Funtech - A Review

This year has been very fun. One of my favorite parts was creating my own table on what I wanted (I did books) today. Of course I put my in-progress book as rated 11/10. The banter and chat was fun as well. There were many other fun times throughout the year but a can't recall them at this moment.

This course has been really helpful to me in getting started with some more complicated Python coding concepts and is useful to me when starting A-Level Computer Science. Most of the content learnt can be found in my courses so now I am at an advantage when taking them, it is great. The overall tutoring was good and the help is efficient and easy to understand once explained, if I didn't understand something at first. I would definitely recommend this course.

Great and Fun

Funtech is honestly great at explaining things and are nice.
I learned a bunch about coding in this course

These terms were really fun!

I found learning python interesting and new for me and I had lots of fun learning it and making games! There were parts i struggled on but they were all explained really well and helped me develop my learning even further! Thank you for the wonderful lessons! :D

EPIC TIME

I really had a fun time learning how to use SQL this was really a nice experience i loved making all the tables and i really like the tutor she was really nice.

Review of PCO3

Great lessons throughout the whole course, and a very helpful teacher as well.

Amazing Course!

I believe that my skills have been massively upgraded and improved with this course, as being shown how to create multiplayer games is incredibly interesting and useful, whilst still also being lots of fun!

Web Designer Rookie

I love FunTech so much and as the years go by and I learn more about the computer world I am sure I would love to use it as an adult.

I loved it.

Ever since i started funtech, i learnt a lot about coding, and i want to continue. it finally is helping me get closer to my dream of game development. i enjoyed this term, and, although i struggled sometimes, i think i did well because the tutors help.

Well, where can I start with this course? This was a blast from start to finish, learning various different fun things from making classes and objects to drawing shapes with tkinter, even making a fully-fledged working pac-man game with working ghost pathfinding AI! The tutor was also very nice, always willing to help people out no matter what they were stuck on, and there is really nothing to dislike about it. I am looking forward to PCO3.

Brilliant

It was a brilliant course, we learnt tkinter which is a GUI and abstract data types and pathfinding algorithms. This was a brilliant course with excellent projects such as Pac-Man with levels, Battleships and a working Login Form.

My daughter enjoyed Hackathon very much and felt that she learned a lot during that week. The staff and the instructors were wonderful. My only issue with the Barbican location is that they were stuck indoors the entire day due to the lack of outdoor space. It happened to be one of the hottest weeks of the summer too. Ideally, it would have been great to have some proper screen breaks outside, but I understand why that was difficult, given the location.

Tom had a wonderful few days on the Minecraft Coder camp. He enjoyed all the activities, especially the chance to learn a little diving in the pool. He would have liked to do this all week long, as an addition to the coding! He thought the staff were wonderful. For a child that doesn't like being away from home, he enjoyed himself and in the latter part of the week didn't feel the need to call home in the evening. Thank you for making it such a great experience!

My son thoroughly enjoyed the virtual Minecraft Coder camp - I was a little concerned he might get bored and not complete it but instead he couldn’t wait each day to resume and was very disappointed when it ended as he just wanted more! The tutor was excellent, keeping them motivated, engaged and included and I will definitely be booking another virtual camp next school holidays!

My son took part in the 3D Game design virtual week course. He thoroughly enjoyed it, and was engaged throughout and has developed new skills and confidence while completing the course. The course has ignited his imagination and boosted his enthusiasm for game design. The tutor was very supportive, knowledgeable and competent and inspirational. On the final day doing their individual projects it would have been nice for the students to have enough time to show each other their game design to see how others had used the course to develop their own game ideas. Overall, the course was a huge success and I would definitely recommend it to those interested in game design.

We live in California, USA. And we are so happy to have found this camp. My two sons (14 and 11 yrs old) attended Python - Coder Camp and 3D Game Design - Developer during the summer break. And they both loved it. It was an amazing experience for them. They loved the camp, teachers, daily delicious meals, fun activities and of course developing and coding! Everyone was very professional, friendly and helpful. We will be back for camp next summer for sure. Thank you for everything!

Great systems in place for virtual teaching. We had no issues with connection.

My 12 year old daughter found the course useful, but as she was the only girl she did find it a little bit isolating at times. We definitely need more girls getting involved with this as it seems to be a very male dominated activity.

Unfortunately there were a few occasions throughout the course where the usual tutor was absent, through no fault of FunTech, they had to arrange some cover, which they did quickly and kept me informed when having to do so.

Had many calls from FunTech throughout the two week course to see how my daughter was getting on, it was reassuring to know that they wanted her to have a good experience and to see whether there was anything that could be done to improve it.

I have no doubt that we will be booking onto another course in the future.

Excellent week of learning

My son had a great week extending his coding knowledge. I am grateful that Funtech keep extending the syllabus so that he can do a new course each summer.

My son really enjoyed the 2 week (half day) virtual course on 3D gamning with Unreal engine. Funtech asked for a bit of pre-course prep from me as a parent (checking Broadband speed and computer spec - it was all reasonable to ask and fairly straightforward) and took 2x20mins.

We used childcare vouchers to pay (you need to pay upfront by card but then we got the money back quickly from Funtech once the childcare scheme had sent their payment). Without this option I do not think we would have booked the course.

Overall I was impressed with how my son remained engaged over the whole two weeks and he seems to have retained a real interest in the subject and learned other transferable skills. The person running the course seems to have struck a good balance between moments where they are all chatting and others when they are progressing the specific course elements.

Overall very good and certainly a good review from my son.

Thr Fun Typer course content is pretty dry, but the course tutors made it fun for them and my son is now typing so much better, I would definitely recommend this course.

We flew from Frankfurt to London to join the summer day camp! My husband found the fun tech camp on the internet, as we were looking for summer activities for our son. After reading the course introduction, its plan, and the previous reviews, we booked the day camp at Wimbledon King's college school. We stayed in London for 7 days. With the total price, we could have gone to a lux holiday somewhere else lying on the beach. But when we looked back, it was all worthwhile.

Our 7-year-old child has learned a lot about building mod development, switching him from the consumer to a little active developer. It was his first time that he had to use English in an English-speaking country. He has learned also to get along with all others in that environment, without the help of his parents.
The teachers and personnel were very friendly. They picked us up every morning outside at the entrance and walked with the children into the classroom. Because we are not from the UK, they talked to us in advance to see if everything was ok and talked to our son so he would not be upset on the first day. In the classroom, every child has their own desk and a laptop. It was summer, but the building was not so hot like outside. On each desk, there was a ventilator for each child to use.
The teachers are young . The children loved them and were not afraid to ask questions. On the last day, the parents would be allowed to enter in the last hours to see what children have done in the week. We were asked to bring a USB stick so we could download and transfer the bult mod at home. However, here it could have been better, if parents also got on -spot guide or practise on how to install that at home by themselves.
The children also had enough screen lock break and could play outside.
The learning place itself is very safe. No one can enter from outside. The toilettes are not so far away from the classroom. The camp environment is clean and beautiful.
The school location is easy to reach by bus 93 and walk 8 minutes. Alternatively, there are many free parking slots along side the main road or at side road. An Ice cream van was outside of the entrance every day in the late afternoon, just in time for the camp closing

As parents we were unsure if the course would be boring and our child wouldn't like it but the course was great, the team managed to make typing really fun and challenging at the same time which engaged the children early on.

Funtech you did a great job! Thank you.

A brilliant week

My son left every day brimming with ideas and knew knowledge - this is honestly the most inspired that I've ever seen him!
We will definitely be signing up again next summer.

Best Experience

Would like to thank everyone for an exceptional, amazing, enjoyable week for my daughter. The courses were at the high professional level, very informative and age appropriate. My child felt safe, entertained, the food was Amazing. I would highly recommend the residential camp for your child.

Looking forward coming up

Juan had great time, enjoyed the activities and the atmonphere. He looks forward coming back on the first ocassion he may have. The team was engaged and focussed on the items that matter.

Thank you to the Funtech team.

My son is not a gaming boy as such so was worried, he wouldn't be interested. However, this course was great for him. He thoroughly enjoyed it and was self-sufficient once all the software was loaded. Loading of software was a little challenging which is understandable given everyone has a different set up. We found it worked best on a PC.

Would definitely recommend. It was engaging, the learning of a good skill and a great way to keep them occupied through the holidays!

Python Virtual Coding Camp

My 12 year old son thoroughly enjoyed attending. He selected the part-time, 2 week course. This worked well throughout the summer holidays. The teacher (Musaab) was great with the children. Overall, a well ran course with excellent support. We will be signing up to the next one.
