It was very interesting learning about cyber security and different ways to hack into machines and websites. It also teaches how to not get hacked yourself .

It was alright! very tiring and I had to take a LOT of breaks throughout but I think I learned something. Thanks a lot FunTech!
FunTech Response
Sorry to hear you found it very tiring. As a standard we take two 15 minute breaks in the morning, two in the afternoon plus an hour for lunch.
However, this course is very technical and so perhaps that made it a lot more intense.

This is a very good camp and i have learn a lot of things. Hacking is really fun especially learning with my peers. I have made many friendships and they have made this camp even better. Learning hacking teaches me a lot of things about all the commands that you can use.

I learnt new and interesting skill. But I think we should move from section to section more quickly. Also the computers worked fine apart from a crash every now and again
FunTech Response
The challenge we have is that the entire class has to move at the same pace, however, those that finish early are given extension exercises to stretch their knowledge.
Sadly, the computers do crash if too many items are added - but that is a learning experience to balance how many items you can add based on the memory.
The laptops that are provided for this course are high spec with large amounts of memory, however... add to much and they will still crash!

FunTech Response
I am sorry that you and your friend had to restart your workspace, however, sadly we cannot control computers crashing especially for the creative courses where lots of elements are added.
I checked with your tutor and he tells me you are both fully caught up and have working games!

My experience was incredible and the tutors were helping me with all of my laptop issues but my experience was ruined by one person, George.
FunTech Response
Very occasionally, we have a student for whom the course is not right. We did speak to the parents and then gave him another day to improve his behaviour. However, when that didn't happen he didn't return for the third day.
I am sorry that this ruined your experience, but we have to give the children a chance.
This course has high spec laptops, however, adding so many elements to your game, sadly will make it crash.
But am happy to read you had a fun time at FunTech.

i found the length a day a little long but i got a lot done and i had a good time i learnt a great amount i think that the teachers were great i had a good time but some times the teachers werent as knowlegable as i would hope i think overall good but not amazing as it says in the title
FunTech Response
I am extremely sorry to hear that you didn't think our teachers were not as knowledgeable as you would have like. However, looking at the lesson, tutor and your daily feedback, I think you were asking for aspects that were outside of the scope of the course.
We are going to look at exploring the next level of this course which will cover the concepts that you would have liked to have covered in this course.
Glad to see that you you did a lot and learn a great amount.

it was sooooooooooooooooooo good and i loved the mods we made i really liked that we made mobs and biomes (now i know why you call it FUNtech.
but i am really annoyed that i had to reset everything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! except for that it was great :) :)
FunTech Response
Well firstly I am glad you loved the course.
Sadly, adding so many elements to your game, will make it crash and therefore you were asked to reset your game.
Had we not asked you to do that, I think you would have had more problems going forward. Sorry.

Alright, get ready for an essay.
I've done funtech 3 times, and out of all of those times, 3D game design was the most fun. It was engaging, fun, and I made some friends. I enjoyed alot learning how to make 3D games using unreal engine. I had an amazing time and I loved the pack lunches the most :)

Great experience, very supportive and kind tutors, I have learnt a lot and it was amazing, most of the students were very kind and supportive
The only bad experience were a few students who were very disruptive.
FunTech Response
We are really sorry about the disruptive students. We spoke to one of the families and asked for better behaviour and if he could not adhere to the rules that we could not accept him back. He didn't return.
However, the next day there were two further students who were in the same group, so on the morning of the third day we split the group into two classrooms and then I believe all went smoothly.
Once again apologies for this.
