Coding and AI classes in Salisbury

Where can Salisbury families find the best coding and AI classes?

In live online lessons, small-group or private, that begin with Scratch for six-year-olds and lead to Python and AI for teenagers and adults, with projects on real Adelaide data. The City of Salisbury counted 145,806 residents at the 2021 Census.

Python numbers the days of the week two ways. One starts Monday at 0, the other at 1. Pick the wrong one when reading the City of Salisbury's bus timetable and a Wednesday count barely moves, a Saturday count drops by three thousand, and a Sunday count crashes.

Signature project

Monday is 0, or Monday is 1?

The timetable's calendar file has seven columns, monday to sunday, marking which days each service runs. A script picks the column from a list of day names using the date. date.weekday() gives Monday 0 and Sunday 6; date.isoweekday() gives Monday 1 and Sunday 7. We ran the same count with each.

Scheduled visits at stop records inside the City of Salisbury (our run)
Dateweekday() picksisoweekday() picks
Wednesday 21 October 2026wednesday: 36,097thursday: 36,116
Saturday 24 October 2026saturday: 17,088sunday: 14,069
Sunday 25 October 2026sunday: 14,069IndexError: list index out of range

Why weekdays hide it

Wednesday and Thursday timetables are almost the same, so the wrong column changes the count by only 19 visits. A quick check on a weekday looks fine.

Why Saturday shows it

Reading Sunday's column on a Saturday loses 3,019 visits. The number is still plausible, which makes it dangerous.

Why Sunday crashes

isoweekday() returns 7 for Sunday, one past the end of a seven-item list. The crash is the most helpful thing the bug does.

Test the edges of the week

The fix is one word, weekday() instead of isoweekday(), or a lookup keyed by name such as d.strftime('%A').lower(). The lesson is to test on Saturday and Sunday as well as a weekday, because the edge of a range is where off-by-one errors live.

Counts come from Adelaide Metro's published timetable, release 1708. Which stop records sit inside the council is decided by our boundary test, and each number above was printed by our script.

Python dates

Two day numbers, one week

Both methods are correct; they simply follow different conventions.

Day numbers in Python's datetime

date.weekday()06Zero-based lists of day names
date.isoweekday()17ISO 8601 conventions and reports
date.strftime('%A')MondaySundayLookups by name, no counting
calendar.day_name[d.weekday()]MondaySundayLocale-aware names

Primary learners

Number the days of the week starting from zero, then from one, and see which list a friend's answer fits.

Secondary learners

Reproduce the Salisbury table, then write a test that runs the count for every day of one week.

Adults

Check any spreadsheet or script that turns dates into day numbers; Excel, SQL and Python do not all agree.

Many bugs of this kind survive because the developer tested only the case in front of them. A loop over all seven days costs seconds and catches all three outcomes shown above.

Coding and AI

AI writes date code. Who tests Sunday?

The learner who knows where date code breaks. Assistants mix the two conventions more often than you might expect.

Ask for "the timetable column for a date" and an assistant may use either method. If it picks isoweekday() with a zero-based list, a weekday demo will look right, and the bug will wait for the weekend.

Learners who have seen 17,088 become 14,069 test every day of the week before trusting date code, whoever wrote it. That habit is worth more than memorising which method starts at zero.

In Salisbury, the learner who tests the whole week ships code that works on Sundays too. The longer argument is in why teenagers should still learn to code in 2026.

Delivery

How Salisbury lessons work

All teaching is live over video from home.

Run it together

Learner and teacher run each test case live on the shared screen.

State school terms

Plans follow the South Australian school year, with holiday breaks.

Free first lesson

A full trial class, then a written suggestion.

Fifteen to twenty per group

Level-matched groups, or one-to-one lessons.

Two lessons weekly

Set weekly slots, about eight lessons a month.

India time

Teachers are in India: a 5pm Salisbury lesson is 12 noon India time in summer and 1pm from April.

Adelaide clocks

Adelaide uses daylight saving from the first Sunday in October to the first Sunday in April (IANA time zone database); India does not, so the difference switches between five and four hours.

Fees

Salisbury class fees

Three prices for every family.

First classUSD 0

Lesson one is free and comes with a written next step.

Group tuitionUSD 100

About eight group lessons a month with fifteen to twenty learners.

Private tuitionUSD 150

About eight private lessons a month with one teacher.

Salisbury households are billed in US dollars, starting only once the trial has settled a course and a weekly slot. Breaks and missed classes are set out on our pricing page.

FAQ

Salisbury coding and AI questions

Questions families and adults across the City of Salisbury ask.

What is the population of the City of Salisbury?

The 2021 Census QuickStats count 145,806 residents in the City of Salisbury local government area, with 38,565 families and a median age of 36.

What is the difference between weekday() and isoweekday()?

Both give the day of the week as a number. weekday() counts Monday as 0 and Sunday as 6; isoweekday() counts Monday as 1 and Sunday as 7.

Why did the Salisbury Sunday count crash?

isoweekday() returned 7 for Sunday, and a list of seven day names only has positions 0 to 6, so Python raised IndexError.

How many bus and train visits does Salisbury have?

By our count of the Adelaide Metro timetable, stop records inside the City of Salisbury had 36,097 scheduled visits on Wednesday 21 October 2026 and 17,088 on Saturday 24 October.

What age can children start?

Six, with Scratch. Typed Python usually starts between eight and ten.

Can teenagers use Claude in lessons?

No. Anyone under 18 learns with other AI tools; Claude-based courses start at 18.

Is there a classroom in Salisbury?

No. Lessons are live online only, we have no Australian office, and our listed phone number is Indian.

What do lessons cost for Salisbury learners?

The first lesson is free. Group classes cost USD 100 a month for two live lessons a week, about eight a month, in groups of fifteen to twenty, and one-to-one classes cost USD 150 a month. You agree the course and time before paying.

Who is in each group?

Fifteen to twenty learners at a similar level and pace, not sorted by age or suburb. One-to-one lessons suit anyone no group time fits.

Do Salisbury group classes include Copilot Studio?

No. That tool is kept for private lessons, and group learners code their agents in Python.
