The ONS counts a single large built-up area, 149,070 people, that covers the borough and extends a little beyond it. Blackpool schools use England's national curriculum; lessons with us stop for whichever holiday weeks you list. ### County and region Our [Lancashire](/coding-classes-in-lancashire) page covers the county, and the [North West](/coding-and-ai-classes-in-north-west-england) page links the region. The Blackpool project ## Where to stand to measure the Tower Height from an angle, and how much a small mistake costs at each distance. The learner converts the Tower's 380 feet to metres, 115.8, and writes a Python function: height equals distance times the tangent of the angle of elevation. Then comes the realistic part. Suppose the angle is misread by up to half a degree either way. For each standing distance the program computes the height it would report at the angle plus half a degree and at the angle minus half a degree, and keeps the larger error. Ignoring the height of the observer's eyes for now, the pattern is clear. | Standing distance | Angle of elevation | Worst height error | As a percentage | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 20 m | 80.2 degrees | 6.3 m | 5.5% | | 50 m | 66.7 degrees | 2.8 m | 2.4% | | 115.8 m | 45.0 degrees | 2.0 m | 1.8% | | 200 m | 30.1 degrees | 2.3 m | 2.0% | | 400 m | 16.1 degrees | 3.8 m | 3.3% | | 1,000 m | 6.6 degrees | 8.9 m | 7.6% | Standing too close is bad: at 20 metres the angle is steep, the tangent changes violently, and a half-degree slip moves the answer by 6.3 metres. Standing too far is bad too: at a kilometre the angle is tiny, so half a degree is a large share of it. The error is smallest in between. A search over every whole metre from 10 to 2,000 puts the sweet spot at 117 metres, almost exactly as far away as the target is high, where the angle is 45 degrees and the worst error is 2.0 metres. The learner then checks the result with algebra: the relative error is roughly the angle error times 2 divided by the sine of twice the angle, and the sine of 90 degrees is at its largest, so 45 degrees wins. Finally the learner adds eye height, about one and a half metres, and a second source of error, the tape measure, and sees how the ideal distance shifts. Tests check that the function returns exactly 115.8 m for a 45 degree angle at 115.8 m. ### Ages 8 to 11 Make a straw-and-protractor clinometer and measure the height of a tree or lamp post. ### Ages 11 to 15 Write the tangent function in Python and fill in the error table. ### Ages 15 and up Search for the ideal distance, prove the 45 degree result, and add eye height. ### The Tower's figure, our model The 380 foot Tower Top figure, the 1894 opening and the Promenade address come from The Blackpool Tower website. The trigonometry, error model and search are ours. Why the Tower ## A landmark since 1894 What The Blackpool Tower's own pages say. | Detail | What the site says | | --- | --- | | Opened | 1894 | | The circus | First opened to the public on 14 May 1894 | | The ballroom interior | Designed by Frank Matcham, completed in 1900 | | Tower Top | A trip 380 feet into the sky | | Address | The Promenade, Blackpool, FY1 4BJ | | What our model uses | 380 feet as the target height, 115.8 m | Choosing where to measure from is a real engineering problem. Surveyors, drone pilots, astronomers and the software inside phone cameras all face the same trade-off: some positions make small errors large and others keep them small. Programs that plan measurements search for the arrangement where the unavoidable mistakes matter least. A Blackpool learner who has found the 117 metre sweet spot has solved a small version of that problem. Modern Age Coders is not connected with The Blackpool Tower, Blackpool Tourism Limited or the ONS. Their figures stay theirs; any slip in the model belongs to us. Stages ## From straw clinometers to measurement planning School years are a guide; the trial finds the level. Years 1 to 4 ### Angles and turns Block coding with angles, shapes and movement. [Coding for Kids](/courses/kids-coding-blocks-masterclass)[Scratch Coding for Kids](/courses/scratch-programming-complete-course)Years 5 to 8 ### Python and maths Functions and simple trigonometry in Python. [Python and AI for Kids](/courses/python-ai-kids-masterclass)[Maths Through Coding](/courses/maths-through-coding)Years 9 to 13 ### Models and AI Modelling, error and AI alongside GCSE and A level. [Python for Teens](/courses/python-complete-masterclass-teens)[High School Mathematics](/courses/complete-high-school-mathematics-mastery)Adults ### Applied programming Adult Python for models and data. [Python Masterclass](/courses/python-programming-masterclass-zero-to-advanced-college)[Data Analysis Course](/courses/data-analysis-mastery-course-college)AI and uncertainty ## Will an AI tell you where to stand? A formula is not the whole answer; the setup matters. Ask a chatbot how to measure a building with trigonometry and it will give the tangent formula correctly. It will rarely mention that the same formula can be three times less accurate depending on where you stand. A Blackpool learner who has modelled half a degree of error knows to ask how sensitive any answer is to the measurements behind it. Asking how much a small mistake could cost is a habit worth building in code, and a good reason for Blackpool teenagers to keep at it in 2026. The longer argument is in [why teenagers should still learn to code in 2026](/blog/is-coding-worth-learning-2026). Lesson set-up ## All of Blackpool, by live video The whole borough joins the same way. ### Student-written code Learners type every line; the tutor watches the shared screen and asks questions rather than taking over. ### The right first step Year 3 or Year 12, the trial and school year together decide where a learner starts, with their exam board noted. ### Free first lesson The trial costs nothing and ends with a plain recommendation. ### Classmates on your level Every group mixes five to ten UK learners who have reached the same step. ### Two lessons a week During term only; holidays stay free. ### Fixed time slot UK clock changes are absorbed by our tutors, not your timetable. Why groups meet online Five Blackpool learners at one level, free at the same hour, seldom live near one another. Online groups give each the right class. Fees ## Blackpool fees Blackpool families pay the fee we use in every country outside India. First class**USD 0** A full lesson free, ending with a course suggestion. Group tuition**USD 100** Around eight live group lessons per month. Private tuition**USD 150** Around eight live private lessons per month. Prices are in US dollars, never sterling.

The 2021 census counted 141,036 in Blackpool borough; the ONS gives 149,070 for the Blackpool built-up area. ### Can Blackpool learners take coding and Python classes online? Yes. Learners aged 6 to 67 in Blackpool join live online coding, Python, AI and maths lessons. ### What is the Blackpool Tower project? Learners use trigonometry in Python to estimate the 380 foot Tower Top from an angle of elevation and find where to stand for the smallest error. ### What is an angle of elevation? The angle between flat ground and your line of sight up to the top of something. ### Where should you stand for the smallest error? In our model, about as far away as the target is high, where the angle is 45 degrees; here about 117 metres. ### Are lessons in person? No, all lessons run live online. ### Do you help with GCSE and A level? For maths and computing, yes; the aim is genuine understanding, and no grade is ever guaranteed. ### What ages can join? From 6 to 67. ### How much do lessons cost? Zero for the opening lesson, then USD 100 monthly in a class or USD 150 monthly with a private tutor. ### Do lessons pause in school holidays? Yes, once you tell us the dates.
