Vibe coding and AI agent classes in Banyule

What should Banyule learners know before building AI agents?

That agents call tools at the same time, and answers can arrive in any order. Our live online classes teach teenagers and adults to build agents that match every answer to its question, after children learn the basics in Scratch from six. The City of Banyule had 126,236 residents in the 2021 Census.

Modern AI agents can send several tool calls at once, such as nine lookups for nine stations, and wait for the replies. The replies come back whenever each tool finishes. If the code assumes they return in the order they were sent, a station can quietly inherit another station's number. We simulated how often that happens.

Banyule in the Census

School-age children

There were 7,822 residents aged 5 to 9 and 7,559 aged 10 to 14 on Census night.

Working from home

During the August 2021 lockdown, 33.4% of employed residents, 21,341 people, worked from home.

The council area

Banyule covers about 62.5 square kilometres in the ABS boundary, from Ivanhoe along the Yarra to Greensborough and Bundoora.

Census cells are lightly adjusted for privacy by the bureau, so we print figures exactly as released and never add them into totals of our own.

Signature project

Which answer belongs to which station?

An agent asks for FY24-25 entries at all nine Banyule stations as nine parallel tool calls, launched 10 milliseconds apart, each taking about 120 milliseconds. The naive code labels replies in arrival order. We ran 10,000 simulated runs at five levels of timing jitter.

Labelling by arrival order (our simulation, 10,000 runs per row)
Latency jitterRuns with any mislabelWrong labels per runRuns naming the wrong busiest station
Very low (0.02)1.13%0.0230.31%

High (0.25)99.98%6.86883.72%
Very high (0.5)100%7.47587.95%

Tiny jitter, rare errors

When every tool takes almost exactly the same time, replies usually return in launch order, so the bug hides in testing.

Real jitter, constant errors

At a jitter of 0.1 nearly every run mislabels something, and six in ten name the wrong busiest station.

The fix

Carry the station name with each reply and merge results by that key. Across every setting it produced zero errors.

Why the busiest station is easy to get wrong

Heidelberg leads Banyule with 822,300 entries in FY24-25, ahead of Ivanhoe at 617,600 and Rosanna at 432,900. Mislabel Heidelberg's reply and the agent confidently reports a different station as busiest, a mistake no one notices unless they know the numbers.

The entry counts come from the Department of Transport and Planning, rounded to 50. The launch gap, latency and jitter are modelling choices, not measurements of any real service, and every percentage in the table is the output of our simulation.

Building the agent

Matching every reply to its request

Agent platforms give each tool call an identifier for exactly this reason. Learners build the matching themselves before relying on a framework.

Order-safe habits for agents
HabitIn codeIn the Banyule agent
Tag every callSend an id or name with the requestEach lookup carries its station name
Merge by keyBuild a dictionary, not a listresults[station] = entries
Check completenessCompare keys sent with keys receivedNine stations asked, nine answered
Test with jitterRandomise delays in testsShuffled replies must give the same table

Teenagers

Write the naive version, add random delays, watch it fail, then fix it with a dictionary.

Adults

Audit an existing automation for any place that trusts the order of parallel replies.

Younger children

Play a game where cards are handed back shuffled and each must carry its own name.

Station numbers make the bug visible: Greensborough held 51.9% of its FY18-19 entries in FY24-25 and Watsonia 44.1%, while Heidelberg reached 103.9%. Swap two replies and those very different stories swap with them.

Stations by our count

Our boundary check finds nine Banyule stations, from Darebin, Ivanhoe and Eaglemont in the south through Heidelberg and Rosanna to Greensborough and Montmorency.

The 2025 school list

In the 2025 list Banyule has 42 schools: 29 primary, 8 secondary, 3 combined and 2 special. Viewbank College, Greensborough Secondary College and Montmorency Secondary College are government secondaries.

Term 1, 2027

State schools in Victoria open Term 1 of 2027 on Thursday 28 January and break up for the holidays on Thursday 25 March.

Council-wide figures

Every Census number here covers the whole City of Banyule; Ivanhoe, Heidelberg, Greensborough and the other suburbs also have their own QuickStats.

Coding and AI

If an agent writes the code, why should a Banyule teenager learn it?

Because ordering bugs pass every quick test. The naive station agent mislabelled only 1.13% of runs at very low jitter, so a short demo looks perfect.

An AI assistant asked to "look up all nine stations in parallel" will often collect the replies into a list and zip them with station names. It works on the developer's laptop, where every call takes the same time. In use, with real timing, the same code puts the wrong number next to the wrong station most of the time.

Learners who have watched that table fill with errors know to ask how results are matched. That one question, asked of AI-generated code, prevents a whole class of silent mistakes, and it comes from having built the thing by hand.

A Banyule learner who checks how an agent matches its answers is ready to let agents do real work. The longer argument is in why teenagers should still learn to code in 2026.

FAQ

Banyule vibe coding and AI agent questions

Questions Banyule families and adult learners ask most.

How many residents does Banyule have?

The 2021 Census QuickStats record 126,236 residents in the City of Banyule, a median age of 40 and 34,785 families.

What are parallel tool calls?

They are several requests an AI agent sends at the same time, such as nine data lookups, instead of waiting for each one in turn. The replies return whenever each tool finishes, not in the order sent.

What did the Banyule simulation find?

Matching replies by arrival order mislabelled at least one station in 97.55% of runs at moderate jitter. Merging replies by station name gave zero errors at every jitter level.

What is vibe coding?

It is a way of programming where you explain the goal in everyday words, an AI writes a first draft, and you check, run and repair what it produced. Our lessons pair it with ordinary coding so the learner can tell good output from bad.

At what age do Banyule children meet agents?

From six they work in Scratch and talk about what AI can and cannot do; writing a real agent tends to come at thirteen or fourteen, after some Python.

Are Claude-based agent courses open to teenagers?

No. Claude-based courses take adults only, aged 18 or more, and teenage agent builders work with other models.

Is there a centre in Banyule?

No. All lessons are live online, there is no office in Australia, and our listed phone number is Indian.

What do classes cost for Banyule learners?

The first lesson is free. Group classes then cost USD 100 a month for two live lessons a week, about eight a month, with fifteen to twenty learners, or USD 150 a month one to one. Course, format and time are agreed before any payment.

How large are the groups?

Fifteen to twenty learners, matched by level, pace and goal. If no group fits the learner's time, one-to-one lessons are offered.

Are Copilot Studio agents part of group classes?

No. Copilot Studio sits outside the group timetable and is taught privately; in a Banyule group, every agent is written in Python.
