Today we are going to have FUN with our little friend and work with words and have him type our name and say hi to us!

We will use a word variable which we call a string to customize our little friends ability to say hello to us.

Instead of typing my name in STEP 2 on line 3, as you can see below, type in your own name instead.

STEP 1: Open Mu IDE

STEP 2: Type Code

STEP 3: Click Save

STEP 4: Save File - main.py - Desktop

STEP 5: Click Flash

STEP 6: SEE THE FUN AS OUR NEW FRIEND SAYS HI TO US!

(Look at the front of the badge to see the image.)

Now that you taught our little friend to say hi to us how about you try some other words and have him say different things to us. You can try changing the below statement to something like this on line 6 to which you will SAVE and FLASH as described above.

In our next lesson we will have some FUN with word lists!
