Skip to contentCourse picks for Cockburn ## Courses that teach models and their limits The bus bay project needs Python, numpy and a feel for evaluation. These courses build that understanding; a free trial chooses the starting level.

These are council-wide figures, quoted as the bureau published them after its privacy adjustments, and never added together by us. Signature project ## One neighbour, five, or forty-five? By our boundary check, 695 stop records lie inside the City of Cockburn, and 129 of them have Y in the bay field. For each stop we predicted bay or no bay from a vote of its k nearest stops, then scored the guesses two ways: on the stops the model had seen, and leaving each stop out in turn. | k | Training accuracy | Leave-one-out accuracy | Stops whose guess ever flips | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | 100% | 84.9% | 52.2% | | 5 | 89.1% | 85.2% | 62.4% | | 15 | 82.6% | 81.2% | 42.5% | | 45 | 81.4% | 81.4% | 3.7% | ### Low bias, high variance With k = 1 the model is perfect on stops it has seen, because each stop is its own nearest neighbour. On unseen stops it drops to 84.9%. ### High bias, low variance From k = 25 upward the vote is always "no bay", the answer for 81.4% of stops. The guesses never change, and they never find a bay. ### The middle At k = 5 the model scored highest on unseen stops, 85.2%. That beats always saying no bay by under four points: location alone carries only a modest signal. ### Measuring variance directly We rebuilt the model on 200 bootstrap resamples of the stops and counted how often each stop's guess changed. Up to k = 15, between 42% and 62% of stops flipped at least once. At k = 45 only 3.7% did. Stability arrived exactly when usefulness left. Stop records come from the Public Transport Authority of Western Australia open data file, which marks each stop with a bay field. We decided which stops fall inside the council with our own boundary test, measured distances on a flat metre grid, and computed every accuracy and resampling figure ourselves in numpy, seed 2026. The bay field describes the file, not a site survey. Machine learning practice ## Choosing k without fooling yourself The trade-off is general: every model has some setting that moves it between memorising and oversimplifying. | Practice | Why | Here | | --- | --- | --- | | Never judge on training data | k = 1 always scores 100% there | Hides the drop to 84.9% | | Compare with a baseline | Always guessing the majority class | 81.4% | | Scan the setting | Try a range of k values | Highest at k = 5 | | Check stability | Refit on resampled data | Flip rates of 3.7% to 62.4% | ### Primary learners Guess a classmate's favourite colour by asking one friend, then five, then the whole class, and compare. ### Secondary learners Code nearest neighbours in numpy, plot training against leave-one-out accuracy, and explain the gap. ### Adults Ask of any model at work: what is the baseline, and how does the score change on data it has not seen? Leave-one-out testing is cheap for nearest neighbours because the model stores the data and has nothing to retrain. For slower models, k-fold cross-validation does the same job. Around Cockburn ## Two rail stations and many suburbs Council-level markers from the state stops file and the WA school calendar. ### Rail Inside the council boundary, by our check, are platform records for Cockburn and Aubin Grove stations: five in all. ### School stops 42 of the 695 stop records are typed as school stops, and Rockingham Road carries the most records, 47. ### Term 4, 2027 WA public school Term 4 of 2027 starts on Monday 11 October and ends on Thursday 16 December. Council figures This page covers the City of Cockburn local government area. Stop records inside it carry many suburb labels, the most common being Hamilton Hill (82), Spearwood (62) and Bibra Lake (61). Those suburbs and the neighbouring councils of Fremantle, Melville and Kwinana have their own separate figures.

[Data Science Course](/courses/data-science-complete-masterclass-college)[AI and ML Masterclass](/courses/ai-ml-masterclass-complete-college)Coding and AI ## AI can tune the model. Can it tell you it barely helps? Only if you ask the right question. Automated tools will happily report a winning k without mentioning the baseline. An assistant asked to "tune k" will run a search and report 85.2%. Impressive on its own, less so beside the 81.4% you get by always guessing no bay. Without that comparison, a weak model sounds strong. Learners who have watched training accuracy sit at 100% while real accuracy falls know which numbers to distrust and which baseline to demand. That judgement is what turns AI output into a decision. In Cockburn, the learner who asks for the baseline knows how much a model is really worth. The longer argument is in [why teenagers should still learn to code in 2026](/blog/is-coding-worth-learning-2026). Delivery ## How Cockburn learners take part Lessons run live on video, reachable from any suburb in the council area. ### Notebooks together Teacher and learner run cells and read every score side by side. ### Term calendar Plans follow WA school terms, with holiday breaks. ### Trial at no cost A full opening lesson and a candid recommendation. ### Matched classmates Each group holds fifteen to twenty learners at the same stage; private lessons are the alternative. ### A twice-weekly rhythm The same two slots each week make roughly eight lessons monthly. ### India time Teachers work from India, so a 7pm Cockburn class begins at 4:30pm India time. Perth and India clocks Neither Western Australia, since March 2009 (IANA time zone database), nor India uses daylight saving, so the two and a half hour gap is constant. Fees ## Fees for Cockburn learners Three prices for everyone. First class**USD 0** The first lesson is free and comes with a written plan. Group tuition**USD 100** Around eight group lessons a month with fifteen to twenty learners. Private tuition**USD 150** Around eight private lessons a month with one teacher. Cockburn families pay in US dollars, after the trial and once a course and weekly time are agreed. School holidays, sick days and moving between formats are all explained on our pricing page.

FAQ ## Cockburn AI and programming questions What Cockburn families and adult learners tend to ask. ### What is the population of the City of Cockburn? The 2021 Census QuickStats count 118,091 residents in the City of Cockburn local government area, with 48,394 private dwellings and a median age of 37. ### What is the bias-variance trade-off? The tension between models that are too simple, which miss real patterns (bias), and models that are too flexible, which chase noise and change with every sample (variance). Good settings balance the two. ### What is k-nearest neighbours? A method that predicts a value for a point from the k most similar points in the data, for example by majority vote. Small k follows local detail; large k smooths towards the overall average. ### What did the Cockburn bus bay model find? Across 695 stop records, k = 5 reached 85.2% leave-one-out accuracy, against 81.4% for always guessing no bay; k = 1 scored 100% on training data but 84.9% on unseen stops. ### Can children learn AI? Yes. Six-year-olds can explore AI through Scratch games, and most learners train genuine models in Python from about thirteen. ### Do under-18s use Claude? No. Claude-based courses are for adults of 18 and over only; younger learners use other AI tools. ### Is there a classroom in Cockburn? No. Lessons are live online only, we have no Australian office, and our listed phone number is Indian. ### What do lessons cost for Cockburn 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 Cockburn group classes include Copilot Studio? No. Copilot Studio is taught only one to one; group learners write agents in Python.
