Beyond the town itself, the ONS lists Wickersley and Bramley, Swinton, Swallownest and Aston, Dinnington, Brinsworth and Kiveton Park among the borough's built-up areas. Rotherham pupils follow the English national curriculum; tell us which weeks are holidays and no lesson will be booked in them. ### Thinking comes first Our reasons for teaching reasoning before AI are on [learn to think, not just use AI tools](/learn-to-think-not-just-use-ai-tools-uk). County pages sit under [South Yorkshire](/coding-classes-in-south-yorkshire). The Rotherham project ## Turning the temperature dial on Rotherham's homes Treat the census shares as a model, reshape them with softmax, and sample synthetic households. The learner downloads the census accommodation table and turns the eight counts into probabilities: 49.20 percent semi-detached, 22.31 detached, 18.16 terraced, 8.74 in purpose-built flats, and small shares for converted buildings, homes in commercial buildings and caravans, which are just 0.04 percent. A language model does something very similar with words: it gives every possible next word a probability. The temperature formula takes the logarithm of each probability, divides it by a number T, and turns the results back into probabilities with the softmax function. At T equal to 1 nothing changes. The learner then tries lower and higher values. | Temperature | Semi-detached | Detached | Caravan or temporary | Output variety (bits) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 0 (always the top choice) | 100% | 0% | 0% | 0 | | 0.5 | 72.8% | 15.0% | about 0% | 1.203 | | 1 (the census shares) | 49.2% | 22.3% | 0.04% | 1.862 | | 2 | 33.0% | 22.2% | 0.9% | 2.422 | | 5 | 20.8% | 17.7% | 4.9% | 2.862 | At temperature 0 the generator becomes greedy and every household is semi-detached, the most common answer, which is exactly why chatbots at low temperature repeat themselves. At 0.5 the big categories grow and the small ones vanish: of 1,000 sampled households, 735 are semi-detached and not one is a caravan or a converted building. At 2 the distribution flattens, and caravans jump from 0.04 to 0.9 percent, more than twenty times their real share; in 1,000 samples there are 7 of them where the census predicts almost none. At 5 nearly one household in twenty is a caravan. Higher temperature means more variety, and also more answers that are simply unrealistic. The learner finally tries top-k sampling, a common safeguard: keep only the three most likely categories and share the probability among them. Semi-detached becomes 54.9 percent, detached 24.9 and terraced 20.3, and nothing unusual can ever appear, not even the real flats. Every setting is a trade-off between faithful, boring and surprising, and the learner writes down which one they would choose for a data generator and which for a story-writing tool, and why. ### Ages 8 to 11 Draw coloured counters from bags with more or fewer rare colours and compare the results. ### Ages 11 to 15 Write a Python generator that draws homes from the census mix, then change its temperature and compare. ### Ages 15 and up Code softmax with temperature and top-k, measure entropy and justify a setting. ### Census housing, our generator Counts come from the Census 2021 table TS044, Accommodation type, on Nomis. The temperature experiments and all sampled households are our own work. Vibe coding and AI agents ## What temperature means for vibe coding and agents The same dial shapes AI-written code and AI agents' decisions. | Accommodation type | Households | | --- | --- | | Semi-detached | 56,050 | | Detached | 25,415 | | Terraced | 20,689 | | Purpose-built flats | 9,957 | | Caravan or other temporary structure | 42 | | All households | 113,924 | When a learner vibe codes, the AI writing the code is choosing each word and symbol with settings like these; a more adventurous setting can produce inventive solutions or invented functions that do not exist. AI agents face the same trade-off when they choose actions. Knowing what the dial does helps a learner read AI output with the right amount of suspicion. We build that understanding in stages: probability games in the how-to-think programme for younger children, tested vibe coding projects for teenagers, and Python-built AI agents for older students and adults, with Copilot Studio agents taught only one-to-one. See [understand the code, don't copy-paste](/understand-the-code-dont-copy-paste-uk) and [our UK students' AI agents course](/ai-agents-course-for-students-uk). Modern Age Coders has no tie to the Office for National Statistics or Nomis. The household counts are theirs, while the generator and anything it gets wrong are ours. Stages ## From counters in a bag to language models School year is a starting guess that the free lesson refines. Years 2 to 7 ### How to think Chance, patterns and logic.

[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 ### Probability and AI Probability, sampling 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 ### Generative AI How models generate, and how agents act. [Generative AI Course](/courses/complete-generative-ai-masterclass-college)[Python Automation Course](/courses/python-ai-automation-masterclass-college)AI and randomness ## Why does the same question get different answers? Because the AI is sampling, and temperature decides how boldly. At a low setting the Rotherham generator made every home semi-detached; at a high one it filled the borough with caravans. Chatbots do the same with words. A learner who has turned the dial on real data understands why AI answers vary, and why more creative settings need more checking. A Rotherham teenager who understands why AI answers wander will use these tools with more judgement than most adults, which makes coding well worth learning 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 ## Wickersley to Dinnington, online Any home across the borough needs only a computer and a stable connection. ### Learner at the helm Students do the writing, prompting and testing while the tutor follows on screen share and prompts with questions. ### Starting point set by the trial Year 4 or Year 13, the free lesson shows where to begin, keeping the exam board in mind. ### Free first lesson A full session at no charge, closing with clear advice. ### Stage-matched classes Five to ten UK learners at a similar level. ### Two sessions a week School holidays stay free. ### Steady local time Our tutors shift with the UK clocks. Why small groups work online Five Rotherham learners at the same stage, free at the same hour, rarely live near each other. Online, each gets a well-matched class. Fees ## Rotherham fees Rotherham pays the same international rate we charge in every country but India. First class**USD 0** A full trial lesson free, followed by advice on a course. Group tuition**USD 100** Around eight live small-group lessons a month. Private tuition**USD 150** Around eight live one-to-one lessons a month. Fees are set in US dollars rather than sterling. Billing starts when the trial has settled a course and weekly time, and the pricing page covers holidays, missed sessions and switching between group and private study.

FAQ ## Rotherham questions Temperature, vibe coding, AI agents and the practical side. ### What is the population of Rotherham? The 2021 census counted 265,807 in Rotherham borough; the ONS gives 71,535 for the Rotherham built-up area. ### Can Rotherham learners take coding and AI classes online? Yes. All lessons are live on video, open to ages 6 to 67 across the borough. ### What does temperature mean in AI? A setting that controls how adventurous an AI is when choosing its next word or action; low is repetitive, high is varied and riskier. ### Do you teach vibe coding? Yes, with learners planning first, then reading and testing every piece of AI-written code. ### Is there a route into building AI agents? Yes. After some Python, older learners build agents with us, and Copilot Studio is covered through private sessions. ### Do you teach in person? No, everything is online and live. ### Do you help with GCSE and A level? Yes: computer science and maths, taught so the ideas make sense, with no promise of particular grades. ### What ages can join? Learners aged 6 to 67. ### How much are lessons? Nothing for the trial. From then on: USD 100 per month for group classes, USD 150 per month for one-to-one. ### Do lessons stop in school holidays? Yes; share the dates with us.
