Funtech AI machine learning

Child happily entertained and learned a lot of new ways to change variables to improve AI. Thank you.

Great camp

My son hugely enjoyed his week at Funtech. The staff were warm and friendly and my son is very keen to return. Thank you!

Highly recommended

Really pleased with how the course was run. My son was so engaged. The teacher was excellent and patient with the students.

A lot of fun!

Ayesha really enjoyed camp. She built her skills, learnt new things and built something everyday. She wants to do it again.

Loved it!

Amna loved the course, learnt a ton and felt great about herself.

Well done, great teacher, would recommend to anyone whose kid plays roblox and wants to learn to build maps!

Intensive coding course, high standard of teaching, interesting content

My son enjoyed the course very much, was fully immersed in the world of coding for 5 days of virtual teaching, not missing a minute. There was much one on one advice and a high standard of teaching, so he was really motivated to attend each day and complete the project. Thank you!!

My son (9) thoroughly enjoyed this course - and wants to do another one.
Thanks guys.

He had attended several other Minecraft camps before and enjoyed them enormously but he hadn't done a code writing one before so this was his first attempt. He gained a useful overview of coding terms and it was a really good experience. He learned how to write code for many different Minecraft projects and he became confident in it.

Thanks to you all for the great idea and concept! Would be great to have a part 2 or different set of MODS for same age group, James wants to join again :)
Keep up the innovation; the future needs you!

Samantha had a great time during the two weeks virtual lessons and gain a lot from the coding lessons.

Chiamaka was very patient, engaging, answering all questions and kept Samantha interested for the two weeks!.... which was one of our worries after enrolling Samantha for the class.

There was no need for the worry because Chiamaka was the best teacher for her.

Thank you.

The course requires a bit of pre-installation to get going but the instructions were pretty clear and we were able to get going on time. Unfortunately the first half day was spent it seems with trying to get everyone else up to the same level. Once the course got going Jacob found it very simple and I often found him playing on his phone whilst waiting for others to catch up. The course did get more challenging for him but he always seemed to be sat around, waiting for others to catch up. This was the main disappointment for me, he is obviously more capable of going faster and have more challenging work set, but the course has to get everyone along at the same pace. Such a shame - he has the same issue at school, so not just a Funtech thing. But I feel that adding in extension exercises or bringing in concepts like test driven development, documentation generation, things like that would keep the more able engaged and off their phones.

I myself am in IT and thought the curriculum was a little light, and the stuff that they were coding, whilst teaching the basics, didn't seem to be engaging or exciting. Python has some great gaming libraries and graphics capabilities so it would have been good to see something at the end of the week where the students plot a graph or draw a pie chart or navigate a skier down a slope or similar.

But, at the end of the day, when asked, Jacob said he enjoyed the course and learned something new. And that's what it is all about. So no complaints - take the above as suggestions.

Our son loved it

He had a great time, was super proud of his Roblox creation - and all, in all, money well spent. The team are very professional.

My son did the python game developer course with fun tech in the Easter break. The course was laid out and executed well. He thoroughly enjoyed it and learned a lot along the way.

They were kept engaged throughout the sessions and were very complimentary of the instructors.

Caring staff

My child enjoyed the programme very much. What impressed me was when my child was late in attending one morning, one of the staff quickly called to check/remind.

I hope the residential camp would reopen soon.

Java Coder

This was an excellent course....this was the first fun tech course that we have done and it won't be the last. The tutor was exceptionally clear and very engaging. We hope to do something similar over the summer.

I have now decided to register him for the term time courses. Excellent course!

Our son has learnt a lot and now he knows what a real scripting is about. He still loves. 3hrs were a lot but doable. It was amazing to see what he was able to do after a week of learning.

Hi,

James really enjoyed the Minecraft course and felt he learnt a lot from it.

I could see that he was engaging really well and focusing on the task at hand. The pace of the course was good and Omar made sure that he had plenty of time to devote to each student.

We had a couple of software issues during the week and these were dealt with very efficiently by Liam.

It would be good if you could send an email to parents at the end of the course with list of the useful links that were put in the chat area during the week. As you can imagine the kids do not bookmark these links and they would be very useful for parents to have.

We weren't convinced our daughter, aged 7, would stay engaged in the sessions but she wanted to do the course after watching her sister doing the course. She doesn't have a long attention span. During (school) home learning we noticed her getting bored and trying to avoid going to her online sessions. She loved her (FunTech) sessions, staying really focused we could hear her answering lots of the questions and creating some really cool mods.

She is really proud of her creations and has sent photos to her friends.

Her tutor was really helpful when the students had problems, answering questions and finding solutions. She's had a brilliant camp - thank you!

The course was great but what impressed me even more was FunTech's real desire to make sure that every child was on a course for their level, that they were enjoying it and were learning. It was genuine care not a case of taking your money and that was it. My son found his original course too challenging so the Fun Tech team got on the phone and rang me with suggestions for alternatives. They clearly wanted to make it a great experience for him. I wouldn't hesitate to book again with FunTech.

We are not locals in UK, but we managed to enrol our kids for the 2 weeks virtual camp. We are living in Asia. The 9am class was perfect for our kids which was 2pm here.
The tech support was great and prompt in solving any problems we had.
Mike was the teacher for the camp. He was excellent and very patient with the kids. He started off with the basic introduction of Minecraft which was good for kids who hasn't played Minecraft before.
Mike always check that all the children have managed to complete the stage before he goes on to the next step.
My son, Tristan was glad that he learnt to create the elevator which was really cool. This course gave him more insight of what other creations he can do.
Tristan is looking forward to have another virtual camp with Funtech.
Thank you so much.

My son says ‘amazing’

In his words “Teacher was nice. It was fun. Helpful teacher. Learnt a lot. Other kids were nice. Can now do lots of loops” (whatever that is!!).
From my point of view, he was happy and engaged and enjoyed each session.

Great course

My son loved the 3D game designer course. He’s 12 and it was just right for him. The tutor guided the children through how to use the software and helped them with anything they got stuck with when designing their own games. The perfect course for creative minds!

My daughter found this course really engaging and fun. The instructor was very patient and worked to ensure an even pace in the group. She liked creating the games and programmes and sharing her work with the rest of the family.

Staff were really helpful and responsive to his needs and wishes on daily basis. Thank you very much!

I had two children on the course. It was perfect for my older child (12) who had some Python experience previously, so he enjoyed the new skills learned on this course. I would only recommend this course for younger children if they have the typing skills required and some knowledge of Python as it was a little bit tough for my 10 yo to keep up. He did however, learn about the world of Python and walked away with some amazing new skills to build on but required support from his parents during the week to keep up. Overall, the teachers were very helpful and stepped in every time someone needed help. I would definitely recommend FunTech half-time courses to parents as they a great way to give your children a chance to learn new skills.
