AI and programming classes in Wentworthville

What should AI and programming classes teach Wentworthville learners?

How to build models and, just as important, how to test them honestly. We teach live online in small groups, from Scratch at six to Python and machine learning for teenagers and adults. Wentworthville covers about 3.12 square kilometres; the 2021 Census counted 15,098 residents, median age 33.

Fit a model to Wentworthville station's monthly entries and the score can look superb: 0.934 on the standard measure, R squared, meaning 93.4% of the up-and-down is explained. Hide the last six months, refit on the rest and score those six, and the same kind of model gets 0.699 or minus 0.984, depending only on which average you compare it with. Both numbers are correct. Learning why is the most useful hour a future AI builder can spend.

Signature project

Four models and three R squared scores

The data is 23 months of entries at Wentworthville station, from 68,953 in January 2025 to 97,307 in March 2026. Each model is fitted by least squares on October 2024 to February 2026 and then asked to predict March to August 2026.

R squared and error for each model (our NumPy run)

Overall average0.000-5.5980.0007,331
Straight-line trend0.094-7.218-0.2468,334
Month of the year0.875-2.4110.4835,103
Trend and month0.934-0.9840.6993,865

Seen data flatters

With 13 parameters and 23 points, the trend-and-month model scores 0.934 in-sample. Any model with that many knobs can follow the data it has already seen.

The baseline decides

R squared compares your errors with those of a plain average. Against the held-out months' own average the trend-and-month model scores -0.984; against the training average, 0.699.

Negative is allowed

A negative R squared means the model did worse than the chosen average. The straight-line trend does worse than either average on the held-out months.

Which number would a library print?

scikit-learn's r2_score(y_test, y_pred) uses the mean of y_test as its baseline, so it reports the -0.984 figure. That baseline knows the test period's average in advance, which a forecaster never does.

Entry counts are Transport for NSW monthly Opal figures; the models, scores and errors are our own calculation. We give no reason for any month being high or low.

Reporting a model

What a fair report on the model includes

Learners finish by writing the report a careful reader would want, using Wentworthville and its neighbours for scale.

Wentworthville87,15958th of 270
Pendle Hill70,99968th

Children

Guess tomorrow's classroom temperature from a week of readings, then check the guess and say how far off it was.

Teenagers

Fit the four models, hold out six months and report every score with its baseline named.

Adults

Ask any vendor or analyst which data their accuracy was measured on, and against what.

Transport for NSW releases the station figures under a Creative Commons licence and is unconnected with Modern Age Coders.

Schools and the school year

Four state schools across two councils

The NSW school locations file lists four government schools with a Wentworthville address, two in Cumberland council and two in City of Parramatta.

Honest evaluation

Validation, error measures and reports decision makers can trust.

Data Science CourseStatistics & Probability
Coding and AI

High scores on seen data are easy to come by

This is the most common way AI results mislead, and it needs no bad intent.

An assistant asked to model Wentworthville's entries will happily fit the trend-and-month model and report R squared 0.934. Nothing in the output says the score was measured on the same months used for fitting, or that a fair test gives a very different number.

Learners who have produced all three scores themselves ask two questions of any reported accuracy: tested on what, and compared with what. Those two questions are most of model evaluation.

In 2026 anyone can fit a model with one prompt; Wentworthville learners who can test one honestly will be the ones others rely on. The longer argument is in why teenagers should still learn to code in 2026.

FAQ

Wentworthville AI and programming questions

What Wentworthville families tend to ask.

How many people live in Wentworthville?

The 2021 Census QuickStats for the Wentworthville suburb and locality counted 15,098 residents, median age 33, in 3,926 families and 5,721 private dwellings.

What is R squared?

It is one minus the model's squared errors divided by the squared errors of a plain average. A score of 1 is perfect, 0 matches the average, and below 0 is worse than the average.

Why can the same model get different R squared scores?

Because the score depends on which data it is measured on and which average it is compared with. In the Wentworthville project one model scores 0.934, 0.699 and -0.984.

How busy is Wentworthville station?

From October 2024 to August 2026 it averaged 87,159 entries a month in Transport for NSW figures, 58th of 270 train stations with complete data by our calculation.

Which state schools have a Wentworthville address?

Wentworthville Public School and Pendle Hill Public School in Cumberland council, and Darcy Road Public School and Pendle Hill High School in City of Parramatta.

What age can learners start?

Scratch from six. Model-testing projects like this one suit learners from about 14 who know some Python.

What setup is needed at home?

A keyboard computer such as a laptop, desktop or Chromebook, a working microphone and sound, and a dependable internet link.

Do you run classes in Wentworthville itself?

No. We teach only online and have no premises anywhere in Australia, including Wentworthville. Our contact phone number is an Indian number.

How much do Wentworthville lessons cost?

The first lesson is free. A group place is USD 100 a month for two live lessons a week, about eight a month, with fifteen to twenty learners; one-to-one is USD 150 a month on the same plan. Nothing is charged before a course and time are agreed.

How big are the groups?

Fifteen to twenty learners, grouped by level and goals rather than age. If no group fits the learner's schedule, one-to-one lessons are offered instead.
