From the physical world to the virtual world, algorithms are seemingly everywhere. David J. Malan, Professor of Computer Science at Harvard University, has been challenged to explain the science of algorithms to 5 different people; a child, a teen, a college student, a grad student, and an expert.
Correction: Our Level 2 teen, Lexi Kemmer, is actually 17-years-old.

the girl knows algorithm in age six i got the exact definition of algorithm myself only in the age 18
wow what an explaination of binary search
Journalists writing about “the algorithm” and every politicians who wants to talk about tech needs to watch the 6 year old’s explanation
Totally agree, that kid’s breakdown of algorithms as “step-by-step instructions for everyday tasks like brushing your teeth” cuts through the hype way better than any thinkpiece.
One thing that stood out: the role of culture in eye contact norms, like the “evil eye” belief. How do you recommend adapting in global virtual meetings where you can’t gauge physical cues as easily?
I like the energy of my kid
Finally! I understand algorithms! Bless you my friend.
heall yeah
Don’t let this cck sucker
near your boy children.
Ask my nephew Justin.
Each level has a specific problem to solved by an unique algorithm.

bruh this little girl understands algorithm better than me💀 (I’m an undergrad 3rd year CS student)
that 6 year old was very smart for her age!!!
algorithm:
ordered sequence of events
Circlejerk after undergrad
the 6 year old is very smart!!
❤
12:34 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
Her aura while saying I like alot of peanut butter in my bread 😂🎀😎
Hello, world 😂
Little girl for sure scripted
