Fantastic Course for the kids

The Python OOP course was a fantastic week for the kids. They came home excited about what they learnt each day and were enthusiastic about what they were going to learn next.
Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience for my 15 year old

My son has really enjoyed his coding camp - he said ‘ it was great tech with fun attached’ He appreciated challenges and the learning but also enjoyed lots of play in between. Opportunities for extra stretch with great support were presented. Highly recommend!

The boys thoroughly enjoyed the two weeks of game design. So that’s the main thing! Having done the python coding course last holiday, I was expecting slightly more coding to this course (I believe essentially there was none). I think I had hoped that this would have been a great way to engage the boys in coding, as it would be based on gaming. We will definitely come back for more though, so if you have any bright ideas for the perfect fit, let me know!

A great two weeks!

I was happy to see Kai enjoying the course every day. I would love for Kai to take another course with you in the future.

Fantastic course!

My son absolutely loved this course and the best thing about it was he learned some real engineering concepts, not just pure basic Minecraft. His tutor was excellent and engaging. This is the second course he has done with Funtech and it will not be the last. Thank you Funtech!

My son has just had a fantastic week learning to make Roblox Games. His teacher Mide was just brilliant and made the week fun and engaging. We were lucky to have a very small group which I think made it even better.
My only criticism is the disappointment that no certificate is given out at the end and neither was there a T-shirt at the end as was given and I believe promised as part of the marketing.

FunTech response:
You will find the certificate posted on your FunTech Parent Portal.
Sadly, due to covid we were not able to source the t-shirts from our supplier.

Our daughter says the course was amazing and she learned lots.

Python Coder virtual camp

Ethan enjoyed his course and has asked me to sign him up for the next level. I found the half day sessions works well as his concentration diminishes as the day progresses.

Roblox Developer course

My child really enjoyed this course.

My child really enjoyed this course. The feedback element of the course by the child on a daily basis is a great idea as the teacher then changed his style/ tech in accordance with the children’s preference on how they learn. As a parent I would only ask that some individual feedback is given to parents at the end of the course (nothing detailed but info on what the teacher thinks the child could do to improve their programming/developer skill going forward). We would sign up for another course again! Thanks funtech.

My daughter enjoyed the AI learning camp very much. The instructor has organised the teaching material very well and was answering the questions from the pupils at all time. The break interval was set up well and allow the child to concentrate throughout the half day course.

Recommend to allow option of full day course over 1 week for the Virtual camp instead of the half-day course spreading over the 2-week time. This will allow more flexibility on the family to plan holiday away time during the school off period.

My kids loved it

Thank you for having both my children. They loved their time with you and learnt a lot. Transferable skills too so I am very happy.

very educational

My son Victor really got a lot out of the camp and is now working away on a video game. It is extremely valuable to go on the course as the tools that the children like and skills will be of benefit in the future.

I am very pleased ...it was well worth the investment.

Python OOP Review

My daughter enjoyed this, and I think its a valuable course prior to starting GCSE's. However, she did find that some time was wasted on covering ground for some pupils not having a firm knowledge of Python.

But overall, a good course, and highly recommended.

Python Coder

My daughter enjoyed it, and she has already starting to link it to work she is doing with Scratch programming in school.

My 12 year old son attended the cyber security Hackathon course this summer. He is not the easiests child to get to attend holiday camps and so we were a bit apprehensive as to how it would go. However, he really loved the course! He found it just about the right level of challenge but also great fun. My son really liked the course leader who really 'knew his stuff' but was also fun and engaging.
We had a few issues before the course started about course venue etc and these were all sorted out very efficiently by the Fun tech team. Overall our experience with Fun tech has been extremely positive and we would definitely look at booking courses in the future.

Python course

My daughter enjoyed the course. Thank you for the experience

Child’s interest and learning

Our child has great interest in Roblox and prefers it over other games. Now she has learned to design her own games. What the childen like, they learn faster. Good training.

Great summer activity and enjoyable camp

This was the second Minecraft camp that my son did with FunTech and he has enjoyed his learning process. It involves lessons, self-work, and implementing the learned materials in the game.
Thank you FunTech!

Minecraft Game Coder

Lyndon thoroughly enjoyed his virtual Minecraft course. He found the tutor engaging and the course was well organised and structured. Lyndon has now done 6 Funtech courses (4 physical and 2 virtual) and they have all been excellent. We would highly recommend Funtech.

Python-Coder Virtual Camp

Amazing courses! My daughter was very happy with the content of Python L1 and L2. I am willing to consider other virtual camps in the future.
Thank you FunTech!

Fun but long days

My son said he enjoyed it but he has trouble concentrating for long periods and 9-5 was a very long day for him. the Amazon voucher was a nice touch.

We can't thank you enough for the aftecare in helping Charlie get to and from the course, particulary coming home from Wimbledon to Barnes in the evening - so appreciated.

He is definitely keen to continue with either term time or more holiday courses with FunTech.
Thank you and the team again!

Ollie had a great time making the game. The content stretched him and he learned new skills (classes). There was good support. When Ollie didn't understand something, he went back to the teacher and managed to fix it with their help. Another great course!
