On OpenStreetMap, Killowen and The Crannagh appear as localities within the town. Coleraine pupils follow the Northern Ireland Curriculum, and our tutors use the same P1 to Year 14 structure, with CCEA GCSE and A level work where needed. Share your school holiday dates and we will plan around them. ### Causeway Coast, Derry~Londonderry and CCEA See [coding classes in Causeway Coast and Glens](/coding-classes-in-causeway-coast-and-glens), [Derry~Londonderry](/best-coding-class-in-derry-londonderry) and [CCEA A level Software Systems Development help](/ccea-a-level-software-systems-development-help). Our reasons for teaching thinking first are on [learn to think, not just use AI tools](/learn-to-think-not-just-use-ai-tools-uk). The Coleraine project ## Agents that only talk to neighbours: distance-vector routing on Coleraine's roads A network of junction agents, rounds of messages, a closed bridge, and a fix called poison reverse. The learner downloads the public roads of Coleraine from OpenStreetMap and simplifies them to 1,459 junctions joined by 1,601 links, 119.7 km in total, ignoring one-way rules for this experiment. The destination is the junction nearest the point OpenStreetMap uses to label the town. Each junction becomes an agent that remembers one number, how far it believes it is from the destination. In every round, all agents at once ask each neighbour for that neighbour's number, add the length of the road between them, and keep the smallest total. The destination always says zero; everyone else starts at infinity. | Situation | Rounds until every agent is right | Messages exchanged | | --- | --- | --- | | Starting from nothing | 41 | 134,442 | | After closing the Bann Bridge, plain method | 663 | 2,124,136 | | After closing the Bann Bridge, with poison reverse | 167 | 537,432 | | Reopening the bridge | 36 | Not counted | From a cold start the agents agree in 41 rounds, and every final estimate matches Dijkstra's algorithm exactly; the farthest junction is 35 links from the destination, so good news needs only a little longer than that to reach everyone. Then the learner deletes the road OpenStreetMap names the A2 Coleraine Bann Bridge. Traffic can still cross by Sandelford Bridge, but 610 junctions now have a longer true route, typically by 2,229 m. Their agents do not know that. Each still hears old, optimistic numbers from neighbours who were relying on it, so estimates creep upwards a little at a time. The plain method takes 663 rounds and over two million messages to settle. With poison reverse, where an agent tells the neighbour it routes through that its own distance is infinite, it takes 167. Reopening the bridge, good news again, takes just 36. ### P5 to P7 Pass a whispered number down a row of friends, then change the start and see how long the correction takes to arrive. ### Years 8 to 10 Build a tiny road network in Python and let each junction update from its neighbours one round at a time. ### Years 11 to 14 Run distance-vector routing on all of Coleraine, close a bridge, and add poison reverse to speed recovery. ### OpenStreetMap roads, our agents Road geometry and bridge names are from OpenStreetMap and its contributors under the Open Database Licence. One-way rules were ignored and the closure is imaginary; the agents, rounds and message counts are our own work. Agent teams ## What this teaches about vibe coding and AI agents Stale news loves an echo chamber, even one made of software. | In the routing project | When AI agents share information | | --- | --- | | 41 rounds to agree from scratch | Local messages can reach a correct global answer | | 663 rounds after a bridge closed | Bad news spreads slowly through a team | | Neighbours kept echoing old numbers | Agents can reinforce each other's stale beliefs | | Poison reverse cut it to 167 | Simple rules about who to trust help a lot | | Reopening took only 36 rounds | Good news spreads fast, which can hide the problem | Multi-agent AI systems pass summaries, plans and findings between agents, and the same trap applies: if agent A relied on agent B, and B now relies on A, a wrong belief can bounce between them for a long time. With vibe coding the learner states the goal while an AI produces the code; in Coleraine lessons they also decide what each agent may believe from others and how old news is flagged, then test it by breaking something on purpose. Agents that act for people need that design more than any. Agent building is for learners whose Python already stands on its own, mostly sixth-formers and adults, and Copilot Studio agents are covered only one-to-one. Next steps are on [the agents course for UK students](/ai-agents-course-for-students-uk); our teaching principle is on [understand the code, don't copy-paste](/understand-the-code-dont-copy-paste-uk). We used NISRA and OpenStreetMap open data; neither organisation is involved with Modern Age Coders, and the junction agents, bugs included, are our own. Stages ## From whisper chains to agent networks The school year, P1 to Year 14, is our first guide; the trial lesson confirms the level. P1 to P7 ### How to think Passing messages, keeping track and noticing when news goes stale.

[Generative AI Course](/courses/complete-generative-ai-masterclass-college)[Python Masterclass](/courses/python-programming-masterclass-zero-to-advanced-college)Agents and coordination ## How do AI agents coordinate when each can only talk to its neighbours? They pass messages: each agent shares its current estimate with its neighbours and updates from theirs, as in distance-vector routing, a distributed Bellman-Ford method that reaches the right answer but spreads bad news slowly. On Coleraine's road network, 1,459 junction agents agreed on every route in 41 rounds, but after the Bann Bridge was removed they needed 663 rounds to recover, or 167 with poison reverse. Learners who have watched that happen ask of any team of AI agents: how does a correction reach everyone, and what stops old beliefs bouncing back? Designing how agents share news keeps Coleraine teenagers in control of the systems they build, and learning to code is where that begins 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 ## Lessons reach Coleraine by video No kit beyond a webcam-equipped computer and broadband good enough for a call. ### Learner-built Everything on screen is typed by the student, and the tutor keeps asking what the next round will change. ### Level from the trial The free session shows where to start, with any CCEA exam noted. ### Trial on the house Session one is free, and it closes with the course we would choose for the learner. ### Classmates at your level Each group seats five to ten learners, chosen by stage rather than by town. ### Twice a week Lessons pause in school holidays. ### Same hour all year Our tutors move with the UK clock changes so you do not have to. Why online Five learners at one level who share a free evening rarely live near each other. Online, distance is no obstacle.

FAQ ## Coleraine questions Neighbour-to-neighbour agents, the bridge experiment, vibe coding and lesson logistics. ### What is the population of Coleraine? NISRA approximates the Coleraine settlement at 24,483 usual residents in the 2021 census. ### Can Coleraine learners take these classes online? They are. Every class is a live video call, open to ages 6 to 67 from Coleraine to Limavady and Ballymoney. ### What is the Bellman-Ford algorithm? A shortest-path method that repeatedly relaxes every link, improving each distance estimate from its neighbours. Run by many agents at once, it becomes distance-vector routing. ### What is the count-to-infinity problem? When a route breaks, neighbours keep quoting each other's outdated distances, so estimates climb slowly instead of updating at once. After our Bann Bridge closure the plain method took 663 rounds to settle. ### What does the Coleraine project involve? Turning 119.7 km of Coleraine roads into 1,459 junction agents that learn routes by messaging neighbours, then closing a bridge and measuring the recovery with and without poison reverse. ### How does vibe coding fit in? It runs through every stage: the learner sets the goal in words, the AI drafts code, and the learner hunts down whatever is wrong with it. ### How soon do learners build agents? When their Python no longer needs propping up, usually sixth form or later; Copilot Studio is private tuition only. ### Do you support CCEA GCSE and A level? Yes, in computing and maths, including A level Software Systems Development, taught for understanding with no grade promised. ### What are the fees? The trial costs nothing; carrying on is USD 100 per month with a group or USD 150 per month on your own. ### Are lessons paused in the holidays? They do stop for school holidays; just tell us when.
