What is Sequencing?

Sequencing is doing something in a particular order, kind of like a recipe.  Can you imagine getting dressed in the wrong order?  In coding, sequencing is the order that code runs, from top to bottom.

Remember, programming is teaching a computer or electronic device to behave in a certain way.  For example, our Bee-Bots go forward one time for each time you press the front arrow.

Finally, Debug is when you find an issue in your sequence that you have written and need to fix it.  This prompts the user to rethink their sequence to find errors.

We teach these computers with something called code.  The code language we use is called Blockly, which you will hear me talk about a lot in the coming years.  Today, we will be learning how to sequence code in a fun, online environment called Code.org.  Like many things in life, you will be using this to improve your problem solving and critical thinking skills.
