      Robo’s First Line of Code - Martha Scott

      Chapter 1: Robo’s Dream

      Robo was no ordinary robot. He was a clunky, round, slightly-too-shiny contraption with wheels for feet and antennae that always seemed to wiggle when he was nervous, which, to be honest, was most of the time. Robo lived in a bustling place called Techhaven, a city where robots and humans coexisted, tinkering, inventing, and occasionally causing mayhem.

      Robo’s favorite spot was a small bench in the center of Techhaven Square. Every day, he would sit there, watching inventors and robots working together to build the next big thing. One day it was a jet-powered pogo stick; the next, it was a robotic gardening gnome that hummed classical music while pruning roses.

      But Robo wasn’t like those robots. He didn’t create things or design programs. His job was to fix squeaky hinges and replace light bulbs in the town library—a humble but important role, according to his supervisor, Clankbert. Still, Robo couldn’t help but feel like something was missing. Deep inside his circuits, he had a dream: to create his own programs, to give life to his ideas.

      Only one problem: Robo had no idea where to start.

      Hey! Watch it! a gruff voice called out as Robo nearly toppled over while trying to avoid a speeding delivery drone. His antennae wobbled uncontrollably as he regained his balance.

      Sorry! Robo called after the drone, though it was already long gone. He sighed and shuffled toward the library, his mind buzzing with possibilities. What would it be like to write his own code? Would it feel like painting a masterpiece or solving a riddle?

      He had no answers, but he had plenty of questions.

      Inside the library, things were as quiet as ever. Clankbert was polishing a ladder while muttering about the good old days when robots used abacuses instead of algorithms. Robo climbed onto his usual stool and began replacing a burnt-out bulb in the reading corner.

      Why so glum, chum? Clankbert asked, peering over his shoulder.

      Robo hesitated. Clankbert was nice, but he had a way of dismissing anything that wasn’t strictly practical. Oh, no reason, Robo mumbled.

      Clankbert squinted at him. Well, if you’ve got dreams, kid, don’t let ‘em rust. Just don’t forget your duties.

      Robo nodded, but his antennae drooped. Dreams were one thing. Knowing how to make them real was another.

      Later that afternoon, Robo headed back to the square, his wheels squeaking faintly on the cobblestones. He was about to sit on his usual bench when he heard a strange noise. It sounded like a cross between a steam engine and a giggle.

      Careful! That’s not supposed to fizz like that!

      Robo turned to see a young human crouched next to what could only be described as a mechanical octopus. It had eight flexible arms, each holding a different tool, and was sputtering smoke. The human, wearing oversized goggles and a jacket covered in scorch marks, didn’t seem alarmed. In fact, she looked delighted.

      Are you... okay? Robo asked hesitantly.

      The girl looked up, her face lighting up like a solar panel. Oh, hi! I’m Ada! This— she gestured to the octopus, which was now spitting sparks—is Sprocket. Don’t mind the smoke; it’s part of the process.

      What process? Robo asked, inching closer.

      The process of figuring out what went wrong, Ada replied cheerfully. You learn the most when things go wrong, you know. Oh! Are you good at fixing things? Could you help me?

      Robo blinked. He wasn’t used to people asking for his help outside the library. I... I guess I could try.

      Together, they inspected Sprocket. Robo tightened a loose bolt while Ada adjusted the wiring. As they worked, Ada asked, So, what’s your deal? You a coder, a builder, or something else?

      I’m just a fixer, Robo said, trying not to sound too disappointed.

      Just a fixer? Ada exclaimed, her goggles slipping slightly. There’s no ‘just’ about it! Fixers are like the unsung heroes of Techhaven. But... is that what you want to be?

      Robo hesitated. I want to learn how to code. I want to make things... but I don’t know how.

      Ada’s grin widened. You’re in luck, then! I’m pretty good at teaching robots. Well, when they don’t explode. Wanna give it a shot?

      Robo followed Ada to her workshop, a small but chaotic space at the edge of the square. The walls were covered in blueprints and sticky notes, and the floor was a minefield of half-finished gadgets. A small device on the desk chirped as they entered.

      Codi, meet Robo. Robo, meet Codi, Ada said, gesturing to the device.

      Hello, Robo, said a voice from the device. It was sharp, snarky, and surprisingly expressive. Another robot looking for answers? Try not to break anything.

      Robo wasn’t sure if Codi was joking or serious, but Ada laughed. Don’t mind Codi; it’s got a... unique personality. Now, let’s get started!

      Ada pulled out a holographic keyboard and projected a screen onto the wall. Coding is like speaking to machines in their language. It’s all about giving clear instructions. Watch this. She typed a few lines of code, and Sprocket’s arms waved in response.

      Robo stared in awe. That’s... incredible!

      Your turn, Ada said, handing him the keyboard.

      Robo hesitated. What if I mess up?

      Then you fix it, Ada replied. That’s part of the fun.

      It took Robo several tries, but with Ada’s guidance, he managed to write a simple command. Sprocket waved one of its arms in a jerky but triumphant motion. Robo’s antennae wiggled with excitement.

      I did it! he exclaimed.

      Ada clapped. See? You’ve got potential, Robo. And that’s just the beginning.

      Robo felt something he hadn’t felt in a long time: hope. For the first time, his dream didn’t seem so impossible. Maybe, just maybe, he could learn to code.
