

Laura says OKAY, WELL, PROVE IT. PRETEND I'M A COMPUTER AND TELL ME HOW TO BRUSH MY TEETH. I'VE GOT EVERYTHING HERE. BUT REMEMBER, YOUR INSTRUCTIONS HAVE TO BE SPECIFIC AND IN THE RIGHT ORDER.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

Lucas says PICK UP YOUR BRUSH, PUT ON SOME TOOTHPASTE AND THEN MOVE IT AROUND YOUR TEETH.

Laura pours a huge amount of toothpaste on a hair brush and moves it around her teeth on the outside.

Laura says I DON'T KNOW. ARE WE CLEAR ABOUT THE INSTRUCTION? LET'S TRY AGAIN.

Lucas says EMMA, YOU GO THIS TIME.

Emma says YOU'RE GOING TO PICK UP YOUR TOOTHBRUSH AND THEN YOU'RE GOING TO PUT IT...

Lucas says OKAY, TRY AGAIN.

Emma says YOU'RE GOING TO PICK UP YOUR TOOTH BRUSH AND THEN LIKE PUT THE TOOTH PAST PASTE ON IT. MOVE IT, AND THEN... PUT A TINY BIT OF TOOTHPASTE ON T AND THEN MOVE YOUR HAND OVER, AND THEN...

As Laura follows Emma's instructions exactly as she mentions them, some toothpaste falls down to the floor.

Lucas says OKAY.

[LAUGHTER]

Lucas says CODING'S HARD. OKAY MOVE YOUR HAND A LEVEL PERPENDICULAR TO YOUR FACE, YES, EXACTLY. NOW PUT THE TOOTHPASTE ON THE BRUSH PART OF YOUR TOOTHBRUSH. NOT BAD. NOW WHAT, EMMA?

Emma says THEN YOU'RE GOING SQUEEZE A LITTLE BIT. AND THEN YOU'RE GOING TO TAKE THE TOOTH PASTE AND CLOSE THE LID. AND THEN YOU'RE GOING TO PUT THE TOOTHPASTE DOWN.

Laura says OKAY.

Lucas says RIGHT.

Emma says THEN PUT IT UP TO YOUR MOUTH.

Lucas says AND THEN BEFORE YOU PUT IT IN YOUR MOUTH YOU'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO KEEP IT THERE. WE'RE JUST GOING DANCE A LITTLE BIT, JUST DANCE IN OUR HEAD.

As she dances, Laura says IS THAT HOW YOU BRUSH YOUR TEETH?

Lucas says SOMETIMES. OKAY. NOW, ONE SEC, EMMA.

Emma says AND THEN YOU'RE GOING TO BRING IT CLOSE TO YOUR MOUTH. OPEN YOUR MOUTH IF... IN YOUR MOUTH.

Lucas says THAT'S GOOD. IT

Laura says M'HM.

Lucas says OKAY. WHAT A GREAT JOB, EMMA, GREAT JOB AT EXPLAINING. OBVIOUSLY I WOULD NOT BE SPECIFIC ENOUGH, WHICH MEANS IT'S VERY IMPORTANT FOR CODING. THAT WAS A GREAT LESS SON, EMMA. GET YOUR TEETH PEARLY CLEAN. WHAT DO YOU THINK?

Emma says NO.

Lucas says WE CAN JUST WATCH.

[LAUGHTER]

Lucas says OKAY. AND YOU CAN STOP, LAURA. AND YOU CAN PUT YOUR TOOTHBRUSH DOWN AND YOU CAN GO BACK TO WHO YOU ARE.

[LAUGHTER]

Lucas says OKAY THAT'S GREAT. EMMA, THANKS FOR HANDING OUT WITH US. THAT WAS A REALLY FUN GAME. YOU'RE THE BEST. WE'RE GOING TO SAY GOODBYE FOR NOW. AND LAURA, STICK AROUND, BECAUSE I WANT TO SHOW YOU, I HAVE BEEN CODING MY PEER O SO I TOLD IT TO GO STRATUM A LITTLE BIT. AND THEN TO TURN ON A 90-DEGREE ANGLE. AND I TOLD IT TO DO THAT 3 TIMES LET'S SEE IF IT'S GOING TO WORK, OKAY?

Laura says OKAY, LET'S SEE.

Lucas says OKAY. GO. HERE WE GO, OKAY.

The Sphero knocks over the yellow pin, then turns and moves towards the blue pin without touching it, then swerves and moves to the red pin.

Lucas says OKAY, THEY'RE TOO FAR. OKAY.

Laura says THAT LOOKS AMAZING. YOU DID IT. THAT'S AWE. SO.

Lucas says I'M A SPECIAL CODER. AWE. SO WE'LL SEE YOU TOMORROW FOR SNOW DAY.

[LAUGHTER]

[LAUGHTER]

[APPLAUSE]

Music plays as a slate shows the end credits.
