3D Game Design

My 10-year old son attended this course each morning of half-term. He was a little apprehensive to begin with but the instructor (Sam) was very friendly and able and put him at ease. My son said that the lessons flew just like when he's actually gaming!

My son did the 3D Game Design course (remote). He really enjoyed it. Remote teaching seemed to work best for him but he would consider face to face in the future as he had a great time doing the course.

The number of pupils seemed to work well and the tech held up nicely (no real issues throughout the course).

Very much recommended and we'll use Funtech again in the future.

Really fun camp, recommend to anyone interested in designing 3D games :)

The camp was so entertaining for my daughter and she really liked it. She made some really cool games and showed them to me and I played them. It was a lovely camp and I feel like she learned a lot.

Excellent Half-Term Online Course

My son really enjoyed his half-term course with Funtech. The lessons were engaging and the instructor was wonderful. Erik is thrilled with the new skills he has developed and is really proud of the new game that he designed during the course.

Once again an excellent course

My son thoroughly enjoyed it and learned so much! Thank you to the whole FunTech team who make virtual camps possible, enjoyable, educational and fun!

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.

3D Game course

My son enjoyed your virtual holiday camp.
He loves learning to use software, and he understands it in great detail thanks to the great tutors that Funtech always hire.

Phoebe's Camp!

Phoebe absolutely loved the camp...
From a parent's perspective it was very well run, and the teachers were engaged with the kids and responsible.
Thank you!

My son thoroughly enjoyed the course and was very happy with the balance between tutor's demonstration of concepts, having a go at developing and playing the games. He was well supported when he got stuck and very excited about knowing the unreal engine concepts and being able to design various levels of a given game tutorial. We will definitely be back for the advance stage and my son will surely sing of his epic adventure with funtech..

My son took part in the 3D Game design virtual week course. He thoroughly enjoyed it, and was engaged throughout and has developed new skills and confidence while completing the course. The course has ignited his imagination and boosted his enthusiasm for game design. The tutor was very supportive, knowledgeable and competent and inspirational. On the final day doing their individual projects it would have been nice for the students to have enough time to show each other their game design to see how others had used the course to develop their own game ideas. Overall, the course was a huge success and I would definitely recommend it to those interested in game design.

My son really enjoyed the 2 week (half day) virtual course on 3D gamning with Unreal engine. Funtech asked for a bit of pre-course prep from me as a parent (checking Broadband speed and computer spec - it was all reasonable to ask and fairly straightforward) and took 2x20mins.

We used childcare vouchers to pay (you need to pay upfront by card but then we got the money back quickly from Funtech once the childcare scheme had sent their payment). Without this option I do not think we would have booked the course.

Overall I was impressed with how my son remained engaged over the whole two weeks and he seems to have retained a real interest in the subject and learned other transferable skills. The person running the course seems to have struck a good balance between moments where they are all chatting and others when they are progressing the specific course elements.

Overall very good and certainly a good review from my son.

Very good camp

My son Felix enjoyed the camp. It was a little too much information in one day for an 11 years old boy but I think he learned a lot and next year we have to book the 2 week camp so he can better focus every day. It was very professionally organized.

Thank you!

3D Game Design - Developer

I cannot speak highly enough about FunTech. What an absolutely awesome company that helps children and teens with coding and tech.

They have a range of courses (although you have to book early) that I wish I had when I was younger. But my ten year old daughter joined for a two week's session on 3D Game Designing using Unreal Engine over the summer and she loved it.

She has been learning python coding since she was six so it was nice for her to do something different. And even though she had a wobble in the middle of the course, the company was absolutely fantastic and supported her with some one to one private lessons to get her to the end.

My daughter wrote: "To Connor. Thank you for giving me 1 to 1s to help me understand Unreal Engine. I really appreciate it. I am really happy with the end result of my game and I am hoping to add many more levels and upgrade my current ones to make my game way more interesting."

@Sheineez Barber I applaud you for setting up such an awesome company and excellent customer service.

As a result, I have shared with many friends and I will book Georgie onto her next course soon and every year from here on. 10 out of 10...

I couldn't recommend this company highly enough.

This is our third virtual camp, and there will be a fourth.
It is well priced , well organised and well run. Our 11 year old son loves it and it is an educational break from other activity holiday camps.
If I had one criticism it would be that sometimes the responses to technical queries can take a few days, but this has so far not causes any problems.

The boys thoroughly enjoyed the two weeks of game design. So that’s the main thing! Having done the python coding course last holiday, I was expecting slightly more coding to this course (I believe essentially there was none). I think I had hoped that this would have been a great way to engage the boys in coding, as it would be based on gaming. We will definitely come back for more though, so if you have any bright ideas for the perfect fit, let me know!

It was also super-convenient for us that he was able to do the camp from home.
Please keep providing these great opportunities, as it especially benefits kids who are not into sports or those who, for other reasons, may not be able to access other types of summer camps.

Virtual Camp for 13 Year Old

My son really enjoyed his Virtual Camp, learning 3D game design using Unreal Engine. The tutor was really patient, helpful and supportive. I was really impressed with the quality of the games he produce by the end of the course. He is now teaching his younger brother to use the software!

3D Game Design

My son thoroughly enjoyed this course! The course tutor really made the course interesting and was able to help understand the material. My son was eager to show us what he had learned and coded. Really cool to see the excitement! Thank you FunTech!

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.

3D Game Design

My 11 year old son loved this and was very excited about his design. The tutor, Connor, was very friendly and informative. He also was great at helping us set up the Virtual Window at the start of the first session. Overall highly recommended!

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!

3D Game Design

Very useful and enjoyable course

3D gaming fun!

My son has never undertaken a holiday course like this before and absolutely loved it. The small group meant he had just the right balance of contact and interaction with others but allowed him to get on and work independently too.
He was excited to get stuck in and took great pride in showing us the start of his own 3D game at the end of the week.
The FunTech team were brilliant with any questions and concerns we had, and kept him engaged all week.
I can highly recommend the course to anyone. At 13 he is hard to please, but you guys managed it! Thanks

My son really enjoyed being able to do the course from home although as a parent I would have liked him to have got to know the other students on the course, I would imagine they are like-minded people with similar interests.

My son says that he enjoyed experimenting with the props the best and enjoyed the whole experience of the doing the course online. He especially liked the fact that he could work in the mornings and have the afternoon off.

The course was expensive but I didn't mind, especially as I could use childcare vouchers. It felt like money well spent.

It would have been great if this course was the start of some kind of qualification in 3D gaming design as I can see my son doing the next level of this course next Summer or on the next holiday. It would be great if he could eventually gain a qualification from doing a series of courses over a number of holidays or years (similar to ballet where the RAD grades are equivalent to GCSE grades which go higher the more grades you do (grade 1 being equivalent to a D or E at GCSE) - young people can then use these qualifications on their CV when applying for their first jobs).

3D game design camp

My 13 year old son had a great time on the course, he liked the tutors and said they were very helpful and fun to learn from. The content of the course was good and my son came away with a racing game he developed and which he continues to play with and amend.

Learning to write python

Our son found the virtual camp excellent. He was amazed by the tutor and the content of the learning. A good head start for his future in a fun way!

All of them have kept him fully occupied and he has enjoyed them and learnt from them.

Really fun course undertaken virtually.

Wonderful experience

Our 11 year old son had a wonderful time at his 3D Game Design virtual camp this summer. The first day was a bit challenging but thanks to the fantastic support he received from his tutor and the staff he ended up having an amazing time. Thank you so much!

Loved it

Mihai loved the makers approach and atmosphere and it was the only thing he was really proud of this summer. We want to do the next one. Which one is it?

Fabulous!

A fab experience beginning to end. Every little attention to detaIl & the few issues that we had were solved quickly and painlessly. My son loved the 3D gaming course and would definitely do another funtech course.

Great experience

My son was a very reluctant participant at first, very nervous about being in a virtual classroom. However he thoroughly enjoyed the experience and learnt so much. He has even asked if there is an advanced level course he can attend to continue his learning.

3D Game Design

He really enjoyed the course, and thought the teacher was 'brilliant'. He has enough knowledge now to carry on learning on his own, but is looking forward to being able to take another course in the future if there's one that builds on this one.

3d game maker - Clearly enjoyed by my 11 year old
