Vibe coding and AI agent classes in Glen Eira

How can Glen Eira learners use AI agents safely?

By learning to make an agent show what it intends to change before it changes anything, then checking that plan against real data. Live online classes teach this through Python and agent projects for teenagers and adults. The City of Glen Eira counted 148,908 residents in the 2021 Census, with a median age of 38.

Victoria's bus timetable data lists 516 stops inside the Glen Eira boundary, and 129 stop names appear twice. Hand an AI agent the instruction "merge the duplicate stops" and it may cheerfully delete a quarter of the list. Asking it for a dry run first, a full description of every change it would make, turned that into a decision a person could check.

Facts last verified 11 October 2026. Teaching is online; no Glen Eira branch is claimed.

Primary and lower secondary ages

The Census recorded 8,943 residents aged 5 to 9 and 9,365 aged 10 to 14.

Census day at home

August 2021 fell in a lockdown, and 39.7% of employed residents, 31,611 people, worked from home that day.

A compact council

The ABS boundary encloses about 38.7 square kilometres between Caulfield, Bentleigh and Murrumbeena.

The bureau perturbs small cells to keep people anonymous, so each count is shown as published and rows are never summed into totals of our own.

Signature project

What would the agent have deleted?

We took the metropolitan bus stops from the state's GTFS timetable feed and kept the 516 that fall inside the Glen Eira council boundary. Then we asked what an agent following the instruction "merge stops that share a name" would actually do, without letting it write anything.

No route in common3No: different services stop at each

Name is not identity

Stop names describe a corner, such as Kambrook Rd/Glen Eira Rd, and buses heading each way stop on their own side of it.

Distance as a clue

The paired stops sit a median 19.3 metres apart, from 6.0 metres up to 142.8 metres for McLaurin Rd/Murrumbeena Rd.

The plan as a document

A dry run lists every record that would change, so a reviewer can sample it, count it and say no before the damage is done.

Why confirmation matters

Merging the 114 opposite-direction pairs would have left each of those corners with a stop on only one side, quietly breaking timetables for passengers travelling the other way. Nothing in the instruction was malicious; it was simply too broad. The dry run made the problem visible, and the confirmation step gave a person the chance to narrow the task.

The stops, names, coordinates and routes come from the published feed; the boundary test, pairings, distances and the classification of each pair are our own work. We make no claim about which, if any, of the 12 same-direction pairs are true duplicates.

Building the safeguard

An agent that proposes before it acts

The safeguard is a few lines of design, not a new tool. These are the parts learners build and test.

Pieces of a dry-run workflow

SampleShows a handful of the planned changes in fullDo the examples match the intent?
ConfirmWaits for an explicit yes, with the count repeatedHas a person seen the number before saying yes?
Apply and logMakes the change and records what it touchedCould the change be reversed from the log?

Vibe coding speeds this up: a learner describes the workflow, the AI drafts it, and the learner reads every line before running it on a copy of the data. The skill being taught is judgement, not typing.

Younger learners

Write a plan on paper before tidying a toy shelf, then check it with an adult before moving anything.

Teenagers

Build an agent in Python that must print its plan and wait for "yes" before writing to a file.

Adults

Add a dry-run flag to scripts and agents used at work, and make confirmation repeat the number of affected records.

If an agent can do the job, why should a Glen Eira teenager learn to code?

Because someone has to read the agent's plan, and a plan full of code only makes sense to a person who can code.

The duplicate-stop instruction sounded reasonable. Only a reader who understood how stop records, routes and directions fit together could see that 114 of the 129 planned merges were wrong. That understanding comes from having written programs that read and change data, not from prompting alone.

Teenagers who build an agent that must ask before it acts learn two lasting habits: treat any bulk change as a proposal until it is checked, and make the count of affected records visible. Both apply whether the change comes from a script, a colleague or an AI.

A Glen Eira learner who can read an agent's plan is the one who can safely let it work. The longer argument is in why teenagers should still learn to code in 2026.

FAQ

Glen Eira vibe coding and AI agent questions

The questions Glen Eira families and adult learners ask first.

How many people live in the City of Glen Eira?

The 2021 Census QuickStats for the City of Glen Eira record 148,908 residents, a median age of 38 and 39,585 families.

What is a dry run for an AI agent?

A dry run is a mode where the agent describes every change it would make, such as which records it would delete or edit, without making any of them. A person reviews the plan and confirms or narrows it first.

What did the Glen Eira bus stop project find?

Of 516 bus stops inside the council boundary, 129 names are shared by two stops. Merging them would have deleted 129 stops, but 114 of those pairs are stops on opposite sides of the road serving each direction of the same route.

What is vibe coding?

Vibe coding means describing what a program should do in plain language, letting an AI draft the code, and then reading, testing and fixing it. We teach it alongside real coding so learners can judge what the AI produced.

Can younger children learn about AI agents?

Children from six start with Scratch and simple AI literacy. Building agents usually begins in the teenage years once Python is comfortable.

Are Copilot Studio agents taught in group classes?

No. We keep Copilot Studio to private lessons, and Glen Eira groups build every agent in Python.

Do you have a centre in Glen Eira?

No. Every lesson is live online, we have no premises in Australia, and the phone number shown is an Indian number.

What do classes cost for Glen Eira learners?

The first lesson is free. Group lessons 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 many learners are in a group?

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

Do adults take these classes?

Yes. Adults have separate groups or private sessions, and many want an agent they can trust with tasks at work.
