Postcodes.io records Four Oaks, Mere Green, Walmley, Wylde Green, Boldmere, Maney, New Oscott, Minworth, Roughley and Reddicap Heath as suburban areas of Birmingham. Schools here follow England's national curriculum; tell us the holiday weeks and no lesson will land in them. ### Birmingham, the West Midlands and how we teach See [coding classes in Birmingham](/coding-classes-in-birmingham) and [the West Midlands](/coding-classes-in-the-west-midlands). The reason thinking comes before tools is on [learn to think, not just use AI tools](/learn-to-think-not-just-use-ai-tools-uk). The Sutton Coldfield project ## A token bucket and seven agents: fetching Sutton Coldfield without being refused Real download sizes, one invented rationing rule, and a count of every refusal. First the learner downloads the OpenStreetMap data for a rectangle over Sutton Coldfield in 20 tiles, slowly and politely, and records how big each download was and how long it took. The tiles vary a great deal: the smallest is 0.95 MB, the largest 11.4 MB, and the whole town comes to 112.0 MB and 54.9 seconds of downloading. Then comes the experiment, which is a simulation. We invent a server rule, and it is ours, not OpenStreetMap's: a bucket holding 20 MB of allowance that refills at 1 MB per second, with any request bigger than the current allowance refused. Seven agents replay the same 20 real tiles against that rule. Because 112.0 MB must pass through a bucket that starts with 20 MB and gains 1 MB a second, no agent can possibly finish in under about 92 seconds. | Agent | Time to finish | Requests refused | | --- | --- | --- | | Fire at once, retry every second | 93.9 s | 39 | | Fire at once, retry every 5 seconds | 94.9 s | 8 | | Fire at once, retry every 30 seconds | 144.9 s | 3 | | Fire at once, doubling the wait each time | 93.9 s | 22 | | Always pause 2 seconds between tiles | 102.9 s | 4 | | Always pause 10 seconds between tiles | 254.9 s | 0 | | Keep its own copy of the bucket | 93.2 s | 0 | The impatient agents finish almost as quickly as is possible, but only by being refused again and again: 39 times for the one that retries every second. Real services notice that, and respond with longer blocks or bans. The cautious agent that always waits 10 seconds is never refused, and takes nearly three times as long as it needed to. The agent that models the bucket itself, waiting exactly until enough allowance has dripped in for the next tile, finishes in 93.2 seconds, within about a second of the limit, and is not refused once. Knowing the rule beats both guessing and grovelling. ### Ages 8 to 11 Play a game with a jar of counters refilled one at a time, and work out when you can afford each move. ### Ages 11 to 15 Write a token bucket in Python and feed it the 20 real tile sizes. ### Ages 15 and up Build all seven agents, measure refusals and time, and design one that copes when the rule is unknown. ### Real tile sizes, invented limit Tile sizes and timings come from our own downloads of OpenStreetMap data, which is published by OpenStreetMap and its contributors under the Open Database Licence. The 20 MB and 1 MB per second rule is invented for teaching and is not OpenStreetMap's policy; real services publish their own limits, and an agent should read and respect them. Polite agents ## What this teaches about vibe coding and AI agents An agent is a guest on every service it calls. | In the download project | When an agent calls real services | | --- | --- | | Retrying every second was refused 39 times | Hammering a limit gets clients blocked | | A 10-second pause wasted two and a half minutes | Blind caution is slow | | Modelling the bucket gave zero refusals | Knowing the rule lets an agent go at full speed safely | | Tiles ranged from 0.95 to 11.4 MB | Costs differ per request; count them | | No agent could beat about 92 seconds | Some limits are arithmetic, not skill | Language model services meter their clients in much the same way, by requests and by tokens per minute, and an agent that ignores the meter spends its time being turned away. When our Sutton Coldfield learners vibe code, telling an AI what to build in plain English, they add one line to every brief that touches the network: say what the limits are and how the program will stay inside them. They then check the code really does. Agent building is for learners whose Python is already reliable, generally from about sixteen, and Copilot Studio agents are covered in private lessons only. The course outline is on [AI agents for UK students](/ai-agents-course-for-students-uk); the thinking behind it is on [understand the code, don't copy-paste](/understand-the-code-dont-copy-paste-uk). We are independent of OpenStreetMap, the Office for National Statistics, Nomis and postcodes.io. Their open data is all we used, and the simulation, with any faults, is our own. Stages ## From counters in a jar to well-behaved agents We treat the school year as a first guess and let the trial lesson correct it.

[Generative AI Course](/courses/complete-generative-ai-masterclass-college)[Python Masterclass](/courses/python-programming-masterclass-zero-to-advanced-college)Agents and limits ## What is a token bucket, and how should an AI agent handle rate limits? A token bucket is a rate limit that allows a burst up to a fixed size and then a steady refill rate; an agent should track the same bucket itself and wait until it can afford each request, instead of firing requests and retrying after refusals. Replaying 20 real map downloads over Sutton Coldfield (112.0 MB) against an invented 20 MB, 1 MB per second bucket, an agent that retried every second was refused 39 times, while one that kept its own copy of the bucket finished in 93.2 seconds with no refusals. Learners who have run that race ask of any agent that calls a service: does it know the limit, and how many times was it turned away? Building agents that respect limits is how Sutton Coldfield teenagers learn to be trusted with real systems, and that starts with writing the code themselves. The longer argument is in [why teenagers should still learn to code in 2026](/blog/is-coding-worth-learning-2026). How it works ## Four Oaks to Wylde Green, by video A computer, a webcam and a home connection that can stream are the full kit list. ### Pupils at the keyboard The learner writes the code and the prompts; the tutor watches the shared screen and asks what will happen next. ### Trial decides the level Half an hour of real work shows where to start, and any exam board is noted. ### First session free No fee for the trial, which ends with a course suggestion. ### Five to ten per class Classmates come from across the UK and share a level. ### Twice a week Term time only. ### Fixed slot Clock changes are handled by the tutor, so your time does not move. Why not a classroom A class of five at one level, free on the same evening, is hard to gather in one suburb. Online, the class forms wherever the learners are.

FAQ ## Sutton Coldfield questions Rate limits, the download project, vibe coding, agents and the practical side. ### How many people live in Sutton Coldfield? The ONS gives 93,375 residents for the Royal Sutton Coldfield built-up area at the 2021 census. ### Are vibe coding and AI agents classes available in Sutton Coldfield? Yes, online: live video lessons for ages 6 to 67 across Four Oaks, Boldmere, Walmley and the other Sutton wards. ### What is rate limiting? A rule that caps how much a client may ask of a service in a given time, to keep the service fair and stable. Going over the limit means requests are refused. ### What does HTTP 429 mean? It is the standard "Too Many Requests" reply from a web service, telling the client it has exceeded a rate limit and should slow down. Some services use other codes for the same message. ### What is the Sutton Coldfield project? Recording 20 real map downloads over the town, then simulating seven agents against a token bucket limit to compare speed and refusals. ### What is vibe coding? Building software by describing it in everyday language to an AI that writes the code, while the learner plans, checks and corrects it. ### At what age do learners build agents? Once Python is reliable, generally from about sixteen; Copilot Studio agents are private lessons only. ### Do you cover GCSE and A level? Computer science and maths, yes, taught for understanding; we do not promise grades. ### What are the fees? Free for the trial, then USD 100 per month in a class or USD 150 per month privately. ### Are there lessons in the holidays? No; tell us the dates and we pause.
