Funtech, An experince you won`t forget.

Overall, This week was packed with fun and gave me lots of stuff to do to keep me happy. The only problomes were that it was far away for me and also it was really sunny. I will recommend this for 7-13yr olds. The reason for this is we use a slightly complicated coding thing called "unreal engine".

Amazing Course

This is an amazing course. It helps us learn how to truly hack. It also teaches us how to protect ourselves against hackers. I will consider to do another course. Although, it had some problems with unmannered peers. Although we still learned the whole course and it was amazing. Thank you!

FunTech Response


I am sorry that you experienced this.

Two students who started out as great friends, did a 180 and clashed, which sadly happens sometimes. 

I believe separating the two resolved this matter. 

I am glad you learnt new skills and thought the course was amazing.

See you again next summer!

I learnt a lot with a verry big expierience fantastick lessons and begin to just know what to do off by heart

The only negative thing is that the lessons should be more shorter

FunTech Response


The reason the lessons are longer is because you are doing a Fast Track course where you are going at double the pace of the Standard Tracks.

Let's review this for the up coming Autumn term.

Good course

The content of this course was interesting and I learned how to code a lot of different elements such as creating a server and clients.
Each lesson was a little bit too short for the content we had to cover so we were sometimes behind the unit number

FunTech Response


I believe the group had a lot of questions and as such the group were behind.

That said, we extended the lessons and added some prep sessions so all content was successfully covered by the end of the course.

Looking at the groups end of term test results, due to the intense questioning, your group were in the top ten of all students at FunTech! 

Pays to ask questions in class! 

Can't believe the upcoming year will be the 7th year for you at FunTech!

See you in September!

FunTech Response


I believe that you fell behind on a few homework assignments, which then resulted in these having to be redone, which I can appreciate can be demotivating.

That said... you have now caught up and I believe a great lesson learnt - don't fall behind ;)

Course Feedback

I found this course to be very useful and well-explained. All problems that I have mentioned have all been dealt with quite nice. The teachers are quite friendly and really good at communicating with students. Despite that however I find it a bit cumbersome to have type reviews every lesson as it is

FunTech Response


The reason we ask for feedback after each session, is to ensure that you have fully understood what has been taught, if not of course we would book a 1-2-1 prep session for you. 

So sadly, a must!

Interesting but difficult

An interesting course about gaming in python but a lot of code needs to be memorised. Quite a bit of content and time needs to be spent learning it all. It is very intriguing to learn.

FunTech Response


The previous 3 years of courses that you have done with us are about learning Python and Python OOP.

This course teaches how to implement those skills in building a game engine, which is challenging.

However, I can see that you have not completed any of your Consolidate IT challenges which are available after class, and their objective is to help you consolidate what you covered in class.

Next year I would highly recommend that you complete these as C++ will be even more challenging :)

Great year, learnt a lot

At the start I thought there'd be no way I'd be able to make a 2D game engine in Python, but here I am I guess. The Tutor was great and clearly knew a lot more than what was needed, so that was really great. I did get lost along the way a few times but I understood what was going on in general qu

FunTech Response


I am so thrilled that you learnt how to make a 2D Game Engine!

Back in the day the course used to teach by building on a single project however, we felt that it didn't really teach all the principles to the standard we wanted.

We therefore developed another course where the primary focus was on teaching the concepts, where all students could go away and develop their own game. 

Both courses were piloted and the course where we focused on teaching concepts won hands down!

That said, I will pass your comments to our development team and see if there is anything that could be done.

Hi Hugo, we know you well now as you have just completed your 4th year with FunTech and am thrilled that you have enrolled for your 5th year with us.

Whilst I am sorry you didn't enjoy Advanced Word Processing which was covered in term one, I am extremely happy to see that you did really well on your end of term test. 

That said, we know you love the more technical courses and so not surprised you really enjoyed Advanced Spreadsheets and Databases with SQL.
