I did provide verbal feedback to one of your colleagues after the course but I'll try and summarise it, seems a long time ago already! Sophocles had been looking forward to the course for months and he enjoyed his time. The first morning was a little frustrating as despite the reminders you had sent, some children arrived without the correct software installed which delayed the start of the session. The pace of the first day was slow as the course caters for a wide age range and ability of children and there were no extension activities to complete, but he didn't make this known to the tutors. This improved on the second day after he had asked for further activities. They spent a long time in the same room, not sure if they went out much at breaktime and lunchtime to make the most of the school's play areas. I'd also have a mobile phone policy where the children hand them in and get them back at the end of the day otherwise they spend their freetime on more screens rather than engaging with each other. I know that all sounds negative, sorry it's not meant to be - overall it was something different for Sophocles, not something he would otherwise have learned about, and he is hoping to go into cyber security as a career so your tutors definitely did lots right (and it was great to see that they weren't all male

Funtech Minecraft

I love ❤️

review

it was fine bit boring at times but ok

summer break end of fun-tech .

The fun-tech lessons as a whole were very interesting and even though some of the lessons were quite difficult i enjoyed them.

Anoushka's review

The overall course was fun.
There were parts that were a bit boring but when learning something there always is.
I enjoyed making the games the most.
Especially the rock,paper scissors and the end of course games.

i am so happy that get to leave funtech

aman

i liked it but sometimes it is a bit hard and annoying

it was GOOD!

on the first day I was not sure but by the last day I LOVED IT

meh

basicaly sitting in front of a computer screen, apart from activities no different from getting an account online at home. average experience. lead supervisor jma was a bit stingy

Funtech Camp - Generally Good

The camp was alright. I disliked the removal of tokens part. The course however was good. In "Fun typer", the website they use, fun typer is interactive, educational and makes you want to improve your speeds and typing. The younger kids struggle with this though. It is a good camp,fun but one improv

Sam and Beatriz were absolutely amazing tutors who made the experience a lot better however the course wasn't for me, the residential was not suitable, the evening activities was underwhelming and it wasn't catered for the older students who wanted to relax at night and not necessarily watch SpongeBob or other kids shows and be kept downstairs until 21:00.

AI- good, but not the best

This course is middling (in my opinion) for a one main reason: the first few days of content were boring. There's no way around, days one and two, and parts of day 3, consisted of copying code of the board and being told things. However, the final two days were excellent, and I had plenty of freedom

This course is middling (in my opinion) for a one main reason: the first few days of content were boring. There's no way around, days one and two, and parts of day 3, consisted of copying code of the board and being told things. However, the final two days were excellent, and I had plenty of freedom to have fun. Despite this, while I learnt a lot of concepts related to AI and neural networks, I didn't learn much specific coding. On the other hand, the tutors were very helpful and approachable (even when my question had little to do with AI as opposed to coding in general), had great taste in music (which they played during boring stretches to create atmosphere), and were happy to slightly adjust the schedule so that I could learn most of the important code despite a dentist appointment, and managed to make a accommodations for my Autism and ADHD that didn't affect other students. Break and Lunchtimes were frequent ut not excessive, and hugely reduced stress- not to mention the fun (but optional) activities (such as dodgeball and capture the flag) during lunchtimes. However, break/lunchtimes were, despite the tutor's best efforts, were still somewhat noisy/stressful. Overall: 8/10 for fun (due to somewhat stressful break/lunchtimes), 5/10 for tech (due to me learning little actual code).

ok

should have more khaoot but good

This course is not quite as fun as i expected

Unfortuatly i felt that this course did not manage my expectations for it and i found that the lunch break was way too long and the breaks in between working times were too frequent.

Ok course

Course was a bit over complicated, and explaining videos didnt really explain anything.
Tutor was good, also someone hacked me.

Meh

Pros: The instructors are really nice and make the breaks fun, with Kahoot and other games.
Cons: the coursework is tedious at times, with the games getting boring after an hour or so. The sessions feel rather long and get tiresome after a few of them. In summary, this course was not my favourite, and could be improved.

Great immersion, pricey

This was our first time at a FunTech residential camp, although my kids have been going to sleep-away camps for years.
Competent, well-trained staff and very nice facility.
For the price I was expecting more: surprised that it wasn’t a full week (5 nights only); no swag (typically a camp will send you home with a t-shirt or water bottle—my son only got a silicone bracelet.
FunTech could have at least included a USB which would have been on-brand instead of have kids bring their own); and the communication wasn’t great—the email published in the brochure was outdated and I called the number and left a message, but no one answered or replied.
Overall it was a good week of coding for my son but operations could be improved, especially given the price tag.

I would do Funtech again next year but I want a teacher that isn't being silly begging me to get the answers wrong.

I loved it but also not

We had to sit in the hot sun and had way too many breaks. Although the staff were really nice.

ok course

the course was pretty fun altogether. what let it down was the reinforcement of some of the skills because i felt like i didn't get enough time to reinforcement some of the skills until near the end of the course.

it was good

the curriculum was very good but the teaching was not that good

Cookie good

I borught a cookie to the hack course and I got the cookie from the srefer computrer hack good:).

Funtech review

the funtec

I liked doing filmora.

I liked doing music and video editing and making my own game..
when I did movie editing I liked it because I felt more creative.
Making a game was good but I liked making music more.
All three subjects were fun but one was also more fun
than the other!

It was fun!!!

I really liked it

My Funtech year

This year I found that the lessons were a bit more dull. Even though they were very beneficial, I also found it quite boring. Next year I hope for the courses to be a bit more fun, but just as much tech!

Great Courses but not very kind to computer illiterate parents as everything is online

My Children have enjoyed the courses at Funtech and although expensive I think they are worth it. Their Computer Support Guy Lucas is amazing and helps download the programmes the children need. My only gripe is all messages are all on the website so you will get a text message on your phone that

My Children have enjoyed the courses at Funtech and although expensive I think they are worth it. Their Computer Support Guy Lucas is amazing and helps download the programmes the children need. My only gripe is all messages are all on the website so you will get a text message on your phone that only tells you to go to the portal to read the message which is just frustrating and then once completed the course they do not print out certificates and post which it would be nice to have a proper certificate on headed paper, and even requested they don't accommodate.

very nice camp

my son enjoyed his week at fun tech in London. Thanks for the support.

Decant.

A bit boring at the end. Honestly I was bored 35-40% of the time. :|

minecraft review

it was fun but to be honest i knew like 9/10 of this stuff. most of this stuff i know and i didnt rally learn much. the funtech people are nice though and i did have a great time - but just no on the learning.

review

I got quite bored because of how long it was each day (8hrs) but they did well to keep me motivated, (by giving us counters and the counters were exchanged for gift cards depending on how many we had).

i wish i was at home

you happy i lost another week of my holiday

ok

it was fun.at some point it was boring but its fun.

Lego Robotics

I found this course very fun and would suggest it to any kids aged 5-10! I learned a lot about how to create and code the Lego robots as well as trying to get out of mazes and more. The game outside was one of the highlights as we played capture the flag, chicken, hero, twin etc.. :)

it was good

i like it couse it was fun and i made frends and i leant how to make roblox games

funtech review

informative but classes were a little too long

lego robotics

it was good but even though we did some building we had to use the techers bild

Good experience

Overall, it’s a good experience as my son has gained in his IT knowledge.

Good but there were a few tech issues

The course is Very good but there were a few issues with my wifi and pycharm across the course. We played games in breaks and we thought there was a demon haunting the internet and causing the issues! Would recommend to everyone.

fun tech end of week

it was good but it was realy long and it wasent that fun for the first halph

roblox designer

I liked playing the racing course and the obby. I made a rainbow world. I liked when we went outside and played with my friends. I learned how to negate, union and separate. I had a harder time than everyone because I was the youngest. bye bye!
