Fun, challenging and Interesting

Everything was very challenging yet fun and interesting,
I really enjoyed the course and it has now become a hobby of mine!
Will do this again!

Overall fun, good

Enjoyed the course and felt that some of the tasks really challenged me and strengthened my knowledge of the things I already knew a taught me some things that I didn't know before.

Good for understanding coding and learning Python

I know much more than I used to know about Python and I'm proud of what I've coded this week. There are extensions for when you have finished the main task and this is good because then I wasn't bored while waiting for other people to finish.

Fun

This has been a good experience with me learning a bit of code and now know how to code better.

GOOD

it was an educational and fun week with 5 breaks including lunch and not strict

I had lot's of fun during my time at funtech and will be sure to come again for another course

I came here for the second time in my life, so I had quite high expectations, because last year was amazing. That was more because of the people I met, so it was obvious that this year wouldn't be the same, given that the said people weren't here this year.
This week was very fun too - and I really enjoyed the course. The tutors and teachers were really nice and I learnt a lot more than I would've in my school. I just kind of regret having changed groups, because although the people were nice, I am curious what would've happened if I'd stayed with the older group. I still had fun with the people I was with, though.
The residence this year was really cool, and the rooms were better than last year, and I can't complain.

Overall, it was brilliant, we had a fair bit of sports along with the coding, so we weren't sitting around all day which is a necessity. The food was great as well, as their were a variety of options for those who were vegetarian or ate halal food. The accommodations were excellent, there were bathrooms in close proximity to our dorms and in some rooms there were sinks, so you could brush your teeth and wash your face there. The staff were really nice and empathetic if you were upset and helped out a good deal in the coding itself. The coding in general was excellent, we discovered a range of topics and we were taught with videos and examples and we got to do a project at the end.

Very good, learnt lots, the way the material was taught meant I found it easy to retain lots of information and I am a lot better at programming than I was before! The tutor was super helpful and answered everyone's questions, and since we were ahead of schedule, we were even taught extra stuff! Most people were on 10 mins before the lesson started so we even got extra time.

overall very helpful, would recommend :)

Python Coder

I really enjoyed the lessons. I have learnt so much about Python over the past 5 days and everyone in my group is so helpful.

It was fun and I learned a lot.

I very much enjoyed my time here at Funtech learning about python. I have made lots of friends here so feel safe and comfortable learning. Whenever I didn't understand something I all ways got help and it is very much worth coming if you want to learn so basic python.

I learned a lot.

It was very good everything was well explained and overall very fun

FunTech Review

I have enjoyed my time over the past week with FunTech and it has changed by understanding and knowledge of Python Coding massively. I would leave a good review because the atmosphere was productive, friendly and innovative. I would recommend to others in this age range.

How i found funtech

YAY. It was incredible. The whole week was great. I learned so much and i made some good friends here

i found the week quite challenging but i had lots of fun coding stuff i have never done before and it was very interesting and tricky, however, our teacher always helped us when we needed it. some stuff were hard and some stuff were easier than others

It was amazing. The camp was nice. The breaks we had in the middle were nice and the teachers were nice.

Review

Very good, I learned things that were my original goal to learn, it was fun, I progressed, e.t.c. I enjoyed the camp and in the end I did learn a lot of stuff.

Very engaged coding lesson, very good overall

The coding lessons seems well- structured, could be better to spend a bit time in each day to explain the learning objects and outcomes, and have a summary at the end of each lesson for study focus. There are some teaching contents delivered by direct recorded videos, which seems not very effect

The coding lessons seems well- structured, could be better to spend a bit time in each day to explain the learning objects and outcomes, and have a summary at the end of each lesson for study focus.

There are some teaching contents delivered by direct recorded videos, which seems not very effective and kids may think they are not very interesting. Hand-on projects are embedded in the lesson which is very good, maybe some blend in more quiz or mini games in a group setting could keep students more concentrated in the study.

Great! Would recommend!

Tutors are very good at teaching, and the course is very helpful and inclusive. The only reason it isn't 5 stars is £475 for an online call is quite expensive. otherwise, this was great!

Srujana's review

The Funtech was really useful. My favourite bit was today as we were free to code whatever we wanted. Really happy with it. Would definitely recommend to my friends. Thankyou!

Jessica's review

It was quite fun and interesting although at the start of the course it was a bit frustrating because I already knew print statements.

funtech python

I feel more confident using python because the tutor made sure we that all understood what we were doing. I learnt a lot in 2 weeks and enjoyed doing the final project.

Excellent course

My son thoroughly enjoyed the course and the tutor was brilliant! My only issue is the python dev environment. It was a bit intrusive for the tutors to have full control of our home computer. My son as a matter of principle and his age doesn’t have his own computer so has to use mine. Other

My son as a matter of principle and his age doesn’t have his own computer so has to use mine. Other providers use a virtual environment which has python embedded for similar courses.

Good Week

It was a good week. The days were very long, but it was fun. I learned a lot and the Friday was cool, because we could do our own little game

Fun and Helpful

I learnt a lot of new skills and it helped e develop my existing Python knowledge. Everyone including the Tutors were very helpful if we were stuck and it was fun because there was a balance and we got enough breaks

Good

The week was good. The days were long, but I had a lot of fun and learned much.

Useful and Helpful

i learnt a lot of skills through this that are very helpful towards my GCSE.

The course was good and the battleship task was challenging, however at some points it went a bit slow.

The course was very informative and fun. I learnt a lot and using that knowledge at the end to create a project was very rewarding. However I found that not enough time was spend recapping the difficult topics. This made it so I had a very good understanding of most of the topics by the end but there were a few more complicated topics such as for loops which I didn't understand quite as well because not enough time was spent on them.
However, overall the course was extremely good and now that I have completed it I have a good understanding of the basics of programming.

good but can be slow at times

The course was fun and interactive but at times felt a bit like a school lesson and felt a bit slow over all I felt like I learnt a lot and I liked the scheduled 15 minute breaks to let us relax and ease stress if you need help just ask and they will trouble shoot and teach you the problem and fix

Python Coder Residential Camp

My son enjoyed his week long residential camp with Funtech at Tonbridge. He learned a lot and from my perspective the camp was very well organised. While it's not Funtech's fault that some children are disruptive to the point of impacting negatively other participants' experience, nevertheless Funtech staff should be trained to deal with such situations. My son said there was virtually no discipline, and one particular child's behaviour was completely out of order to the point of extremely inappropriate, yet he was allowed to carry on like that through out the week. This would be the main area of improvement I would recommend.

My week

When I arrived I was utterly amazed about the delicious food at dinner and lunch.I liked the movies and dogeball bannanas

This camp is great!

good teachers and good webs and you learn a lot at this camp

Good starter course

good start to python teaches the basics in a fun engaging way

FunTech review

The course was really fun and beneficial to my knowledge of coding Python. However, for the past 3.5 days, we have just been coding games, which can get fairly boring after you have coded the majority of games.

They enjoyed the tuition (thank you Isaac and Robin), scuba diving, made some good friends and assure me they ate well! They are both keen to return for Level

Brilliant Coding

On the first day I was very nervous but as it progressed I felt better and better. I made friends and thought the coding overall was good. They are very creative and the projects are very fun. It was more fun than work.
