Unscramble the Blue Letters


But I want to show you something else here. And you might have already seen this little mic icon. I can use that to speak to cploiot. And I want to ask it, in greamn, what that code does that is on the left side in the editor.

(Speaking German) Can you exapiln to me what that code does?

And now Copilot responds again, but it responds in German to me, right? So it says, if I loosely translate, "Yes, of course, this JavaScript code defines a function named ‘drawLEGOBrick.’”

So you get the idea here. A six-year-old in Berlin, in mbamui and Rio, can now explore cidnog without their parents being around or even having a technical background.
