The initial tasks require students to program the robot to move in a square using 8 blocks: 4 for moving forward and 4 for turning, with the final turn being optional. The type of turns can vary, as the tasks are intentionally left vague to encourage students to choose the turns themselves. Afterward, they will optimize their program by using a repeat block, reducing it to just 3 blocks, and it should look something like this:

Lesson 2 - Chichen Itza
Introduction
Today's robot will have the tough task of building a pyramid like the one in Chichen Itza!
What does the pyramid in Chichen Itza look like?
Chichen Itza was one of the largest Mayan cities, flourishing from around 600 to 1200 AD, over 1000 years ago! At its heart lies its most famous structure: the Temple of Kukulcán. Today, we'll attempt to "build" this iconic pyramid. Its unique form is known as a step pyramid due to the steps leading to the top.
The step pyramid is composed of concentric squares of varying heights. In this lesson, we will learn how to program the robot to move in a square, and then we'll work on making the squares concentric to resemble the pyramid!
