Measuring 566 parks from their coordinates The City publishes every park boundary as a polygon of map coordinates, with no acreage column. Students calculate the area themselves, then discover that “typical” depends on which average they pick. | Measure | Our result | | --- | --- | | Park polygons in the dataset | 566 | | Mean area | 33.77 acres | | Median area | 3.46 acres | | Polygons under one acre | 166 | | Polygons over 100 acres | 31 | | Largest: Griffith Park | about 4,574 acres | ### From points to area Each park arrives as a list of corner points. The shoelace formula multiplies neighboring coordinates crosswise and halves the total, which gives the area inside the outline. Holes, such as a lake inside a park, are subtracted. ### From feet to acres The coordinates are large numbers that behave like feet on a state plane grid. Dividing square feet by 43,560 gives acres. Students check the method by running it on a square they draw themselves first. ### Mean or median? Our mean lands near 34 acres, the median near three and a half. One average says a typical park is a sizeable green space; the other says it is closer to a large lot. Both are calculated correctly. Why the gap? A handful of giants pull the mean upward. By our calculation Griffith Park alone covers about 4,574 acres, followed by the Sepulveda Basin Recreation Area at about 1,539 and the Hansen Dam Recreation Area at about 1,450. Remove those three and the mean drops sharply, while the median barely moves. That is the whole lesson in one sentence: when a few values are huge, the median describes the middle and the mean describes the total spread thin. A second dataset on the same portal adds context. The Department of Recreation and Parks’ facility list, last updated in 2015, holds 986 entries, among them 387 parks, 156 recreation centers and 76 public computer centers. Students who join the two lists by name meet the next real problem, that the same place is spelled differently in two files. ### Read these numbers carefully Every area here is ours. The dataset has no acreage field and its metadata does not state the projection, so our acres assume the coordinates are in feet and will differ from the City’s official figures. The data is released under a public domain dedication and refreshed quarterly, so a later download may change the results. California context ## Computer science in California schools, in brief One published figure, and a pointer to the statewide detail. The latest California access figure in Code.org (2025). 2025 State of AI + CS Education counts 1,325 of 2,282 high schools offering computer science, roughly 58%. Its listed source is school course catalogs and teacher surveys rather than a state agency report, and the sheet labels the school year inconsistently between two tabs, so we quote the count without a year. We could not read the California Department of Education pages directly on 18 October 2026, so this page quotes no state rule from them; the [California page](/coding-classes-in-california) covers the statewide picture. For a Los Angeles family the practical point is narrower. Whether a given campus offers computer science, and at what level, is a local matter, so a student who wants Python, AI or AP preparation in a particular year often needs to find it outside school hours. Class times ## Pacific Time classes, taught from the other side of the world Our teachers are in India, which means LA evenings and weekend mornings line up with their working day. ### Fits around school Weekdays or weekends, flexible: choose your batch, or for a very personalised plan choose 1-on-1 at your convenience, weekend mornings or weekdays. ### Twelve and a half hours India is twelve and a half hours ahead of Los Angeles in summer and thirteen and a half in winter. A 5 p.m. class in LA is early morning the next day for the teacher. ### Mark the dates The 2026 change back to standard time lands on November 1, 2026; daylight time returns on March 14, 2027. After each switch we restate every class in Pacific Time. America/Los_Angeles The IANA time zone database names the Pacific zone after this city: America/Los_Angeles. Teens who write scheduling code learn to use that identifier, because a hard-coded offset breaks on the two dates above. Learning ladder ## From elementary blocks to AI in twelfth grade Each rung lists two courses; the teacher recommends one after the free class. Grades 2 to 4 ### Logic with blocks Sequences, loops and simple games, built and shown by the child. [Coding for Kids](/courses/kids-coding-blocks-masterclass)[Scratch Coding for Kids](/courses/scratch-programming-complete-course)Grades 5 to 7 ### Typed Python Variables, functions and small projects, the step that makes later work possible. [Python and AI for Kids](/courses/python-ai-kids-masterclass)[Game Development for Kids](/courses/game-development-masterclass-for-kids)Grades 8 to 10 ### Data and the web The parks project, charts, and first websites that use real data. [Python for Teens](/courses/python-complete-masterclass-teens)[Data Science for Teens](/courses/data-science-course-for-teens-python-data)Grades 11 to 12 ### AI and AP Machine learning from scratch and AP Computer Science preparation alongside school. [AI and Machine Learning for Teens](/courses/ai-ml-masterclass-teens)[AP Computer Science A](/courses/ap-computer-science-a-java-exam-prep-course)Coding in the AI era ## Why learn to code in LA when AI writes the code? Because someone still has to know whether the answer is right. Ask an AI assistant for the average size of a Los Angeles park and it may produce one number with great confidence. Which average? Measured how? A student who has computed 566 areas and seen a mean of about 34 acres beside a median of about three and a half knows that the honest answer starts with a question. Our AI courses keep that habit. Students write the code, check it against a case they can work out by hand, and only then use AI tools, within each provider’s age rules, to go faster. The skill being taught is judgment, and judgment does not come from the tool. An AI that writes a shoelace function in seconds is useful only to someone who can tell when it got the units wrong. The longer argument is in [is learning to code still worth it](/blog/is-coding-worth-learning-2026). Delivery ## From the Valley to San Pedro, the same live class Los Angeles is spread out; a class on a laptop is equally close to every neighborhood. ### No drive, no parking A student in Van Nuys and one in San Pedro can join the same session, each from home, without anyone sitting on the 405. ### Teacher sees the screen Screens are shared, so the teacher can follow a student’s code line by line and ask about the part that is not working. ### A free placement class A real task, then a suggested course, level and time. Payment details are not part of the free class. ### Batches by level Fifteen to twenty students at the same stage, from Los Angeles and across the US. ### Or one to one A teacher for one student, at hours the family chooses, for AP preparation or a faster pace. ### School-aware Teachers plan around the US school year and grade levels, and graded school work always stays the student’s own. Online only, by design There is no Modern Age Coders site in Los Angeles and none is claimed. Classes run live online from India; students need a computer, a headset and a reliable connection. Fees ## What classes cost for Los Angeles families Three numbers, the same across the city. First class**USD 0** A full first class with a teacher, free, ending with a recommended course and schedule. Group tuition**USD 100** Monthly classes in a level-matched batch of fifteen to twenty students. Private tuition**USD 150** Monthly classes with one teacher for one student, at times you pick. All US families pay in US dollars at one rate, whether they live in Silver Lake or Sylmar. Billing starts after the free class, once the course and time are settled; the pricing page explains holidays and missed sessions.

No. Every class is live online with a teacher, so a student joins from home anywhere in the city. ### What age can my child start? Block coding works from about six. Typed Python usually starts around nine to eleven, and AI and data science courses are for teens. ### What time are classes in Pacific Time? Weekdays or weekends, flexible: choose your batch, or for a very personalised plan choose 1-on-1 at your convenience. Every time is confirmed in Pacific Time. ### What is the Los Angeles parks project? Students download the park boundary polygons the City publishes, compute the area of each park with the shoelace formula, and compare the mean and median park size. ### Are the park areas on this page official? No. They are our own calculations from the polygon coordinates, approximate, and will differ from the City acreage figures. ### Does California require computer science to graduate? We could not read the state education department pages directly when we checked, so we do not answer that here. Our California page covers the statewide rules. ### Can a teen use AI tools in your classes? Yes, once they can write and check the code themselves, and only tools whose own age rules allow it. AI comes after understanding, not instead of it. ### How big are the batches? Fifteen to twenty students at the same level. One-to-one classes are available for students who want a teacher to themselves. ### Do you help with AP Computer Science? Yes. We run AP Computer Science A and AP Computer Science Principles preparation alongside a school course. School assignments always remain the work of the student. ### Are you connected with the City of Los Angeles? No. We use open data the City publishes, but we are not connected with the City, its Department of Recreation and Parks, the library or any school district.
