Algorithms in everyday life

This learner video explores how algorithms make technology work all around us. It explains that algorithms are instructions that tell computers and devices what to do and when to do it.

The video helps children recognise that algorithms are not just part of coding lessons but are built into many of the technologies they use every day.
