Coding classes in Ballymun

What are the best coding classes in Ballymun?

Every Ballymun learner is taught live on a video call by a teacher, in a small same-level group or alone with the teacher, typically on two days a week, and they can be any age from six to sixty-seven. There is no journey involved. No fee applies to the first lesson; later months are billed at USD 100 in a shared group or USD 150 with a teacher to oneself.

Dublin City Council's sound monitor in Ballymun recorded the noise level every five minutes through 2015, as its monitor in Drumcondra did. Each reading comes with three numbers: an average level, the level exceeded 10 percent of the time, and the level exceeded 95 percent of the time. Compare the two places on the average alone and Ballymun is about 7.5 decibels louder at night. Compare them on the quiet background and the gap shrinks to 1.77. Compare them on the peaks and it grows to 12.49. This page teaches a learner why one number cannot describe a difference, and how the three together do.

Louder how? Ballymun and Drumcondra by background and by peaks

Both series are Dublin City Council's 2015 files from its ambient sound monitors, one reading every five minutes. Night means readings that start between 23:00 and 07:00. Levels are in A-weighted decibels, and the council defines L10 and L95 as the levels exceeded for 10 percent and 95 percent of the time.

Nights in 2015: the same comparison three ways (decibels)
MeasureBallymunDrumcondraGap
Energy average (Leq)57.9850.507.48
Peaks: median of L1062.6650.1712.49
Background: median of L9546.6544.881.77

Almost the same background

On a typical night the level the Ballymun monitor stays above 95 percent of the time is 46.65 decibels, against 44.88 in Drumcondra. Measured by that steady floor, the two places are nearly alike after dark.

Very different peaks

The level exceeded 10 percent of the time tells another story: 62.66 at Ballymun against 50.17 at Drumcondra, a gap of 12.49 decibels. Whatever the difference between the nights is, it lives in the louder moments, not the background.

The average blurs both

The energy average puts the gap at 7.48, between the other two. It is a correct number that hides the shape: it cannot say whether a place is louder all the time or louder in bursts, and those are very different nights.

One number summarises; several describe

An average answers one question and throws the rest away. Readings that come with percentiles let a learner ask two more: what is the floor, and how high do the peaks reach? When two places differ, comparing each percentile separately shows where they differ, and the distance between the peaks and the floor, here L10 minus L95, shows how steady or bursty each place is.

The learner's program reads both years of daily text files, applying the same care as for any messy sensor file: tabs where commas were expected, a repeated hour when the clocks go back, and overlapping files. It keeps 104,254 Ballymun readings, 99.2 percent of the year, and checks a rule that must always hold, that the background level can never exceed the peaks or the average, which no reading breaks at either site. It then summarises each hour of the day with the median L95, the median L10 and the energy average, and compares the places hour by hour. The comparison turns up a mirror image: at Ballymun the gap between peaks and background is widest in the small hours, about 16 decibels at 2 am, and narrowest around midday, near 10; at Drumcondra it is narrowest at 2 am, 3.4, and widest in the evening.

The whole year

Over all of 2015 the Ballymun monitor's energy average was 63.02 decibels, its typical peak level 66.54 and its typical background 54.65. Every one of those is higher than at Drumcondra, so here the three measures agree on which place is louder; they disagree about by how much.

Steady or bursty

A small gap between L10 and L95 means the level barely changes; a large one means quiet stretches broken by louder ones. Drumcondra's nights are steady, Ballymun's are bursty, and the average alone would have painted both the same way.

What the readings cannot say

The monitors record levels at one point each, not what made the sound. The page describes the two sites and the shape of their readings, and makes no claim about the sources of noise in either place.

Ballymun, named

Ballymun from its library, arts centre, park and Boiler House

Each fact is taken from the body that runs the place.

The Rediscovery CentreThe Boiler House, Ballymun Road, D09 HK58
Council sound monitor53.398888 N, 6.264610 W, a reading every five minutes

Library and park

The council lists Ballymun Library as open 10:00 to 20:00 Monday to Thursday, with an induction loop and full wheelchair access. Nearby Poppintree Park has an amphitheatre, a feature pond and a native tree trail in English or Irish.

Axis

Axis describes itself as an arts and community centre on Main Street with a theatre, dance studio, gallery, recording studio, music rehearsal rooms and a conference centre, open 8am to 8pm on weekdays.

The Boiler House

The Rediscovery Centre calls itself the National Centre for the Circular Economy. From the Boiler House on Ballymun Road it runs social enterprises that recondition furniture, bicycles, paint and clothing.

What this page does not claim

No population is given for Ballymun, since the page uses only what named bodies publish about the place. The sound figures describe one monitor in 2015 at the position the files give, and nothing here names a source of noise.

Learning here

Two lessons in a Ballymun learner's week

A normal week holds two lessons, each taught live by the teacher throughout.

Children

The youngest learners work in block code with sound games that pick out the quietest, loudest and most usual moment in a list.

Teenagers

Older students go on to Python, web pages, AI work and real council sensor files, letting the code do the percentile arithmetic.

Adults

Adults can join with no background; the first lesson settles the course.

The 2015 readings come from Dublin City Council's open data portal, and every median, percentile, energy average and site comparison on this page is our own working, done on 20 September 2026. Library and park details are the council's, and the arts centre and Boiler House details come from their own websites.

Data and AI Analytics for Non-Programmers (Excel, Sheets, Power BI)Data Analysis Course
Coding and AI

Ask an assistant which place is noisier

It will compare averages. Averages answer only part of the question.

Give an AI assistant both monitors' files and ask which place is noisier at night, and it will likely average the levels and report that Ballymun is louder by about seven and a half decibels. True, and incomplete: it does not say that the quiet background is almost identical, or that the whole difference sits in the louder moments.

The learner who has built this project asks for the background and the peaks separately, hour by hour, and for the gap between them. An assistant can then help draw the chart; the learner already knows which question the chart has to answer.

An average tells you how much. Percentiles tell you where. Good analysis reports both. The longer argument is in why every learner should try coding at least once.

FAQ

Ballymun coding class questions

What Ballymun families tend to ask.

Is there a Modern Age Coders centre in Ballymun?

No. Every lesson is live on video, and we have no premises in Ireland. The learner needs a computer, a microphone and sound, and a dependable connection. The number shown on this page is in India.

What is the sound monitor project?

The learner compares Dublin City Council's 2015 sound readings from Ballymun and Drumcondra three ways. At night the energy average puts Ballymun 7.48 decibels louder, the background (L95) only 1.77, and the peaks (L10) 12.49, so the difference sits in the louder moments.

Does the page say what the noise in Ballymun is?

No. The monitor measures levels at one spot and cannot identify sources. The page reports the readings and their shape only.

Why is there no population figure for Ballymun?

This page prints only facts that named organisations publish about Ballymun itself: Dublin City Council, Axis and the Rediscovery Centre. None of them publishes a head count.

What are the lesson times?

Weekdays after school and into the evening, and weekend daytimes. We schedule in Irish time. Because the teaching team sits in India, the clock gap with Ballymun is five and a half hours from late October to late March and four and a half for the rest of the year, and every slot we list is one that suits both sides.

Can an adult learn with you?

Yes, at any age up to sixty-seven and from any starting point. After the free lesson an adult chooses a same-level group or private lessons.

Will my child be with other children from Ballymun?

Possibly, but groups are made by level, so the rest of the class may be anywhere in Ireland or beyond.

What do coding classes in Ballymun cost?

The first lesson is free. Then a group place costs USD 100 a month for about eight live lessons, two a week, with five to ten learners, and one-to-one lessons on the same schedule cost USD 150 a month. Terms are agreed before any payment.

How many learners are in a group?

Five to ten, grouped by level, pace and goals rather than by age or address. If no group runs at a workable time, lessons are one to one.
