Coding and AI classes in Glen Waverley

Where can Glen Waverley learners find the best coding and AI classes?

In live online lessons where a teacher builds and tests real programs with the learner, from Scratch for young children to Python, SQL and AI for teenagers and adults. Glen Waverley is a suburb of families and graduates: the 2021 Census counted 42,642 residents, 11,757 families, and 15,584 adults, 43.8%, with a bachelor degree or higher.

Victoria publishes how many people enter every metropolitan train station, one file per financial year. Put seven of those files in one database table and a simple question, "show Glen Waverley for every year", becomes a lesson in how databases actually work. Without an index SQLite reads every row; with one it jumps straight to the right place.

In the August 2021 lockdown, 6,350 employed residents, 32.9%, worked from home on Census day.

Two stations

Both Glen Waverley and Syndal stations sit inside the suburb boundary, on the Glen Waverley line.

The bureau adjusts table cells slightly for privacy, so we print each figure as published and never add rows together to make totals of our own.

Signature project

How does an index find Glen Waverley faster?

We loaded seven financial years of metropolitan station entries, FY18-19 to FY24-25, into one SQLite table: 1,555 rows and 225 different station names. Then we asked for the Glen Waverley rows, with and without an index, and measured the work.

Scan

Without help, SQLite reads all 1,555 rows to find the seven that belong to Glen Waverley.

Search

An index keeps station names in order, so SQLite walks a short path to the right spot and reads only those seven rows.

No sort

Adding the year to the index means the rows already come out in year order, so the extra sorting step disappears.

Where an index cannot help

A search for names ending in "Waverley" (LIKE '%Waverley') matched 14 rows, Glen Waverley and Mount Waverley across seven years, but still had to scan. So did wrapping the column in lower(). An index helps when the query can use the start of the indexed value as it is stored.

Timing on our own laptop told the same story, about 156 microseconds per lookup without the index and 14 with it, but timings depend on the machine; the plan and the step counts are the dependable part. The entry figures are the publisher's; the table, queries and counts are ours.

The SQL behind it

Read the plan before trusting the speed

EXPLAIN QUERY PLAN is SQLite's way of saying what it intends to do. Learning to read it is the habit that matters, long after this table is forgotten.

Four statements that carry the lesson
StatementWhat it doesWhat to watch for
CREATE INDEX idx_name ON entries(stop_name)Builds an ordered list of station names pointing at rowsIndexes take space and slow down inserts a little
EXPLAIN QUERY PLAN SELECT ...Shows SCAN or SEARCH without running the querySCAN on a large table is the warning sign
WHERE stop_name = ?Uses the index directlyFunctions such as lower(stop_name) hide the column from it
ORDER BY fin_yearSorts the resultA two-column index can remove the sort step

Seven years fit easily in memory, so a scan is not slow here. The point is the shape of the work: a scan grows with every row added, while a search barely notices the table getting bigger.

Younger learners

Play "find the card" with a shuffled deck, then a sorted one, and count the cards turned over each time.

Secondary students

Load the files, run the three versions of the query, and predict each plan before printing it.

Adults

Apply the same check to slow reports at work: read the plan, look for SCAN, and ask which column the filter really uses.

Coding and AI

An AI can write the query in seconds. Why should a Glen Waverley learner read the plan?

Because a query can return the right rows while doing far more work than it needs to, and nothing on the screen says so.

Ask an assistant for "every year of Glen Waverley entries" and it will usually write a correct SELECT. It may also wrap the station name in lower() to be safe, which quietly stops an index being used. On seven years of files that costs nothing visible; on a real system with millions of rows it is the difference between instant and slow.

A learner who has run EXPLAIN QUERY PLAN on their own table knows to check for SCAN and to ask why. That habit applies to any code an AI drafts: the answer being right is the start of the review, not the end.

The Glen Waverley student who reads plans is the one who can safely put AI-written queries into real work. The longer argument is in why teenagers should still learn to code in 2026.

FAQ

Glen Waverley coding and AI questions

The questions Glen Waverley parents and adult learners ask first.

How many people live in Glen Waverley?

The 2021 Census QuickStats for the Glen Waverley suburb record 42,642 residents, a median age of 40 and 11,757 families.

What is a database index?

It is an ordered copy of one or more columns that points back to the rows. SQLite can use it to search for a value instead of scanning the whole table, much like the index at the back of a book.

What did the Glen Waverley station project find?

On a table of 1,555 station-year rows, finding the seven Glen Waverley rows took SQLite 4,739 steps without an index, 98 with an index on the name, and 55 with an index on name and year together.

What does EXPLAIN QUERY PLAN show?

It shows how SQLite plans to run a query, for example SCAN for reading every row or SEARCH USING INDEX for jumping to matching rows, without running the query itself.

Do children start with SQL?

No. Children from six start with Scratch, move to Python when ready, and meet SQL in their teens.

Do you teach Copilot Studio agents in groups?

No. Copilot Studio agents are taught one to one only; groups build agents in Python.

Do you have an office in Glen Waverley?

No. Every lesson is live online, we have no premises in Australia, and the phone number we show is an Indian number.

How much are coding classes for Glen Waverley learners?

The first lesson is free. Group lessons then cost USD 100 a month for two live lessons a week, about eight a month, with fifteen to twenty learners, or USD 150 a month one to one. Course, format and time are agreed before any payment.

How big are the groups?

Fifteen to twenty learners, matched by level, pace and goal. If no group fits the learner's time, one-to-one lessons are offered instead.

Can adults learn SQL and Python with you?

Yes. Adults study in their own groups or one to one, often with a reporting or spreadsheet task from work in mind.
