MY 14 year old son said this was "good" and when I asked if he had learnt anything he said "yes". He didn't complain about getting up in the morning to do the course and it kept him fully occupied and so taking all this into consideration I am happy. He did honestly seem to enjoy it. My husband didn't seem to encounter any problems setting the course up and working through the checklist and as with a previous course FunTech ensured we had worked through the checklist before the start date to save time.

Tibi enjoyed the virtual course. He feels that he added to his knowledge and skills on coding.

My 12 and 9 year old respectively attended a x2 week course, of half days, respectively learning python and scratch. They both already had a basic grounds in scratch, but the eldest had never tried python before.

They both absolutely loved the courses and were enthused to carry on beyond the lesson times. The tutors were fantastic, explaining key concepts and the fundamentals of development at a pace that kept the kids engaged. The example applications were simple, yet instructional and entertaining.

Overall the kids loved it. Half days worked really well and they absolutely want to continue, on future courses.

I found the Funtech website easy to navigate and the instructions on pre-reqs and installation clear. Tutors were awesome (thanks esp go to them); patient and knowledgeable, friendly and both my kids really enjoyed the help, support and guidance.

Would definitely recommend and will definitely be signing the kids up for future virtual and f2f courses.

What a great course. It took me a while to sign my 11 year old up for this course, as I wasn't sure if he would enjoy it or would keep the interest all week. So pleased I did - he loved it!! He would show off his progress in the regular breaks and the teaching was engaging the whole time. I would thoroughly recommend. If you're thinking about signing up your child - do it - they'll love it.

Python Week

In 5 days, I managed to go from not knowing anything about python to being able to do if statements, for loops, while loops and so much more. The lessons are quite fun while remaining informative so it keeps me from becoming too bored or too confused. They explain how the computer handles the code you write such as how it reads your code linearly. This helps new students learn more about the computer and how it works, thus making them understand better.
The FunTech Team is extremely supportive and encourages us to explain what is the problem with our code so that we can understand our mistakes and fixing it. They are also extremely nice towards me and my other "class" mates so I don't feel scared to talk to them. Overall, Very good lessons!

Two weeks of Scratch

Our son Arthur has just completed two weeks of Scratch, he was just on the wrong side of the age recommendations for the course but as his brother was doing a course and he didn't want to miss out we approached FunTech to see if it was possible.

Our son Arthur has just completed two weeks of Scratch, he was just on the wrong side of the age recommendations for the course but as his brother was doing a course and he didn't want to miss out we approached FunTech to see if it was possible. As with any request we've had with them they were very supportive and confident that one way or another he would be able to do the course.

When it came down to the course he did struggle a bit to start with, not with the content but with his confidence in asking for help which he struggled with as he can be quite shy. FunTech picked up on this immediately and were in constant contact to ensure Arthur didn't get overwhelmed. At the start of the second week he had a second wobble and after discussions they switch Arthur over to 1-2-1 sessions, after this boy did he fly. Both the tutors he had were fantastic, very knowledgable and patient with all of the kids, stepping in when help was needed, guiding when a few social rules weren't being adhered to.

The fact these courses are delivered virtually is a sign of the current times, however I think even if it wasn't the 'new normal' we wouldn't hesitate to do a virtual course if it was continued to be offered. Two weeks of mornings is just about the perfect amount of time. I think in just about every way FunTech have nailed it. Thank You!

This is the second course out son Adam has taken and he once again had an amazing time! Each day he would proudly show off what he had built, and although I am no expert on Roblox, I couldn't tell the difference between what he had made and what he plays on day to day made by professionals on this platform. I was blown away with what he could now make in the engine. The nicest thing was that his goal now is to take what he has learnt and teach his friends.

Once again FunTech continue to set the bar extremely high with their quality of both course and delivery, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.

Minecraft Mob 2 weeks virtual camp

After almost 6 months out of a formal classroom setting, this 2 week Roblox game design course was a perfect reintroduction to structured learning for my son. The half day timetable with frequent breaks worked perfectly, so he could use his morning energy to engage in learning something fun, with the afternoons to relax. I really hope Funtech will be able to continue to offer 1-2 week virtual camps with half days.
Many thanks to Ivan and the team for providing such a positive learning experience, which I think will really help my son transition back to school after lockdown.

When I booked it, I thought the course seemed expensive but I do think it was well worth the money. My son was so engaged in designing and making his game and he’s learned a lot about the game designing process.
The children in my son’s group were moving at different rates which left my son with a couple of periods where he was waiting for guidance. Funtech recognised this and involved another tutor so that the kids could all continue to make progress.
The course content was great and the technology worked really well.
I’d highly recommend this course.

Interesting material and inspired pupils

I was very impressed with what I saw of the course. A tremendous amount was covered in five days, and it was definitely interesting enough to keep the pupils engaged and enthusiastic for the whole period. The admin and technical support was also superb.

Very good course

While Eloy was a bit bored the first 2 days, mainly because he already knew the basics, I mentioned it and the tutor gave him some extra tasks so he then started to enjoy it more and on the last week he loved it so much that he closed the door so we didn’t disturb him while he was thinking.

It was an enjoyable course for people that is new to program.

I had loads of fun learning programming and you get to make your own program at the end of the lessons.

Holiday Python course

The course has been very fruitful, with an underlying understanding of the basic principles behind the various functions in python due to having already studied Java, I have quite easily learnt many different subjects, e.g. today we learnt Bubble Sort, Searching and the Turtle.

a long, long coding journey.

on my journey through coding (5 days) i learned the basics of python and made gears in the visual coder.
it was a interesting , and thought provoking journey.

Great course

Overall Amazing

Really fun, Always learning and having fun; The instructor was really nice and helpful.

Great!

A very fun and interesting course! Definitely would recommend!

Puts the bad in tech. There is no BAD!

FunTech does make coding more fun and more easy to do! They explain what to do very clearly and step by step. They know what you have learnt and don't bother explaining it again because it would waste time. It is good and I will definitely recommend it.

Absoloutely Awesome!!!!!!!

100% AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I loved it! Long story short, it was brilliant!

funtech!!!!

It was really cool and we could create any games we want and i created an escape room game! the tutor was really nice and helped me! i loved it will definitly come back!

Minecraft Mods course

I enjoyed making armour, tools and building.

Minecraft Redstone camp by Oscar

I ABSOLUTLEY LOVED IT! We started off simple with redstone torches, and spelling out our name with redstone. Then we moved on to redstone torch extenders and logic gates. Then we did sticky pistons, minecart tracks, working elevators, flying machines... right now im making a working train station! (

I ABSOLUTLEY LOVED IT! We started off simple with redstone torches, and spelling out our name with redstone. Then we moved on to redstone torch extenders and logic gates. Then we did sticky pistons, minecart tracks, working elevators, flying machines... right now im making a working train station! (You can steer the train) and the screen breaks are well spaced out. I would reccommend doing this course, to everyone reading this review. Good luck, and happy engineering! -Oscar, age 10

It is a nice way to educate a child for I know many people agree with me but especially the teacher is good because of his patients. I think it was better than my scratch club.
