FunTech Review - 3D Game

Raphael really enjoyed his camp. He made friends; enjoyed the food, the coding, and the location!\n\nThank you very much.\n

Excellent and fitting

Although my son is not a native English speaker, he was able to follow the lessons very well.\nThe option of a two-week course on a half-day basis was great.\nA great course in the morning and a summer vacation in the afternoon.\nThanks, Funtech.\nKeep up the good work!

It was a hit!

My son really enjoyed his Minecraft residential course and even though he was 8 years old (one of the youngest), he had never spent any amount of time away from his family. The organisers and carers really made him feel at home and welcome. He wants to return next year for another course so it was definitely a hit, and my son is quite a shy home boy too.

My son was signed up to the Level 1, part 1 course but it quickly became apparent that he had covered quite a bit of the material already. The tutor recognised this and suggested he move up to Level 2. The FunTech team were then brilliant at organising the shift, sending new links and resources to my computer through screen share so that it was a seamless transition.\n\nHe really enjoyed the course and learnt loads. It was well-run, the tutors were great and it was a good balance of work and screen break. Would highly recommend!

Great Minecraft class

My daughter really enjoyed the class, she said the teacher is very nice and she enjoyed the content of the class. Will try other classes as well.

Unity Course

My daughter had wonderful experience and enjoyed learning coding skills. She hopes to do Part 2 for a challenge.

Great course for Minecraft enthusiasts!

My 10 year old really enjoyed this course. It was a great activity for him to round off the summer holiday. He is already asking to book on to the next level!

Excellent week

T really enjoyed it, thanks.

Great course

My son enjoyed the course. He built significantly on his existing knowledge of Python and increased his interest in this subject.

Zara had a great time - thank you

Hi - Zara had been a little sceptical that she was going to enjoy this camp - but she had a great time!! Thank you and your time for making it fun and educational. She can't wait to do more Minecraft on the home computer!!

Java

Lyndon thoroughly enjoyed Part 2 of the Java course and learned lots. As ever, Funtech was extremely well organised and run. There is a great offering of courses and the flexibility of virtual and in person courses is fantastic, as well as being able to swap dates around. Thanks again Funtech!!

Bethan & Zara thoroughly enjoyed the Python OOP 2 course last week. The content was educational & enriching while not being too difficult. The tutor (Jed) articulated concepts very well. The small class size made the atmosphere of the classroom peaceful and calm. The balance of indoor and outdoor break was well structured and organised. During break time, the tutors & coordinators played games outside with the children to keep them active throughout the day.\nWe will definitely try to look for another summer day camp wth Fun Tech at the Barbican location.

100% positive

My 9 year old son is sad to have finished his 5 day course, will definitely book again, thank you!

My son did the Lua Coder Roblox course at Tonbridge School. The materials provided were really clear. My son found it a good challenge and as the week went on found the work and use of language clearer. \n\nThe structure of the day was designed really well. With opportunities to chat to other course goers and get involved in well structured games away from the screens. \n\nThe course tutors were really relatable and knew their subject really well. \n\nMy son would love to sign up to another course in the future but most importantly he’s able to practise what he’s learnt and create his own worlds on Roblox!

Great fun, top tutors, fantastic learning experience! Thank you Funtech Team!

Python OOP at Barbican

The course was very good, learned a lot with good support from the teacher and had fun in the break times playing games and sports. There was good bonding with a nice group size - nice that parents could join to see the final projects - thanks Funtech!

Lego Mindstorms

My child had a great time all week long. I’m so impressed with how much she learnt!

Java Part 1

Hugo really enjoyed this course. He was fully engaged with it every day and seemed to get a lot out of it.
He now wants to do part 2 next week but we were really disappointed to see it is fully booked!

FunTech Review

Saira very much enjoyed the course and would love to attend again. As parents we are very happy with the progress she has made and the course tutors.

Our son is 7 and was keen to do this camp but we had no idea what to expect or whether it might be too intense for him. He came home buzzing every night and bounced in every morning, telling us all about the friends he had made and how much fun he was having. We were incredibly impressed with the communication from FunTech and how they touched base with us during the week, letting us know how he was doing.\n\nHe is already talking about what course he will do next time and insists that he wants to do it as a residential.\n\nWe wholeheartedly recommend FunTech to anyone, for the care and support they take of the students and the high level of expertise. Thank you, from one very happy little boy!!

Dear Funtech, \nJulian had a great time learning in the minecraft mod development course this summer. Eva was a patient, kind leader who kept the kids moving along so they were able to fit in a lot of fun learning throughout the week! The content was introduced at a good pace and Julian took away new skills, not only in the course but from learning in an online experience. We will definitely be back for more courses! Thank you for a wonderful week!\nHeather and Julian Degrotte\n

I booked my son in for the week long Python course in London. He already had some coding experience but from a couple of years ago so he was definitely out of practise. The course leaders were young but unquestionably knowledgeable and had a lovely rapport with the students from day one. My son found the course pretty much perfect for his level of understanding: it was challenging but not overwhelming and he came away exhausted but thrilled with what he had achieved.

As a parent, I am thrilled with the progress my son has made through this Python coding course. Initially, I was searching for an engaging and educational program that could introduce him to the world of programming, and this course exceeded our expectations.\n\nFrom the beginning, the instructors made sure the material was both accessible and challenging. They have a remarkable ability to break down complex concepts into digestible lessons that are easy for younger students to grasp. My son had no prior coding experience, but thanks to there clear instructions and hands-on projects, he quickly gained confidence in writing his own Python code.\n\nThe course structure is well-organised, with each lesson building on the previous one, ensuring a solid understanding of the fundamentals before moving on to more advanced topics. I was particularly impressed with how the course incorporated real-world applications of Python, which kept my son engaged and excited to learn more.\n\nWhat stood out to me the most was the support provided by the instructors. They were always available to answer questions and provide feedback, ensuring that no student felt left behind. The community aspect of the course also fostered collaboration and peer learning, which was invaluable in helping my son develop problem-solving skills.\n\nOverall, this Python coding course has not only taught my son valuable technical skills but has also ignited a passion for programming that I’m sure will continue to grow. I would highly recommend this course to any parent looking to provide their child with a strong foundation in coding and a fun, rewarding learning experience.

I'd been looking for a tech course for our daughter to do during the holidays. She is a Roblox fan, so when I found FunTech we enrolled her on two courses on Roblox Game Designer (parts 1 and 2). \nIt was a Virtual Camp and although she needed a little help getting set up, she was fine once connected to the class and sharing the screen. She found it both fun and challenging. The tutors were very good and listened to the feedback. As a parent it was great to see my child in relaxed classroom environment, gaining confidence while having fun. Highly recommended.

Lua coder

My son did not know what to expect on this course. This is the first time we are with Funtech. He learnt quite a bit and was really excited a few days. Specially as he was able to relate to what he was learning. The course was well structured and well supported.

Minecraft mod

Thank you to Lara for a fantastic week

“How was your course?”\nDay 1 reply….”this was probably of the best days of my life!”\n\nWhat more needs to be said!!!

3DGame part 2

Absolutely impressed with this course. Maxi loved it and was very proud of his little project at the end. We think this is one of the best holiday’s course he has done up to know. Thank you

Hackathon Happiness!

My son had a great time on the Cyber Security Hackathon camp. He is very interested in ethical hacking so this was the perfect camp for him. He loved the practical challenges as well as learning how to use new software and he's much more security conscious as a result of attending the camp.

I knew my son was enjoying himself when he described his FunTech camp as being "better than school because it lasts 2 hours longer". He was completely engaged in Minecraft Mod developer and keen to continue outside of the camp setting. He also made a new friend, thanks to the considered way in which the room was set up, placing children of similar age together.\nOnly question now is which topic to try next year!
