Python and AI for Kids
Blocks for as long as they help and typed Python from about nine, in the same session. The point of the year is that a red error message stops being alarming and becomes boring.

Upskill Bahamas launched in November 2025 with more than forty courses from Harvard, Oxford and Columbia, free, and ten thousand Bahamians signed up within weeks. Eligibility starts at sixteen. So if you are a parent in Nassau who has just been told by your own government that AI and coding are the skills that matter, and your child is nine or twelve or fourteen, you have been given the message and no way to act on it. This is a twelve-month weekly programme that starts at six.

In short
Modern Age Coders runs a live online twelve-month Python and AI track for learners in Nassau and across New Providence, aged six to sixty-seven, in batches of five to eight or one to one. Students write real Python, handle real data, train and measure models, build agents and publish on GitHub, with individual progress tracking and a written update to the parent every month. Sessions are ninety minutes, weekly, and the main slots are Saturday and Sunday mornings in Nassau because of the time difference, which this page sets out in full. Group teaching is USD 100 a month, private teaching USD 150, and the first class is free.
The reason this page exists
This is the single most useful thing a Bahamian parent of a younger child can know, and as far as we can tell nobody has written it down.
On 14 November 2025 the Prime Minister launched Upskill Bahamas, a free national online learning platform. It is not a token gesture. It carries more than forty courses from over thirty institutions including Harvard, Oxford and Columbia, covering technology, business, finance and artificial intelligence, with certificates at no cost. Within weeks, 10,000 Bahamians had registered across twenty-seven courses, and the popular fields included Artificial Intelligence.
Read that as what it is: the state has told every household in the country, loudly and with money behind it, that these are the skills that matter now. And it is right to.
Now the detail that changes everything for a family with a twelve year old. Eligibility for Upskill Bahamas begins at age sixteen.
That is a perfectly sensible design decision for a workforce upskilling programme. It also means that the most visible, most credible, most heavily promoted digital-skills initiative in Bahamian history is closed to every child in primary school and every student in the lower years of high school. A parent in Nassau has been handed maximum awareness and, for their own child, no route.
That gap is the whole of what we do. Not a holiday camp, not a club: a continuous weekly programme that starts at six and runs to sixty-seven, so a child who is nine now arrives at sixteen already able to build rather than starting then.
There is a second piece of the same picture, and it comes from the Department of Labour rather than from us. Its own material identifies AI programmers, Coding Specialists, Automation Engineers, Cyber Security Specialists and Data Analysts as emerging occupations associated with automation. Its Online Skills Bank reports more than 126,000 registered users and over 4,000 companies recruiting. The demand signal is not speculative and it is not ours; it is published by the government that runs the labour market.

The operational fact nobody publishes
We would rather lose a booking than take one we cannot honour. So here is the arithmetic in full, including the times we cannot teach.
| Nassau local time | Same moment in India | Can we teach it? |
|---|---|---|
| Weekday 16:00 to 19:00 | 02:30 to 05:30, next day | No. We will not pretend otherwise |
| Weekday 07:00 to 08:00 | 17:30 to 18:30 | Yes, and it suits one to one |
| Saturday 08:00 to 11:00 | 18:30 to 21:30 | Yes. This is the main offer |
| Sunday 08:00 to 11:00 | 18:30 to 21:30 | Yes |
| Saturday 14:00 | 00:30, next day | No |
Weekday after school. If a provider offers your child a four o'clock Tuesday and teaches from Asia, ask them what time that is at their end. In our case it is half past two in the morning, and a teacher at half past two in the morning is not the teacher you are paying for. We do not offer it.
That is an unusual thing to put on a sales page and it is the most useful sentence on this one. Almost every disappointing experience with an overseas online provider starts with a slot that was sold and could not be sustained.
Weekend mornings, which turn out to be close to ideal. Eight o'clock on a Saturday in Nassau is half past six in the evening for the teacher: a normal working hour, alert, at the start of their session rather than the end of a long day. A great many Bahamian families also prefer a Saturday morning to a rushed weekday evening.
Early weekday mornings work too, seven to eight before school, and those go to one to one students because a group is hard to assemble at that hour. That is covered on the one to one page.
One more promise: the Bahamas changes its clocks in March and November and India never does, so the gap moves twice a year. Your slot stays where it is. The shift is absorbed at our end, and you will not be asked to move a Saturday morning because of daylight saving.
Why New Providence
The 2022 census put 296,522 people on New Providence, which is 74.26 per cent of the national population, up 4.17 percentage points on 2010. Nassau is where the households, the schools and the economic activity concentrate, and it is where most of the enquiries we receive from the Bahamas come from.
The rest of the country is covered on the Bahamas page, which makes a different and in some ways stronger argument, because for a family on a Family Island the alternative to online is not a longer drive.
The other reason to be confident about delivery here is dull and decisive. Access to electricity is 100 per cent, internet penetration was 94.8 per cent at the start of 2025 with 381,000 users, and GDP per head was US$39,455 in 2024. This is a wealthy, connected, English-speaking market. Nothing about the infrastructure is the obstacle, which is precisely why the obstacle is provision.

The catalogue
Three separate curricula rather than one course delivered at three speeds. Every card opens the full syllabus. Which one a learner starts on is settled in the free first class, not by their age and not by a form.

What these systems are doing when they answer, and the three checks a ten year old can run on an answer before repeating it. Aimed at judgement rather than at any one product.

The starting point under about nine. Order, repetition, and the first experience of something not working and being fixed, which is the whole foundation everything later stands on.
Open the syllabusBS / TEEN / 01
Quarter one of the track for a student arriving with nothing, and it keeps going long after. Files, functions, tracebacks, and the ability to start from an empty screen.

Quarter three, extended. Every model here is measured in a unit a parent could check and set against a baseline it had to beat before anyone was allowed to believe it.

Quarter two, and the reason quarter three works. Files that arrive broken, categories spelled two ways, and a number stored as text that still looks like a number.
Open the syllabusBS / TEEN / 04
Where the portfolio comes from. Committing as the work happens is what produces twelve months of dated history, and dated history is the one part of student work nobody can fake at the end.
Open the syllabusBS / TEEN / 05
Building with an agent and then auditing every line it returned, which is the skill that separates operating these tools from being operated by them. Own subscriptions required.
Open the syllabusBS / PRO / 01
The adult version of the whole ladder: methods with and without labels, deeper architectures, and an evaluation habit that holds up when somebody sceptical asks how you know.
Open the syllabusBS / PRO / 02
Retrieval over your own documents, and the bounded, logged, loudly failing agent that this whole programme insists on. Built rather than prompted, which is the distinction throughout.
Open the syllabusBS / PRO / 03
Statistics, SQL and modelling arranged around one output: work a hiring manager can assess without your help, which is the same test the student track applies to a sixteen year old.
Open the syllabusBS / PRO / 04
For an adult with one task rather than a syllabus. The reconciliations, reports and repeated spreadsheet work already sitting on the desk, automated and then handed over.
Open the syllabusBS / PRO / 05
What timed contests and technical interviews both reward, and why a solution that handles a thousand rows can fail at ten million. Reasoned through rather than memorised.
Open the syllabusBS / PRO / 06
The full version of the habit, for work that other people have to maintain. Branching, review and history that survives more than one author touching it.
Open the syllabusWhat a year actually contains
The thing we sell is not a course, it is a year. Individual progress tracking, real projects, competitions used as deadlines, a public GitHub portfolio, and a written note to the parent every month.
A record per student rather than per class: which concepts are solid, which were shaky last month, and what the next session is for. It exists so that a teacher returning after a holiday does not restart from a guess.
Every quarter ends in something that runs. The subject is chosen by the student from something they can check the answer to, which is the single strongest predictor of a project being finished rather than abandoned.
Not because a medal matters, but because a fixed external date is the only thing that reliably finishes student work. We use them as forcing functions and we make no promises about selection.
Commits from the first weeks, so a year of work is visible as a history rather than claimed in a sentence. For a Bahamian student applying abroad this is the asset that crosses water without losing anything.
Plain English, a few hundred words: what was covered, what the student found hard, what they built, and what we would like them to do next. No dashboard to log into and no score out of ten.
The same person for the twelve months, which is the part a camp structurally cannot offer. Most of the value in a long programme is that somebody remembers what happened in month three.
Each of those five is a page of its own, because each is a promise somebody should be able to hold us to: the track month by month, the portfolio, competitions as deadlines, the machine learning stage, and why a year beats a week. Where it sits against school examinations is on the BJC and BGCSE page.

Questions from Nassau
No, and we would rather say so plainly than sell you a slot we cannot staff properly. Our teachers are in India, which is nine and a half to ten and a half hours ahead of Nassau depending on the season, so four in the afternoon here is half past two in the morning there. What works is Saturday and Sunday mornings, which land in the early evening for the teacher, and seven to eight on a weekday morning before school for one to one students.
No, and the two do not overlap. Upskill Bahamas is a free government platform launched in November 2025 with more than forty courses from institutions including Harvard, Oxford and Columbia, and it is open to Bahamians aged sixteen and older. If your child is sixteen or over, use it; it is excellent and it is free. This is a paid, continuous, individually tracked weekly programme for ages six to sixty-seven, and it exists mainly because nothing in that platform reaches a child of nine or twelve.
A group batch of five to eight students is USD 100 a month and one to one teaching is USD 150 a month, billed in US dollars, the same flat figures everywhere outside India. There is no enrolment fee, no annual contract, and the first class is free without a card.
None in Nassau and none anywhere in the Bahamas. Every session is a live video call taught from India, and the telephone number on this page rings in India. What is needed at your end is a computer with a keyboard, a connection that carries ninety minutes of video, working audio and a reasonably current browser. Internet penetration here was 94.8 per cent at the start of 2025, so for most families that is already in place.
Continuity and a record. Camps and clubs are good at ignition and we have no criticism of them; a child who has enjoyed one usually starts here with better instincts. What they cannot structurally provide is the same teacher for twelve months, a written progress record, and a repository whose commits are dated across a year. A skill met in July and not touched until the following July is re-learned rather than built.
It is the normal starting point and it is why the first class is free. A learner attempts one problem chosen for their age while the teacher watches how they approach it, and fifteen minutes of that settles the level far more reliably than any form. If your child has done blocks at school or at a club, that helps, and we will still place them by what they can actually do rather than by what they have attended.
Yes, and for the Bahamas that is simply the ordinary case rather than a feature we need to explain. It also happens to suit the subject: the libraries, the documentation, the error messages and the research are all in English, so nothing a student learns here has to be translated later.
A public link and a repository. Something running at an address a stranger can open, the code readable on GitHub with commits going back across the twelve months, an error figure stated in a unit you can check, and a short honest note about what it does not do. That last part is what makes it read as engineering rather than as a demonstration.
Six to sixty-seven. Adults are a routine part of the intake rather than an exception, and in the Bahamas the common pattern is somebody wanting to automate work they currently do by hand, which suits one to one because the syllabus bends entirely around the task. Those goals usually finish inside a few months rather than running for a year.
A mentor telephones you at a Bahamian hour to arrange the free session. No card is requested and nothing is charged. To be plain about what sending it does: it opens a conversation rather than an enrolment, and it holds no place in any batch. The stage, the format and the weekend slot are all agreed on that call before money is mentioned.
Start here
The free first session is a lesson rather than a sales call. A learner attempts a single problem chosen for their age while the teacher reads the approach rather than the result, and it is also where we check that your connection will carry a year of this. What comes back afterwards is specific enough to argue with: this stage, this format, this Saturday slot, and the reasoning behind each. If the honest recommendation is to wait a year, that is what you will hear.
Rather read first? The twelve-month track in detail, coding for younger children in Nassau, or how we teach.
