DC motor in Arduino Engineering Kit does not turn

[Electronic_newbie]

I am in section 3.5 and ran the following command lines. The code ran fine but the motor does not turn. I've double checked the motor shield connections. Picture of connections attached. One disclaimer: Instead of using the nano 33 IOT that came with the kit, I used a new one.

clear a
a=arduino
carrier = motorCarrier(a)
dcm = dcmotor(carrier,'M1')
start(dcm)
dcm.Speed = 0.5;

The code ran fine

Show the code.

@Electronic_newbie

the motor does not tur

Show a wiring diagram.

Failing motors isually mean power and wiring problems.

A wiring diagram would be great. I've googled and given up looking for information on the circuit for the shield shown in the pic.
Not really a great introduction to engineering!

Close to Area 51?

What do the instructions say?
