This week I learned a lot of things about how to make games in python, and lots of new coding skills which I will definitely implement in the future. We made a game from the ground up which was really difficult but now we know how to do it. Our tutor always helped us out when we needed help, answered our questions, and made sure we understood everything.

Funtech pygame course

It was a very fun five days, It was very fun to recap python, but also learn way more things with coding. I definitly will do another course some day, and even though it was a bit tricky in some places with my bad wifi, It was still understandable! But my only problems were mainly my own wifi.

Funtech MUST do more of this stuff for children!

I think FunTech is a great place to learn and apply the knowledge we already know and what we have learned. My overall review is 9.9% out of 10%, I love doing this stuff. :-D

Amazing course for learning how to make 3d games

This course helped me in many ways on making 3d games. It teaches you how to make game logic, level design and landscaping. Despite having previous 2d game development experience (and knowing many of the concepts) making the switch to 3d adds many more techniques and this course taught me a lot. Wit

With the help of this course, I can now start making my own 3d games.

The course is good

The course is very good and the tutor quite helpful and patient in dealing with kids. The course content is well structured.
I expected a bit of low level coding basics in Python or Java..

My son started working on Java coding on Khan academy while in lockdown and asked if he could get a tutor to support him. He has been with funtech before so I signed him up for the 1 week virtual camp. At first, I had doubts he would even bother waking up in the mornings and sitting through the lesson till 5pm. To my surprise, every single day he woke up, ready to go and enjoyed every part of the lesson. The tutor knew how well to engage with the students to keep them motivated. He has been working on his project, which I hope he would reveal soon. I cannot wait for the next camps. It was one of the top highlights of lockdown for him

A good course

My son enjoyed the Roblox course and is happy about what he learnt in it.

Python Coder camp experience

My son has enjoyed it very much and said it was really on time and in depth before resuming a term-time at his school.

Python Coding Course

Zac found the course was interesting to learn a new computer language. He enjoyed it more than C++. He felt that the course was a bit long.

Python Game Developer

Jamie found the course and tutor very pleasant. Due to Jamie’s prior experience he was given his own tasks while the tutor taught the rest of the group to start with.

Jamie very much enjoyed the project task towards the end to the week. We have to say a very big thank you to Jamie’s tutor for giving Jamie extra time during the week. That was more than Jamie could have hoped for. Jamie is looking forward to term time now.

My 9 year old daughter did this course and had so much fun! Creative and inspiring course, a great way for minecraft lovers to create new weapons, creatures, etc. A fun way to spend the summer holiday. Thank you Funtech!

My 11 year old son did this course and absolutely loved it! Very well run, stimulating and informative, a great way to spend 2 weeks of holiday time. Thoroughly recommend it!

My daughter (13 years old) took the Python Coder and then the Python Game Developer, each as two weeks of morning sessions. The two courses complemented each other well in that the Game Developer course picked up where the Coder course left off with minimal repetition.

Learning a programming language can be difficult without an end goal to work to, so it was good that each course culminated in a challenge to build an application. The game she devised during the Game Developer course was impressive - she was really pleased with it and enjoyed explaining how it worked to other people in the family.

Doing each camp as two weeks of half-days suited her because she found the courses quite intense and so was glad of time away from them in the afternoons. She was also impressed with the level of knowledge of the course instructors.

Altogether, the courses have provided her with a firm grounding in the basics of Python with enough knowledge to understand the structure of the language and to write quite complex routines using common commands and variable types..

Minecraft Mods virtual camp

Alexi loved doing the course. It was well organised, the teacher was punctual and it kept my son interested and stimulated for the whole morning. Alexi learned new things and feels more confident as a result. We'd definitely do a similar course if we can find the right fit for us.
Thanks!

Adnan enjoyed his time at virtual camp and learnt new techniques he will apply going forward. Thank you to the funtech team for being promptly available for resolving technical issues when we reported them.

Python

Our grandson undertook the two week mornings python course online. It was brilliant and helped him tremendously

Python Game Developer

We would like to attend this camp again, preferably with another theme to practice with guidance. Many thanks!

My 7 year old son really enjoyed his first experience of a virtual coding camp.

Our son really enjoyed these courses. He’s a little gaming/coding geek so this was a brilliant way to entertain him over summer.

It has been a very good experience for my daughter. At the beginning she found the pace a bit difficult but thanks to the support she caught up with the class. We will have another Virtual class soon.
Hope you could start your courses soon in the actual classes.

My son who is 8 signed up for the 2 week, 3 hour a day virtual coding camp after a couple of taster sessions. I was amazed at his level of engagement and thrilled to see him on line doing something productive and useful, learning skills that will be invaluable. The facilitator was brilliant at keeping a small class happy and engaged and sat still for the most part, for 3 hours, even more amazing when my son finds it very hard to sit still normally thanks very much - Andrea

Thank you for a fantastic course! Adam absolutely loved it. His tutor, Adam, was excellent. He got the class fully engaged and there was a good balance between listening to concepts and trying them out.

We loved the fact that he learnt real life concepts like the logic gates, while having fun with Minecraft which he loves.

When he lost part of his course work, we were so impressed with the responsiveness of the Funtech online helper. Adam his tutor then spent additional time with him prior to his lesson to ensure all his course work was back in place.

What a fantastic experience! Thank you Funtech!

Having originally signed up to a day camp we were pleased to be able to switch to a virtual camp for Roblox Game Making. My daughter (9) loved the course and found the presenter knowledgable, engaging and approachable. The course itself was detailed and included not only learning about game building but also the mechanics and physics behind how objects moved etc. A fantastic course all round and I would have no hesitation in recommending it! Thank you.

My son really enjoyed being able to do the course from home although as a parent I would have liked him to have got to know the other students on the course, I would imagine they are like-minded people with similar interests.

My son says that he enjoyed experimenting with the props the best and enjoyed the whole experience of the doing the course online. He especially liked the fact that he could work in the mornings and have the afternoon off.

The course was expensive but I didn't mind, especially as I could use childcare vouchers. It felt like money well spent.

It would have been great if this course was the start of some kind of qualification in 3D gaming design as I can see my son doing the next level of this course next Summer or on the next holiday. It would be great if he could eventually gain a qualification from doing a series of courses over a number of holidays or years (similar to ballet where the RAD grades are equivalent to GCSE grades which go higher the more grades you do (grade 1 being equivalent to a D or E at GCSE) - young people can then use these qualifications on their CV when applying for their first jobs).

3D game design camp

My 13 year old son had a great time on the course, he liked the tutors and said they were very helpful and fun to learn from. The content of the course was good and my son came away with a racing game he developed and which he continues to play with and amend.

Learning to write python

Our son found the virtual camp excellent. He was amazed by the tutor and the content of the learning. A good head start for his future in a fun way!

My 14 year old son has done three courses over the summer. He also did Python Coding and Python Game Developer. He said this one (3D Game Design) was the most fun. All of them have kept him fully occupied and he has enjoyed them and learnt from them. We encountered a problem with this one (our fault, not Funtech's) in that my son's laptop was not good enough to download the software and so we swapped him to our main computer. The support and contact from the Funtech team was very helpful, prompt and efficient.
