2nd Grade Q1

Theme:  Programming and Debugging

Vocabulary Words

When algorithms are run by digital devices, they are called programs.  Programs can help make our every day life much easier.  When a problem arises in a program, it is called a bug.  We need to look very carefully at the program to find the bug and fix it.  We call this debugging.
