Kavi's Juice Plan
Kavi the owl wants a cup of juice 🧃. "First get a cup, then pour the juice, then drink!" hoots Kavi. When Kavi tries to pour BEFORE getting the cup, the juice spills everywhere! "A plan is a list of steps in order," says Kavi. "Do them one at a time, from first to last — that is called an algorithm, and even a machine follows steps that way!"
