Darlaston and Streetly are left out here because their built-up areas cross into neighbouring boroughs. Walsall schools teach the national curriculum for England; share your half-term dates and no lessons will be booked in them. ### Wider pages and why thinking comes first For the whole county see [coding classes in the West Midlands](/coding-classes-in-the-west-midlands), and for the region [our West Midlands region page](/coding-and-ai-classes-in-west-midlands-region). Our case for reasoning before prompting is on [learn to think, not just use AI tools](/learn-to-think-not-just-use-ai-tools-uk). The Walsall project ## Word embeddings from the Annals of Willenhall Count which words appear together, turn the counts into vectors, then ask what sits nearest to "lock". The learner strips the Project Gutenberg header and footer, lowercases the text, keeps only letters and drops single letters. That leaves 59,238 words, 8,224 of them different, of which 745 appear ten or more times; those 745 form the vocabulary. For every vocabulary word the program counts which other vocabulary words appear within four places of it. Each word is now a row of co-occurrence counts, a first, crude embedding, and two words can be compared by the angle between their rows, a measure called cosine similarity that runs from 0 for nothing in common up to 1. | Word | Six nearest neighbours | | --- | --- | | lock | year, of, was, however, at, last | | church | in, and, for, which, by, being | | walsall | town, one, in, two, and | The raw counts produce nonsense, and the reason is frequency. Words such as "the", "of" and "and" appear next to almost everything, so they dominate every row and make every word look like every other. The fix is a weighting called positive pointwise mutual information, PPMI for short, which asks whether two words appear together more often than their separate frequencies would predict, and keeps only the pairs that do. With PPMI weighting the neighbours change completely. | Word | Nearest neighbours | | --- | --- | | lock | making 0.342, carpenter 0.279, young 0.262, keys 0.255, not 0.246, key 0.242 | | locks | industry, key, trade, are, keys, various | | iron | brass, founder, master, key, lock, patent | | church | st, parish, collegiate, the, wolverhampton, willenhall | Most of that looks sensible, yet two neighbours of "lock" deserve a second look. "Carpenter" is not about woodwork: it is James Carpenter, whose name appears within four words of "lock" five times in the book. "Young" is not about age either. Because the text was lowercased, the surname in "the Carpenter and Young invention" was merged with the ordinary word "young". The model has no way to tell a name from a meaning; it only knows which words keep company. A learner who spots this has found, in miniature, why AI systems sometimes link things for reasons nobody intended. | Method | Town neighbours found | Of which "willenhall" or "wolverhampton" | | --- | --- | --- | | Raw counts | 15 of 65 | 11 | | PPMI weighting | 14 of 65 | 3 | A quick score makes the two methods look almost equal, 15 against 14. Opening up the results tells a different story. In the book, "willenhall" is used 504 times and "wolverhampton" 216, far more than any other town on the list, so the raw method lists them next to almost every place name for the same reason it lists "the". Eleven of its fifteen hits are those two words. PPMI finds a wider mix of genuine town pairs, such as "darlaston" beside "wednesbury". Checking what sits behind a score, and not only the score, is the habit this project is built to teach. ### Ages 8 to 11 Play odd one out with word cards, then explain in a sentence what the others share. ### Ages 11 to 15 Count word neighbours in Python and list the most common company a word keeps. ### Ages 15 and up Build PPMI vectors, rank neighbours by cosine and design a fair test of the result. ### Hackwood's text, our vectors The book is the Project Gutenberg transcription of The Annals of Willenhall by Frederick Wm. Hackwood. The word counts, the embeddings, the similarity scores and the town test are our own work. From word counts to AI ## What this teaches about vibe coding and AI agents Big systems use far better embeddings, and meet the same questions. | Our small embeddings | Embeddings in modern AI | | --- | --- | | Learned from one 1908 book | Learned from enormous amounts of text | | Counts of nearby words, reweighted | Learned by training a neural network | | Merged a surname with the word "young" | Can still link things for unintended reasons | | Frequent words swamped the raw counts | Need weighting and care with common words | | Checked by opening up a test score | Should be checked on examples you understand | Embeddings sit behind a great deal of everyday AI. When an AI agent searches your notes or a document store for relevant passages, it usually compares embeddings, so the question "why did it fetch that?" often has an answer like "carpenter" beside "lock". In our vibe coding lessons, where learners describe a program and AI writes the first draft, that understanding helps them test search features instead of assuming they work. Agents are taught to older teenagers and adults once Python is in place, and Copilot Studio agent building is one-to-one only. See our [AI agents course page for UK students](/ai-agents-course-for-students-uk), or read [understand the code, don't copy-paste](/understand-the-code-dont-copy-paste-uk). Modern Age Coders is independent of Project Gutenberg and the Office for National Statistics. The book and the census counts come from them; the embeddings, and any errors in them, come from us. Stages ## From word games to embeddings School year gives us a first idea; the free lesson decides where the learner begins. Years 2 to 7 ### How to think Grouping, word logic and explaining a pattern clearly. [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 small apps built with AI help, each tested by the learner. [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 ### Python and AI Text, data and embeddings next to GCSE and A level study. [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 ### Retrieval and agents Embeddings, search, language models and agents, built in Python. [Generative AI Course](/courses/complete-generative-ai-masterclass-college)[Python Masterclass](/courses/python-programming-masterclass-zero-to-advanced-college)AI and meaning ## Does an AI understand what a word means? It knows which words keep company, which is not quite the same thing. The Walsall embeddings put "keys" beside "lock" and "brass" beside "iron", yet also put a surname beside "lock" because of one patent. Larger AI systems are much better at this, but they learn in the same spirit, from patterns of use. A learner who has watched "young" end up next to "lock" asks a useful question of any AI result: what in the data could have produced this? A Walsall teenager who knows how words become numbers will use AI tools with far more judgement, and that is a strong reason to learn to code 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 ## Brownhills to Willenhall, all online A computer and a reliable connection are all a Walsall household needs. ### Hands on the keyboard Learners write, prompt and run their own programs, with the tutor following their screen and asking questions as they go. ### Started at the right level Whether in Year 4 or Year 12, a learner starts where the trial lesson shows they should, with any exam board noted. ### Free to try The first lesson costs nothing and ends with a suggested course. ### Matched groups Five to ten UK learners at about the same point share a class. ### Two lessons weekly No lessons in the school holidays. ### Times that hold Tutors adjust when UK clocks change, so the lesson hour does not move. Why lessons run online Five learners at one stage, all free at the same hour, rarely live on the same side of a borough. Online they can share a lesson wherever they are.
