computer programming

Algo-what? "Algorithm" might be an intimidating word, but its meaning is pretty simple. An algorithm is a set of instructions. Future programmers will learn the difference between a good algorithm and a bad one through clear, accessible examples in this inviting introduction to coding concepts. They'll also learn how algorithms are behind many of the things they do on the internet, from searching for information to making video calls. Finally, they'll be introduced to two real-life programmers, Phiwa Nkambule and Corrinne Yu, and learn how coding has led to their professional success.
