What are Computers for Kids | Intro to Computers | Programming for Kids

We use computers every day! But what ARE computers and how do they work? Puppet Topher meets his friend Ulka, a computer programmer, who explains to kids how computers work. This is a basic Intro to Computers and Programming for Kids - if you like this video, let us know and we'll make more videos on this topic!

In this video, you'll learn about the difference between Hardware and Software, and how to write very good computer programs by giving careful instructions. Topher writes his first computer program - How to make a Peanut Butter Sandwich. It's not quite as easy as he thinks it will be!
