## Can I use LEGO® MINDSTORMS® Education NXT with MakeCode? #specific
The MakeCode editor only works with @boardname@. To create code for LEGO® MINDSTORMS® Education NXT, you need to [download](https://education.lego.com/en-us/downloads) the software to program it.

# Coding in MakeCode
This guide helps users who are used to work with @boardname@ to get familiar with using blocks in MakeCode.

## Snap together the blocks
Just like with LabView, blocks in the MakeCode editor can be dragged from the cabinet and snapped together
Just like in LabView, blocks in the MakeCode editor can be dragged from the cabinet and snapped together
to create a sequence of program instructions.
Take a look a the LabView program below: it **starts**, turns on motor A, waits a second, and finally stops motor A.

## Waiting (pausing)
It is quite common to have to wait for a task to finish or for a sensor state to change, such as a touch button pressed. The ``||loops:pause||`` and ``||sensors:pause until||`` blocks provide a way for your program to wait for a period of time.

## Concurrent loops
You can start up multiple ``||loops:forever||`` loops that will run at the same time. Actually, only the code in just one of the loops is really running at any exact moment in time. Each loop, though, gets a turn to run all of its code and this makes them run [_concurrently_](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concurrent_computing).
