Wilnecote, Glascote, Amington, Belgrave, Kettlebrook, Stonydelph, Dosthill and Bolehall are all recorded within Tamworth district. Staffordshire schools use the national curriculum for England, and if you send us your holiday dates, no lessons will fall in them. ### Staffordshire, the region and our approach County-wide options are on [coding classes in Staffordshire](/coding-classes-in-staffordshire), and the wider picture on [our West Midlands region page](/coding-and-ai-classes-in-west-midlands-region). Why reasoning comes before prompting in every course is set out on [learn to think, not just use AI tools](/learn-to-think-not-just-use-ai-tools-uk). The Tamworth project ## A neural network built by hand on Tamworth's ages Learn the curve from even ages, predict the odd ones, and compare networks of different sizes. The learner downloads Census 2021 table TS007 for Tamworth from the Nomis API: one count for every age from 0 to 100 and over. The even ages from 0 to 90 become the training data, 46 points, and the odd ages from 1 to 89 are hidden away as the test, 45 points. The job is to learn the shape of the curve well enough to fill in the hidden ages. With no hidden layer, the model can only draw a straight line through the points, and its predictions for the odd ages are off by 207.3 people on average (the root mean square error), against a typical count of about 860 per age. A hidden layer changes that. Each hidden unit takes the age, applies a smooth S-shaped function called tanh, and passes the result on; the output adds the units together. One unit lets the line bend once, two let it bend twice, and so on. Learning happens by backpropagation: the program measures the error, works backwards through the network with the chain rule to find how each weight contributed, and nudges every weight to reduce it. For an 8-unit network the error score starts at 1.0932, falls to 0.0263 after 100 steps and 0.0029 after 10,000, and has almost stopped moving, at 0.0026, by 30,000. | Model | Error on training ages | Error on hidden ages | | --- | --- | --- | | No hidden layer (straight line) | 218.6 | 207.3 | | 1 hidden unit | 104.5 | 93.1 | | 2 hidden units | 82.6 | 73.1 | | 4 hidden units | 69.3 | 63.6 | | 8 hidden units | 34.0 | 43.6 | | 16 hidden units | 29.1 | 45.3 | | 64 hidden units | 25.4 | 46.0 | | Average of the two neighbouring even ages | n/a | 41.2 | Three lessons come out of the table. First, hidden units help a great deal at the start: from a straight line to eight units, the error on hidden ages falls from 207.3 to 43.6. Second, more is not always better. Beyond eight units the error on training ages keeps shrinking, down to 25.4 with 64 units, but the error on the hidden ages creeps back up to 46.0. The bigger network is starting to memorise the wiggles of the training points instead of the shape between them, which is called overfitting. Third, luck matters: with four units, the ten random starting points gave errors anywhere from 49.0 to 78.0. Then the humbling part. Simply averaging the two neighbouring even ages, a method a ten-year-old could do with a calculator, predicts the odd ages with an error of 41.2, better than every network in the table. For filling a gap in a smooth sequence, the neighbours already hold the answer. Neural networks earn their place on problems where no simple rule exists; a good engineer checks which kind of problem they have before reaching for one. ### Ages 8 to 11 Draw the age curve on paper, then guess missing points from their neighbours. ### Ages 11 to 15 Fit a straight line in Python and see exactly where it fails on the curve. ### Ages 15 and up Write backpropagation by hand, vary the hidden units and measure overfitting. ### Census counts, our network The single-year counts are Census 2021 figures from the Office for National Statistics, read through Nomis. The network, its training, the random starts and every error figure are our own work. From one layer to modern AI ## What this teaches about vibe coding and AI agents Scale the Tamworth network up enormously and the same trade-offs remain. | Our small network | Modern AI models | | --- | --- | | One input, one hidden layer | Many layers and a vast number of weights | | Learns by backpropagation | Also trained by backpropagation, at huge scale | | 64 units memorised training wiggles | Big models can repeat training data too | | Random starts changed the result | Training runs can differ in surprising ways | | Beaten by averaging two neighbours | The simplest tool is sometimes the right one | Knowing what sits inside a neural network helps learners use AI with their eyes open. In our vibe coding lessons, where a learner describes what they want and an AI writes the code, a Tamworth learner who asks for "a neural network to fill in missing values" will know to test it against the neighbour average before trusting it. AI agents, which choose tools and take several steps on their own, are built on these same models, so their confident output deserves the same checks. Building agents of your own waits until Python feels comfortable, typically for older teenagers and adults; for Copilot Studio agents we only run private lessons. Our [agents course page for UK learners](/ai-agents-course-for-students-uk) and the article [understand the code, don't copy-paste](/understand-the-code-dont-copy-paste-uk) go further. Modern Age Coders is independent of the Office for National Statistics, Nomis and postcodes.io. The counts and place records come from them; the network and any mistakes in it come from us. Stages ## From drawing curves to training networks School year is our first estimate; the free lesson decides where each learner actually starts.

[Generative AI Course](/courses/complete-generative-ai-masterclass-college)[Python Masterclass](/courses/python-programming-masterclass-zero-to-advanced-college)AI and size ## Is a bigger neural network always smarter? Not on Tamworth's ages: eight hidden units beat sixty-four on unseen data. The 64-unit network matched its training ages more closely than any other and still did worse on the ages it had not seen. Size bought memory, not understanding. Learners who have watched that happen, and then seen a neighbour average win, judge AI claims by tests on unseen data rather than by how large or impressive the model sounds. Having trained a network with their own code, Tamworth teenagers approach AI tools as informed users rather than fans, a very good reason to learn 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 ## Amington to Dosthill, online A computer and a reliable internet connection are all a Tamworth household needs. ### The learner codes Every line is typed, prompted and run by the student, and the tutor follows the shared screen with questions. ### Starting point by trial Year groups vary, so the free session is what fixes the first topic; exam boards get written down too. ### Free first lesson There is no fee for the introductory session, which finishes with a recommendation. ### Classes by level Five to ten UK learners at a similar stage share each group. ### Two lessons a week They pause for the school holidays. ### Times that do not drift Our tutors adjust to UK clock changes so your lesson hour stays fixed. Why lessons are online Five learners at one level who are all free at one time seldom live on the same street. Online, they can learn together anyway. Fees ## Tamworth fees Tamworth learners pay our international fee, used everywhere except India. First class**USD 0** A complete first lesson free, then our course suggestion. Group tuition**USD 100** Around eight live lessons a month in a small group. Private tuition**USD 150** Around eight live one-to-one lessons a month. Our fees are quoted in US dollars, never sterling. The first invoice follows the trial, once a course and a lesson time are agreed, and the pricing page sets out what happens with holidays, absences or a switch between group and private.
