The First Computer Bug

Division 3 has been working on coding with Code.org. We have been focusing on sequencing and algorithms with the goal to create “beautiful code,” meaning code that is efficient and straightforward. Sometimes we run into errors where our code doesn’t run as we expected, and we must review our sequence to find the “bug.”

In 1947, Grace Hopper and her team of computer scientists reported the world’s first computer bug.

It was a moth.
