What is an algorithm?

This week I speak to Aziza (9 years old).We talk about what an "algorithim" is. She doesn't know but that's no problem - we define it simply as a series of steps to get something done, and we go through some examples like going to the park, or making a sandwich. We talk about how robots needs humans to programme algorithms and how important this will become in the future as robots do more clever stuff!For more fast and fun questions to get your kids talking and thinking, download the KidCoach...
