Roblox Lua Coder

My son thoroughly enjoyed this course. He relished the challenge and we were very happy that he spent some of his summer holidays learning a new skill. The teacher was very good and communication with parents was excellent.

It is great course

My son had a lot of fun and learned lots of new skills. They had many different projects. We are extremely satisfied with the experience. The staff is both helpful and considerate, making me comfortable recommending this course to all.

Fun typing literally!

My son enjoyed learning how to touch type while playing games and interacting with other kids. Funtech tutoring team was as always very professional and helpful!

Minecraft Mod Developer 1 and 2

When I signed my daughter up for Minecraft Mod Developer 1, I was worried that 3.5 hours would be too long and she'd be bored and restless well before the end of the week. I couldn't have been more wrong! She was completely absorbed for every minute and by day 2 she was asking if she could do Part 2

When I signed my daughter up for Minecraft Mod Developer 1, I was worried that 3.5 hours would be too long and she'd be bored and restless well before the end of the week. I couldn't have been more wrong! She was completely absorbed for every minute and by day 2 she was asking if she could do Part 2. She's just completed that and she has loved every second :) It's been lovely hearing her chatting away whilst we're working and popping up in breaks to tell me what a brilliant time she's having. I'm amazed by what she's achieved and she's thrilled to bits with it all. She tells me the tutors have been lovely and really good at explaining how to do things and at helping them when they get stuck. She's thoroughly enjoyed the interaction with the small group of other children on the course. The administration team have also been super friendly and very helpful. It's been great for us to be able to get on with our work knowing our daughter's happy and without needing to take her somewhere and pick her up. Both parents and daughter would highly recommend these courses. Thank you FunTech for a great couple of weeks :)

Lyndon is looking forward to more courses next year. A huge thanks to Funtech for running this course for him - this is his 6th year of Funtech and he is a huge fan. We have also really enjoyed the part-time format of the virtual courses - really flexible. The ability to camp swap is greatly appreciated to. As ever, a consistently high standard. Thanks!!

Thank you for a wonderful Game Design course. My 12 year old absolutely loved it. It sparked ideas and it was wonderful to see him experimenting and trying things after the session finished each day. This was our first attempt at an online camp and we will totally do it again. The instructor kept a great eye on all his pupils, and while he had videos to play he would stop them to explain and make sure everyone understood and no one was left behind. I was very impressed at how he coached 4-5 youngsters through fairly technical IT stuff. Having the virtual control of the desk top was brilliant.

William loved every single moment of his Minecraft coding course! He had never been to the UK before and we were a little nervous for him, but when we collected him he was so happy and said he’d made friends and couldn’t wait to come back the next day! He spoke enthusiastically about his tutor and classmates, and his Minecraft projects.

He will be back next year for at least two courses!

FANTASTIC course, organisation, venue and staff! Five stars all round! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Full of fun, new friends, and learned a new skill

Our son did a residential camp and very much enjoyed the experience. He met some new friends, and learned a new skill along the way. It was great to have him there to take on the responsibilities of being independent for a week.

Touch Typing & Roblox Game Developer

My son had a great time at the above day camps. It really sparked his interest in Roblox, having previously been a mere player of games, as exciting to be able to create his own. The touch typing really reinforced his previous typing lessons - he also enjoyed the fun music!

Python coder

Good course, well-structured and easy to understand, good options for after class activities

Wonderful experience

My daughter (12) loved the course, she’s very keen to complete the next stage. It was delivered in a style that really suits her learning, afternoon sessions broken down enough to keep her attention focused (she has ADHD and dyslexia).

Lyndon really enjoyed Python OOP. The camp was very well organised and very well run. The standard of tutor is very high. Lyndon has now been doing Funtech camps for 6 years! He has thoroughly enjoyed all of them. The offering is excellent - there is something to suit everyone from Minecraft to Roblox to Robotics and coding! Both children have loved trying out the different camps. The customer service of Funtech is really good too - they are very responsive and very helpful, going out their way to accommodate us. This year, we have particularly liked the format of the part-time virtual camps and would love to do more next year! Thanks very much Funtech!

My 8 year old attended the online virtual camp this summer. I was originally a bit worried that I would have to stay with her the whole time to help her out when she became stuck- however I was pleasantly surprised she did the whole course without any assistance from myself at all. The tutor was excellent and managed to help her when she became stuck and my daughter said she really enjoyed the course and the biggest thing for me was I didn’t have to fight to get her to do it. I would def recommend for kids who love Roblox.

A great success

Both my boys were a little anxious beforehand, they did FunTyper and thought it might be a bit boring! But on day 2 they were desperate to get back to it, they loved it and are now asking to practice daily!

Great Week!

This is my daughter's second Funtech residential and she is planning her third! She thoroughly enjoyed herself, the course seems perfectly tailored to the right balance of learning and downtime.

FunTech - Minecraft with Mods review

A phenomenal week

We were looking for a tech oriented summer camp and came across Funtech's offering. We were intrigued by the hackathlon which seemed to align with our son's inclinations. We decided to give it a try, not sure if the level would be adequate nor if the overarching experience would be worth organising an international journey.
We were blown away. The whole thing is beautifully organised, the location is superb, the instructors extremely competent and going to a great length to ensure that kids leared and had fun.
Our son was so enthusiastic that he is already asking to go back next year. Rarely we had such an all-great feedback from him. He is thrilled, and so we are.
Well done, thank you.

Great experience

My son had an amazing time learning Python coding and socialising with other kids in a very exciting and stimulating environment. Fantastic team of tutors and leaders!

Learning through fun

My son loved his two weeks with FunTech. He thought he was playing minecraft, but really he learnt a lot of electronics and coding logic. Thank you so much for great summer camps!

Fun Typer Touch typing Course

My son had a great time at the Fun typer camp. The games were engaging and the team were very supportive and encouraging and made sure he got to grips with the basics of Touch Typing. I would highly recommend the course and would not hesitate to send my son again in the future.

good fun for a 8 year old Minecraft fan

First coding camp my son has done and he loved it. Going in he was very familiar with Minecraft and had used some basic mod apps on an ipad but never used a laptop before and never used MCreator.
he's keen to do it again next summer

Best summer camp ever

Both my daughters attended. This is what they said: “We had a blast and all the tutors and staff are amazing. We never got bored though we spend most of the day coding. Every activity is fun”. They are happy, I am even more… your child learns and it’s tech fun and general activities fun.

My daughter has just completed a week of python coder level2 virtual course. It was a fairly last minute decision to book as I needed to use up some accumulated childcare vouchers that would expire on her 15th birthday (few months time). The booking system was straightforward and I was refunded once the vouchers had gone through.
The programs that were necessary to install prior to the course took around an hour- a little tricky due to the firewalls in the laptop.

The tutor was very professional, engaging and knowledgeable. Regular breaks given throughout the session, timings were perfect. A well organised course, thank you.

Minecraft game coder part 1

Dylan had a really great time and enjoyed himself. He would consider doing another course during the holidays and also a weekly lesson.

Child enjoyed it so much she booked onto the second Java week!

Java P1

The teaching was good and the ration of 3-6 pupils meant that got the attention they needed.

Summer camp in Tondbridge

Excellent experience

My daughter really enjoyed the advanced python course, having done the basic one two weeks earlier.
I was surprised at the level of coding she was able to do by the end of the course and it fits really well with what she has been/ will be doing at school.
Definitely recommend.

Thanks for a great course with our 10 year old son. It was his first online coding course and he loved it. The teacher kept him engaged and we were so impressed with our son's focus and astounded by what he managed to build within the week. It did exactly what it says on the tin and more, he is now super confident about building Roblox games and is continuing to build them. The structure was just right and the breaks well timed and the teacher was super patient with them all. Really recommend it and we look forward to completing more courses with Funtech.

My son really enjoyed it

I had to think carefully about this course as it isn't cheap...but my son genuinely enjoyed all of it and is a lot more confident with computing terminology and handling software generally. He had fun and learnt a lot and was enthused at the end of each day about what he'd been doing that day.

My Daughter enjoyed the virtual camps in Python and 3D Game Design which were convient and offered a safe space to start her learning journey. Tutors were attentive and gave her additional time, it is so important that girls can have future careers in tech and it starts without having their confidence knocked by those who have had more opportunities to test out their skills. My Daughter is keen to come back and learn more...so I am delighted that her first toe dip has been a successs and she would love a Minecraft design course aimed at secondary school age, if it is possible. Thank you Funtech team for making this learning accessible to all.
