1. Story — Text-Based (Day 1-2: Imagination Studio)
Read this with NO pictures first. Child becomes illustrator.
Mina loved cookies. Today she and robot Bleep baked cookies in kitchen.
Grandma’s recipe was Algorithm — step-by-step list: first mix flour, then add sugar, then add chocolate chips, then bake.
Bleep collected Data — how many cookies, how big, how long to bake. Data are small pieces of information.
Bleep’s Sensor felt warm oven. Battery full, so Bleep could help roll dough.
Mina made Pattern — one chip, then space, then chip, then space — repeats same way.
Oven talked through Network — like friends holding hands far away — to tell Bleep when ready.
Bleep saved recipe to Cloud and later Downloaded it — got it back from Cloud to device. Yummy!
