Because the district has grown so fast, the 2021 Census already describes a smaller place. It was also held during the pandemic. ABS shares are rounded and small counts adjusted, so we copy the published figures and compare only like with like. Signature project ## Let the data service do the counting An agent is asked: how many public tree records does each Molonglo suburb have, and how many are native? It has one tool, the ACT open data API for the tree asset list. A naive agent downloads matching records page by page and counts them itself. A better agent sends a single query that groups and counts on the server. We ran both on 13 October 2026. | Approach | Calls | Data moved | Time | Answer | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Download every record, 1,000 per page | 22 | 17,689,823 bytes | 107.6 s | 21,041 records | | One call, no paging | 1 | 838,642 bytes | not timed | 1,000 records, wrong | | Group and count on the server | 1 | 192 bytes | 1.4 s | 21,041 records | ### Same totals Both complete methods agree: Denman Prospect 6,938 records, Coombs 5,018, Whitlam 4,842, Wright 4,058 and the suburb of Molonglo 185. ### Native and exotic One more grouped call of 847 bytes splits each suburb by label. Denman Prospect has 4,800 exotic records against 1,511 native. ### Why it matters Agents pay for every byte they read, in time, money and context space. Pushing the aggregation down cut the data moved by a factor of about 92,000. ### The quiet wrong answer The middle row is the dangerous one. The API returns 1,000 records by default, and an agent that counts them reports 1,000 trees for the whole district with total confidence. Pushing the count to the server avoids the trap because the server counts everything that matches. Records come from the ACTGOV Tree Assets dataset on data.act.gov.au, licensed CC BY 4.0, queried through its public API. Calls, bytes and times are our own measurements on one connection and will differ elsewhere; the counts themselves come from the data. Teaching the agent ## Describe the tool so the agent uses it well The fix is mostly in the tool description: tell the agent that the API can filter, group and count, and show one example query. | Step | Learner task | | --- | --- | | 1 | Write a tool that fetches tree records for a list of suburbs, page by page. | | 2 | Measure calls, bytes and seconds for the Molonglo question. | | 3 | Add a second tool that sends a grouped count query, and measure again. | | 4 | Give an agent both tools and check which one it chooses for five questions. | In step 4 learners discover that the description of a tool shapes the agent's choices as much as the code does. A count question should go to the grouped tool, while a request to list the native trees on one street still needs records. Writing those two cases into the descriptions, and testing them, is the craft. ### Younger learners Ask a librarian for "how many dinosaur books" instead of carrying every book to the table to count. ### Teenagers Build both tools in Python and log every call the agent makes. ### Adults Push filtering and aggregation into databases and APIs before data reach an agent at work. Around Molonglo ## Sculptures, shelters and Monday bins Local details from ACT Government open data. ### Sculpture valley Of the 49 artworks recorded in Molonglo suburbs, 45 are sculptures. ### Shelters The ACT shelter list places 85 shelters in the district, more than in Woden, Weston Creek or North Canberra. ### Bin day All five Molonglo suburbs in the ACT NOWaste list collect garbage on a Monday. District used Molonglo is the ABS statistical area of about 27.2 square kilometres; our test assigns five named suburbs to it. In 2027, ACT Term 3 runs from Tuesday 20 July to Friday 24 September.

Only if their tools are described well, and someone checks. Left alone, many agents fetch first and think later, because downloading feels safe. On a small table that costs nothing; on 21,041 records it costs 17.7 megabytes, and without paging it silently gives the wrong total. Molonglo learners measure the cost of each plan and design tools that make the efficient plan the obvious one. That is engineering, not prompting. Our agent classes measure what agents do, not just what they say. The longer argument is in [why programming still repays the effort](/blog/is-coding-worth-learning-2026). Delivery ## How Molonglo lessons run All lessons are live online, so families join from home anywhere in the valley. ### Live teaching A teacher leads and checks each learner's work in real time. ### ACT calendar Lessons pause in ACT school holidays. ### Free trial Start with one free lesson and a plan. ### Group or solo Level groups of fifteen to twenty, or private lessons. ### Rhythm Two lessons a week, about eight a month. ### India time From April to October a 6pm Molonglo lesson is 1:30pm in India.

FAQ ## Molonglo agents and vibe coding questions Questions from Molonglo families and adult learners. ### How many people live in Molonglo? The 2021 Census counted 11,435 people. The ABS estimates 16,180 for 2024 and 18,064 for 2025. ### What is push-down aggregation? Sending a counting or summing query to the database or API that holds the data, so only the small answer travels back. ### Why did one call return only 1,000 records? The ACT open data API returns 1,000 rows unless asked for more, so an agent that does not page or count on the server undercounts. ### Does a smarter model fix this? Not by itself. The tools and their descriptions decide what an agent can do efficiently. ### Can children learn about agents? Younger learners start with block coding and AI-assisted projects; building agents usually starts in the teens. ### Which suburbs are in Molonglo? Our test places five: Coombs, Denman Prospect, Molonglo, Whitlam and Wright. ### Do you have a centre in Molonglo? No. Lessons are live online only, we have no Australian office, and our listed phone number is Indian. ### What do Molonglo classes cost? The first lesson is free. Group classes cost USD 100 a month for two live lessons a week, about eight a month, in groups of fifteen to twenty, and one-to-one classes cost USD 150 a month. You agree the course and time before paying. ### How are groups organised? By level and pace, fifteen to twenty learners each, not by age or suburb. One-to-one lessons are available when no group time fits. ### Can adults build agents with you? Yes. Adults learn in adult groups or one to one, often wiring agents to their own systems.
