It's just a fancy word for a Plan or a Recipe that a computer follows.
Imagine you want to bake a cake. You need a list of steps:
If you mix the steps up (like eating before baking), it doesn't work! A Program is just a recipe for a computer.
Computers are not smart. They do EXACTLY what you tell them, in the EXACT order you say.
If you tell a robot to "Walk" then "Open Door", it might crash into the closed door! You have to say "Open Door" then "Walk".
Write a program to make a Pepperoni Pizza!
