Sophocles had been looking forward to the course for months and he enjoyed his time. The first morning was a little frustrating as despite the reminders you had sent, some children arrived without the correct software installed which delayed the start of the session. The pace of the first day was slow as the course caters for a wide age range and ability of children and there were no extension activities to complete, but he didn't make this known to the tutors. This improved on the second day after he had asked for further activities. They spent a long time in the same room, not sure if they went out much at breaktime and lunchtime to make the most of the school's play areas. I'd also have a mobile phone policy where the children hand them in and get them back at the end of the day otherwise they spend their freetime on more screens rather than engaging with each other. I know that all sounds negative, sorry it's not meant to be - overall it was something different for Sophocles, not something he would otherwise have learned about, and he is hoping to go into cyber security as a career so your tutors definitely did lots right (and it was great to see that they weren't all male",

Mon SDF | 5 Today I have Understood everything during day one of my hackathon course
Tue SDF | 4 Today I completed Day 2 of my Hackathon course and I understood most of the content to a decent degree. Action Taken: End of day Recap
Wed SDF | 5 Today I completed Day 3 of my Hackathon course and have understood all of the content to a good standard.
Thu SDF | 3 Today I completed Day 4 of my Hackathon Course I completed most of the activities to a acceptable degree. However I feel that some of the content was disorganised as certain activities were impossible due to restrictions on the provided laptops as well as there being a poor amount of focus within the class. Action Taken: Due to Windows Defender being updated, a part of the course doesn't currently work. No easy fix for this, so we unfortunately had to skip this section. Did a tutor swap with a stronger tutor to control the class more.
Fri SDF | 5 I enjoyed this course, However in part it was slightly disorganised due to some of the security on the laptops preventing the completion of some tasks. This course drastically broadened my knowledge of the Linux OS and Command Prompt and was very interesting in general.
Action Taken | Lead Spoke to parent:
"Talked to the parent and asked for the overall experience. She said that the kid loved the camp and didn't even complain about getting up early. The complaints she mention is that several people didn't have software in the beginning which delayed the start and also he wished for faster pace of learning but the mother understands that accommodating varying abilities within a class with multiple kids is not easy."
Response to issues raised:
Students arriving without correct software installed | I'm a little confused on this one, as though this is very true for the other courses and unfortunately a major and difficult to avoid downside of BYOD, Hackathon uses all FunTech laptops. Perhaps she has spoken to other parents with students in other classes?
Slow Pace and Lack of Extension Challenges | This seems to have improved once he let the tutors know he was finishing early so he could be provided with additional challenges, but I do think tutors should have been more on the lookout and doing this proactively. I will say it is quite tricky to provide interesting extension exercises for Hackathon as there is a limited amount of ways to exploit the target machines, and the first day is very dry as it's just learning Linux terminal commands for basic functions.
Not making use of outdoor space | This is true. At Westminster, most students wanted to stay indoors during the breaks and sometimes the tutors were letting them. Once I was aware of this I ensured that all breaks were taken outside of the classroom regardless of what the students wanted.
Mobile phone Policy | Something to think about with extending the phone system we use at residential, but would be tricky and costly to deploy across all day camp locations.

We understand that different families have varying preferences in this regard. To address this, we will be introducing a yellow card and red card policy starting in 2024. During lesson time, students will need permission to use their phones. A yellow card will be issued for the first offense, and should it happen again, a red card will follow, resulting in phone confiscation. We hope this solution accommodates the preferences of all parents and fosters a conducive learning environment.<br></p><p>We genuinely value your insights, and they help us enhance the FunTech experience for all our students.

I did provide verbal feedback to one of your colleagues after the course but I'll try and summarise it, seems a long time ago already! Sophocles had been looking forward to the course for months and he enjoyed his time. The first morning was a little frustrating as despite the reminders you had sent, some children arrived without the correct software installed which delayed the start of the session. The pace of the first day was slow as the course caters for a wide age range and ability of children and there were no extension activities to complete, but he didn't make this known to the tutors. This improved on the second day after he had asked for further activities. They spent a long time in the same room, not sure if they went out much at breaktime and lunchtime to make the most of the school's play areas. I'd also have a mobile phone policy where the children hand them in and get them back at the end of the day otherwise they spend their freetime on more screens rather than engaging with each other. I know that all sounds negative, sorry it's not meant to be - overall it was something different for Sophocles, not something he would otherwise have learned about, and he is hoping to go into cyber security as a career so your tutors definitely did lots right (and it was great to see that they weren't all male
FunTech Response
Thank you for taking the time to provide us with your valuable feedback; we genuinely appreciate it.
Regarding the software installation issue on the first day of the Hackathon - Cyber Security course, I'd like to clarify that FunTech provide all the necessary laptops, which eliminates the need for any software installation.
The first day of the course is designed to ensure that all children start from a common point. While some students may be more advanced, others may require more guidance. After reviewing the notes and videos from the first day, it seems that Sophocles was actively engaged at his computer. Nevertheless, we acknowledge your point about the pace, and, moving forward, we will encourage students to inform tutors when they've completed a task. This will enable us to offer additional extension exercises to meet varying skill levels.
As for break times, our policy includes two morning breaks, two afternoon breaks, and lunchtime during which all children are encouraged to go outside and make the most of the school's play areas.
Your input on the mobile phone policy is well-noted. We understand that different families have varying preferences in this regard. To address this, we will be introducing a yellow card and red card policy starting in 2024. During lesson time, students will need permission to use their phones. A yellow card will be issued for the first offense, and should it happen again, a red card will follow, resulting in phone confiscation. We hope this solution accommodates the preferences of all parents and fosters a conducive learning environment.
We genuinely value your insights, and they help us enhance the FunTech experience for all our students. Thank you for your feedback, and we're looking forward to continually improving our courses.
Parent,

This was our first time at a FunTech residential camp, although my kids have been going to sleep-away camps for years.
Competent, well-trained staff and very nice facility.
For the price I was expecting more: surprised that it wasn’t a full week (5 nights only); no swag (typically a camp will send you home with a t-shirt or water bottle—my son only got a silicone bracelet.
FunTech could have at least included a USB which would have been on-brand instead of have kids bring their own); and the communication wasn’t great—the email published in the brochure was outdated and I called the number and left a message, but no one answered or replied.
Overall it was a good week of coding for my son but operations could be improved, especially given the price tag.
FunTech Response
Our website clearly states that our residential camp is a five night stay. During booking there is an option for an extended stay, for a small fee, that includes Friday and Saturday night.
With reference to 'swag' which I presume is a goodie bag - with the current economic climate, the pricing for goodie bags was astronomical and instead of increasing the fees we decided to not include.
The silicone bracelet was more for the operations team, to be aware of the children who were on the residential camp as opposed to day students.
All emails that are addressed to @funtech.co.uk, come into our mailbox, which also allows for any spelling errors.
The telephone number and email on our welcome pack are correct and have been the same since 1996.
I can only apologise for not getting back to you, though we have no messages or emails that are outstanding, so not sure where these were sent.
We feel that our residential location is outstanding, one of the top schools in the country for which we have to pay a hefty price tag.
In addition our residential has a dedicated pastoral team and the children do premium activities for example scuba diving.
FunTech make a huge investment in curricula development and tutor training, delivering outstanding quality which is why our courses are successful.
That said, I am glad to read that you thought it was great immersion and your son had a good week of coding.

My Children have enjoyed the courses at Funtech and although expensive I think they are worth it. Their Computer Support Guy Lucas is amazing and helps download the programmes the children need. My only gripe is all messages are all on the website so you will get a text message on your phone that only tells you to go to the portal to read the message which is just frustrating and then once completed the course they do not print out certificates and post which it would be nice to have a proper certificate on headed paper, and even requested they don't accommodate.

Very disappointed with this course. It was not cheap and the tuition was very minimal. Studying conditions were bad enough to give my child back ache problems. All in all it seemed expensive childcare which is not what we needed.
