Cyber Security: Hackathon

A very good course. A lot of content which can be used in the real world which can lead to a job in the real world. It is challenging so it is probably easier if you have done another funtech before this to help you understand some of the concepts.

Great

I learnt a lot during this course... would definitely recommend this for other children interested into hacking into other computers etc.
One thing i would change: If there are two tutors, split the group into two groups on the SECOND day not the fourth.

Good Learning Experience

Throughout the week I learnt a series of different exploits , commands and other Linux programs .
I learnt allot and would truely recommend it to other young people who are aspiring to learn more about computers.

Hackathon

You get to hack into different virtual machines and use exploits

great fun

this camp was really fun but i was really hard even on the first day but the outcomes were awesome and it was really cool. Its such a cool camp but challenging but i recommend it

excellent

it is fun but it is very hard so when i don't understand it it can be confusing.

An amazing week

It was good and i enjoyed it however i think the days were a bit too long and it should only run for max 7 hours. Apart from that the teachers were exceptional and they should be given a promotion frankly especially Sam and Daruis .

An amazing week

at the start it was hard but it became a lot easier when we split into groups and got more attention. An amazing and funny week.

Cyber Security Review

we did very interesting stuff related to hacking and many different ways to hack into machines. the teachers were nice and the breaks were long enough, the best thing in the breaks was shooting footballs :)

I didn't really actually understand anything on this course but apart from that, the teachers, Darius, Sam, were nice the students were nice who were at the camp and the break times were enjoyable. 3.5 stars

this particular course was a technological breath of air, with its multiple peaks and troughs, however the former vastly outnumbered the latter, i now have an unending love for spider man, which has little to no connection with this course, however it was fun and pretty striking, and i has left me in awe, i have also grown antlers

Difficult but Amazing

I thoroughly enjoyed my week at funtech. Everyone was really friendly and kind and although there were some technical issues throughout the week we all caught up with our tutors superb teaching. I would recommend this course to anyone interested in cyber security and fun!

it was interesting

it was hard but it was really awsome

Very good but quite fast paced course about cyber security and hacking

a very good course overall

Great hacking experiance

The hackathon course is an amazing course to do and I would highly recommend it because it teaches you how to hack in many different ways and lots of techniques how to do it. I absolutely loved it

Very Fun and Informative course!

I found my week at the cyber security hackathon very fun in the classroom and outside I learned a lot from this course and would definitely come again. Our tutor Laura was really nice and helped a lot if was stuck and made the course very interesting and fun.

Hard But Great

Extremely Advanced & Hard To Follow But Overall Very Good!

Great

Peter was very helpful , hardworking and encouraging. He helped us all progress and get through our course.

My experience at fun tech

this is an amazing camp. i really liked learning how to hack. the other students were all really nice. Although my tutor was annoyingly sarcastic at times i did learn a lot. I can't wait until i get back next year.

Brilliant course, really enjoyed

Best camp

This was a fun week that I really enjoyed

Very funny and i learned very much

The course was fantastic. I learned a lot and I enjoyed myself immensely!

Great Course!

This was very fun, I loved every moment, although the breaks could potentially have been shorter. I would highly recommend this course.

I really enjoyed this course. The content of each day is great and there is always something new to learn. I especially liked the use of open-source software so that I can continue using the tools after the course without spending lots of money. The class sized are great for productivity aswell. Although, I found the speed of the lessons are quite slow and I noticed that we did not always finish the coursework for the day before the end and had to finish the next day. Also, I think that there should be step-to-step tutorials for the excercises as the videos and task lists did not give enough help to understand that is needed. Great for intermediate students but not great for beginners. Great overall though.

Covered a lot of content

Learnt a lot of methods about getting into servers, how data can be stolen and crack passwords. Happy with what we covered in 5 days

Very Fun, Very Informative

I like this course a lot. my only problem is the length of the breaks. after 20 minutes of either of the two 30 minute breaks you want to come back in and do more work. Other than that it is great.

Our good fellows at funtech have once again provided us with a wholly satisfactory experience, which entertained me thoroughly throughout the course. Frankly, If i were to rate it against the quadratic formula of the left ventricle, it would be a solid 4.55657534545, a prestigious rating in the alternate circle theorem problem universe. Clearly, one is to compare this against the true way to eat a banana, it results in the answer to all the questions in the known universe via releasing a benevolent omnipotent AI, but more importantly, it was pretty fun.

Hackathon Review

Really enjoyed the camp, teachers were strict but good. Sometimes the course could be clearer but it was really informative with loads of content. My tutor was great. Would highly recommend to those looking for a fast-paced, informative course on hacking.

I thought the course was generally good. Seen as this course is new some of the things in relation to the content are reasonable. But a more polished version of this course would be great to see as it was really interesting and I did enjoy it. When I mean it could be polished this is what I mean : More "How to" videos would help because if you don't have any prior experience in this topic I'ts hard to fully engage in the content

Great

It is quite fast paced but is very fun, because you get to hack and have fun at the same time.

Really nice

I found this course very interesting. However, it was quite fast passed.

This course was quite fast paced but very well written and covered some very interesting content. It showed off some of the multiple ways that hackers can use to gain unauthorised access to a computer. Every part was explained in enough detail and it was easy to get help. It could have been improved by better control of some of the kids as at points there was some quite annoying disruption. Overall I would give it 4.5 / 5.

Great

Much better than the unreal engine 4 one

good

the camp was good
we learnt a lot
our instructor was really patient with us

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!

Personally, I loved this tech summer school. I learnt sp many new things that I am certain will be useful in the future. The teachers and fellow students are so nice and respectful and I couldn't have asked for a better week. 10/10 and would 100% recommend.

Ok it was all right

I liked the tutor and the work but i would recommend bringing a book a the breaks are incredibly long and boring.

I enjoyed it

I really enjoyed this course because i was always curious about how hacking works and the fact that it was so simple and easy to remember really helped me engage and enjoy the course.

great!

It was a challenging week but fun and the skills were useful. The tutors are really nice and ill guarantee that you will have fun.

goke is a legend we love him

we loved our tutor goke very nice guy but the course was too difficult for a week. all the staff is very nice especially goke. he helped all of us and made sure we understood everything before he moved on but the course was too hard.

Amazing!

It was a great week but it is to difficult to learn all that in one week

Informative and fun!

I've been to Funtech numerous times in the past, each one giving me a great, fun week and filling my brain with knowledge! Hackathon was no different - the week started off quite awkward; however, by the end few days, we all knew each other better than ever! To conclude, I found Hackathon to be a great start in learning about hacking, and anything I didn't understand was answered by my amazing tutor, Clement! Great job (as always), Funtech!

REALLY COOL Camp

we learnt a lot about linux and we were taught how to use many features of Kali (a VM) and exploit them in different ways.

Funtech review 45

This was really simple to understand and i learnt a lot. We got to use new software's and different types of computers. The tutors were really nice; they let us feed the ducklings! There is nothing to do at break and lunch times. :)

Best camp ever

The camp was really fun and was made easy to understand because we went through everything step by step . The tutor was extremely helpful.

i don't know what to call this.

i liked it to an extent. the tutors are really understanding and helpful. however the breaks are really long and there's not much to do. the course is a bit confusing but other than that i enjoyed meeting new people. :)

9/10 Camp of the year

I really enjoyed learning about john the ripper, hydra Etc (although i did not know why i came) i still really enjoyed it
