The ONS counts Swanscombe, Stone, Ebbsfleet Valley, Darenth and Bean as separate built-up areas inside the borough. Pupils follow England's national curriculum; share your school's term dates and we will keep lessons out of the holidays. ### Thinking before prompting Why we teach reasoning first is set out on [learn to think, not just use AI tools](/learn-to-think-not-just-use-ai-tools-uk). The county has its own [Kent](/coding-classes-in-kent) page. The Dartford project ## A checker for invented quotations Search the book for each quote, first exactly, then approximately, and decide what to trust. The learner downloads the second volume of Francis Trevithick's biography of his father, about 16,000 lines. The first check is a plain exact search, and it fails even for a genuine sentence, because the book breaks that line in the middle, after the word "these". The fix is normalising: turning every run of spaces and line breaks into one space, straightening curly quotation marks, and ignoring capital letters. Now both genuine quotations are found exactly. For everything else the program slides a window the length of the quote across the whole book and scores how similar each window is, keeping the closest match. | Test quotation | Exact match after normalising | Top similarity score | | --- | --- | --- | | Genuine sentence about Messrs. John Hall and Sons | Yes | 1.000 | | Genuine, typed with different line breaks | Yes | 1.000 | | Year changed from 1832 to 1834 | No | 0.984 | | One word changed | No | 0.848 | | Real phrases stitched from two places | No | 0.795 | | Invented in the book's style | No | 0.512 | The invented quotation scores 0.512 and is easy to reject. The altered ones are the real test. Changing "pioneer of locomotion" to "pioneer of the railway" drops the score to 0.848. But changing one year, 1832 to 1834, in "the Waterwitch Company made experiments with those plans", leaves the score at 0.984, a figure most people would read as a match. A rule such as "accept anything above 0.9" would approve a false date. And the stitched quote, real fragments joined into a sentence the book never contains, scores 0.795, uncomfortably close to a lightly misquoted genuine line. So the learner builds a stricter checker. A quotation passes only with an exact match after normalising. A near match is reported with the book's actual wording beside it, so a person can see the difference. Any number in the quotation must appear identically in the matched text. This is exactly how a careful researcher, or a well-designed AI agent, should treat quotations: similarity is a clue for finding the passage, not proof that the quote is right. ### Ages 8 to 11 Play spot-the-difference between a real sentence from a book and a changed copy. ### Ages 11 to 15 Write a Python search that finds quotations in a text after tidying spaces and capitals. ### Ages 15 and up Add fuzzy matching, test thresholds and design rules that catch changed numbers. ### Francis Trevithick's words, our checker Genuine quotations come from Project Gutenberg's edition of the Life of Richard Trevithick, Volume 2. The altered and invented quotations were written by us for the test, and the checker and its scores are our own work. Vibe coding and AI agents ## Why AI output needs a checker Language models write fluent text; checking it is a separate job. | Detail | From the book | | --- | --- | | The firm | "Messrs. John Hall and Sons, of Dartford" | | What they did | Experimented on two of Trevithick's patents | | The name that stuck | The tubular condenser "was called Hall's Condenser" | | The boat | First tried in a boat "called the 'Dartford.'" | | A related trial | The Waterwitch Company experiments of 1832 | Vibe coding is the quickest way for many learners to build something like this checker: they describe it, an AI writes it, and it runs. Knowing that a 0.984 score can hide a wrong year is what makes the difference, and that comes from thinking, not from the tool. Our younger learners practise careful reading in the how-to-think programme, teenagers vibe code and test real projects, and older teenagers and adults build AI agents in Python that cite and check their sources; Copilot Studio agent courses are taught one-to-one only. See [understand the code, don't copy-paste](/understand-the-code-dont-copy-paste-uk) and [AI agents for UK students](/ai-agents-course-for-students-uk). Project Gutenberg and the census office have no connection with Modern Age Coders. The book and the statistics are theirs; the test quotations, the checker and any errors in them are ours. Stages ## From spot-the-difference to trustworthy AI School year gives a starting guess; the free lesson makes it precise. Years 2 to 7 ### How to think Careful reading, checking and logic. [Problem Solving and Computational Thinking for Kids](/courses/problem-solving-and-computational-thinking-for-kids)[Scratch Coding for Kids](/courses/scratch-programming-complete-course)Years 4 to 8 ### Vibe coding for kids Games and apps built with AI, then tested. [Vibe Coding for Kids](/courses/vibe-coding-for-kids-beginners-ai-scratch-game-dev)[Python and AI for Kids](/courses/python-ai-kids-masterclass)Years 9 to 13 ### Text, search and AI String matching, testing and AI beside GCSE and A level. [Vibe Coding for Teens](/courses/vibe-coding-for-teens-python-web-ai-projects-course)[AI and Machine Learning for Teens](/courses/ai-ml-masterclass-teens)Adults ### AI you can check Language models, citations and agents in Python. [Generative AI Course](/courses/complete-generative-ai-masterclass-college)[Python Automation Course](/courses/python-ai-automation-masterclass-college)AI and quotations ## Is that quote real? A similarity score finds the passage; only an exact check proves the words. An AI tool might quote the Trevithick biography with the wrong year and a perfectly natural sentence around it. A quick fuzzy search would call it a 98 percent match. A Dartford learner who has built and tested this checker knows to compare numbers and wording exactly before repeating any quotation. Being able to check whether AI output is real is one of the most useful skills a Dartford teenager can build by coding in 2026. The longer argument is in [why teenagers should still learn to code in 2026](/blog/is-coding-worth-learning-2026). How it works ## Swanscombe to Stone, all online Any home in the borough with a computer and a dependable connection can join. ### The learner works Students do the typing, prompting and testing; the tutor follows via screen share and asks the next useful question. ### Level set by the trial A Year 4 or Year 13 learner starts where the free lesson places them, with the exam board in view. ### Opening lesson free A whole lesson, no fee, ending with a straightforward suggestion. ### Stage-matched groups Five to ten UK learners progressing at a similar pace. ### Two per week School holidays stay lesson-free. ### The same hour Our tutors deal with the UK clock changes. Why the groups are online Five Dartford learners at one level who are free at one hour rarely live on the same road. Online, each can join a class that suits. Fees ## Dartford fees Dartford pays the one international rate we charge outside India. First class**USD 0** A full lesson free of charge, then a course recommendation. Group tuition**USD 100** Around eight live small-group lessons per month. Private tuition**USD 150** Around eight live private lessons per month. We charge in US dollars rather than sterling. Invoicing waits until the free lesson has chosen a course and a weekly time; breaks, missed lessons and changing between group and private are explained under pricing.
