Excellent stuff all-round - with engaging, exciting tutors - and appropriately designed interactive course content to complement. FunTech provided all of the required equipment for the course - with everything we needed to get started pre-setup before we arrived.

You can expect:
- A teaching style quite different from that in the classroom
- Productive learning environment
- Tutors who can connect well to you (many being at university)
- Opportunity to connect with others

If you feel a little put off by the vague course description - rest assured - there's plenty of content - "fundamentals" on a different level. When you're not learning, you'll be doing something else productive with your fellow students - plenty of students in my class decided to create their own (successful!) viruses. Brilliant evening activities and food at Tonbridge. There's something for everyone - you've just got to be engaged.

You'll also be able to meet quite a lot of new people - from all kinds of ages. Other than the course content, it's a chance to learn more about others - especially for residential students.

If you've got remotely any kind of attention span at all, this course will make you happy. I wouldn't be writing such a long review otherwise.

P.S. FunTech do accept childcare vouchers, if that makes a diffference.

Hackathon

Joe and the Sams are cool.

Learning about BEEF was so much fun, and now I know how to hack people's computers :D

Hackathon

Hackathon was fun and it was interesting to learn and to hack into computers. I enjoyed the camp and would reccommend it.

Extremely fun and exciting

Really good and fun with a great tutor Hibah H.

Great week

Very fun and interesting week, learnt a lot and had fun with tutors and other students.

Very fun and interesting week, learnt a lot and had fun with tutors and other students. Well-structured day due to the frequent breaks and long lunch, the course was interesting and useful and there were very few technical issues. Day 5 was the best day because I got to put to use all of the skills and techniques I had learnt during the first four days and it felt satisfying when I completed each task.

Big thanks to my tutor Hibah for being kind, understanding and knowledgeable.

Would definitely recommend and 100% worth the money.

A good camp

This was really fun and I enjoyed learning all the Linux commands and using them to hack into multiple servers. I recommend this camp to everyone interested in cyber-security.

Amazing Week!

I found the Hackathon (Cyber Security) Camp amazing. I had so much fun, while also learning a lot about ethical hacking.

I would definitely recommend this camp!

CYBER SECURITY: HACKATHON

We had so much fun hacking, we learnt a lot about stuff such as FTP (File Transfer Protocol) and HTTP (Hyper-Text Transfer Protocol). We even made some jokes about TPG (The Password Game). I learnt a lot about Linux and found out how to do things I would have never even dreamed of doing. This course was amazing and I really recommend you do this, especially if you have prior coding experience. The camp had a lot of funny moments and I really enjoyed it.

Great club!

I’ve come here 3 times, and every time it gets better. I’d definitely recommend coming, because it taught me (and my friends) how to code properly. The staff are really nice too.

SO FUN! Definately worth it!

I had so much fun and learned so much more about coding this week; the teachers were so helpful! Thank you!

hackathon camp

I think that the class I did was very interesting and I learnt a lot from the teachers.

Funtech was fun

Overall hackathon was very good and when I didn’t understand the teachers explained it to me. I would definitely come to funtech again!!

best program

one of the best class I've had in my life

nice camp

I enjoyed the camp

Funtech - Hackathon

Hackathon was a really fun class! It was a little difficult at times but the teachers were really helpful and always made sure we understood everything. I’d definitely come to funtech again.

Cybersecurity Hackathon

This was great for my daughter of 16yrs. It was very engaging. She came home feeling tired. She learnt about vulnerabilities and a bit about using linux and VMs and networking. The instructors were good.

I had a GREAT week - I thoroughly enjoyed it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I thoroughly enjoyed my time at FunTech's Hackathon course. My tutors (David and Toru) were very helpful.

I thoroughly enjoyed my time at FunTech's Hackathon course. My tutors (David and Toru) were very helpful. Toru was very good at making kahoots about our hackathon course and other general trivia and fun games in for our breaks and helping out. David was good at helping us out and fixing any problems we had with our commands. It was a very inclusive course as you did not need to know anything about the topic, and came out knowing lots. I absoloutely enjoyed the course but it was sometimes quite hard. But these hardships were quickly resolved with David or Toru helping us out! Overall, I would definitely give this course a 5/5.

However, one problem i had was the fact that we kept having to change server, as each one was a different level of hardness for hacking. But we got used to it eventually

Educational and requires hard work - but very enjoyable

I enjoyed this FunTech the most out of all the Funtech camps I have done. The work is sometimes challenge but I received a once-in-a-lifetime experience in term of education and info/knowledge.

I enjoyed this FunTech the most out of all the Funtech camps I have done. The work is sometimes challenge but I received a once-in-a-lifetime experience in term of education and info/knowledge. I managed to gel with some of my classmates despite the course only lasting 5 days due to Kahoots and other games. They tutors were amazing and helped us in times of need. I would recommend bringing a notebook as they provide so much information and material. Even my parents were very interested in what I was learning.

Great place to spend a week

Both my tutors were amazing and with one providing entertainment during the breaks and one who was amazing at helping with the course. Had such a good time and other people should definitely do this as well (if you are in to tech as it is quite information heavy) but great fun.

It was really fun. Absolutely recommend.

The tutors were really nice, mainly David, he was cool. He even downloaded Kali on my device for me. Toru helped and entertained us well during screen breaks which made the course better. The final project was amazing and really cool. I felt like a hacker and that feeling was nice. I can't thin

The final project was amazing and really cool. I felt like a hacker and that feeling was nice.
I can't think of anything to improve because the course was really helpful and covered most areas. Using programs like John, Hydra, Metasploit and BeEF was enjoyable.

Thanks David and Toru for a great experience. You are the GOATs.

Hackathon Review

My daughter enjoyed Hackathon very much and felt that she learned a lot during that week. The staff and the instructors were wonderful. My only issue with the Barbican location is that they were stuck indoors the entire day due to the lack of outdoor space. It happened to be one of the hottest weeks

My daughter enjoyed Hackathon very much and felt that she learned a lot during that week. The staff and the instructors were wonderful. My only issue with the Barbican location is that they were stuck indoors the entire day due to the lack of outdoor space. It happened to be one of the hottest weeks of the summer too. Ideally, it would have been great to have some proper screen breaks outside, but I understand why that was difficult, given the location.

Best Experience

Would like to thank everyone for an exceptional, amazing, enjoyable week for my daughter. The courses were at the high professional level, very informative and age appropriate. My child felt safe, entertained, the food was Amazing. I would highly recommend the residential camp for your child.

Great experience

My 10 year-old had a great time at Tonbridge. The camp was well-organized, with a good mix of classes, fun activities and regular timed- breaks.

A wonderful experience overall.

Cybersecurity Residential Camp

My son had a great week away at the residential cybersecurity camp this summer. His instructor was engaging and a great communicator, my son really enjoyed the course. The dormitories were super. Food was good.

We will definitely be booking again next summer.
5 stars!

Aina had a fun time learning about Ciber security.
She made many new friends and was very enthusiastic about the tutors.

Many thanks for this new and good experience!

Cyber Security

It was our first camp with Funtech and we were not disappointed.

My son enjoyed every minute of his time in the Day Camp. He has learned a lot during the week and we are planning to book another camp already.

Thank you everyone for your dedication and will see you soon.

This funtech camp is extremely good

whilst in the camp I thought there was a good balance between learning new things and fun challenges to solidify your understanding of the topic, and also my teacher Sam was exceptional at teaching. Also the residential place that we stayed at was very big and the rooms are very nice.

Great camp.

As the last day of the week of the camp, I loved doing the project which was fun and challenging which helped me alot
