very informative

It was fun and learned so much yet I didn"t find the workload too unbearable. The air con was not very good though.

FunTech Java coding

Great week being introduced to coding using Java with every step clearly explained so I actually understood all the code

It was fun

:)

Funtech Is The Best Place to Start Learning Java

- The tutors in funtech helped me a lot and bits of the code which i did not understand they would help
- They would also Joke with us whilst helping us at the same time
-As well as this they would test us and help us remember the code

It was fun and interesting but could have been slightly more intense.

This was the first holiday camp I have been to so I am unsure of how good Funtech is compared to other camps. I had expected writing a lot of code and gaining a great understanding of it.

This was the first holiday camp I have been to so I am unsure of how good Funtech is compared to other camps.
I had expected writing a lot of code and gaining a great understanding of it. In some ways this was achieved as the camp definitely gave me an interest in Java coding and has made me want to continue progressing my coding skills after the week. I personally think that this made the course worth while but I had been hoping to be focussing more on learning hard code than just enjoying time playing games or doing basic coding. Yes, of course one does need to start with the basics and this was good but I had expected that, for so much money, I would at least have a chance to become a bit more of a pro with Java.
One of the main reasons I say this is because we would finish all of the content planned for that day at about lunchtime or slightly afterward. This meant that we spent quite a lot of time on making games (which was very fun and was good practice) that could have been spent on possibly learning more code and progressing our knowledge.
Overall, price aside, the camp was great. There was a good balance between having fun and learning code despite the fact that I would have liked to learn slightly more.
The staff were all very nice; especially our teacher 'Kevin'.
In conclusion, a big thank you to Funtech. It was a fun week and gave me a good interest and foundation to Java.

At first I did not know what to expect.

At first I did not know what to expect. Since I spent a whole week at the camp I have enjoyed every day of camp since I have learnt more parts of the code language than I would probably have learnt in a few weeks into GCSE. I would extremely recommend this for students going into GCSE to do this course since you will get a head start in CS or Coding. I think the Tutors are interactive and are helpful at all points of the week. Everyone that goes usually has things in common with other coders so the students that go usually make friends their easily.

It was very pleasant!

I had an amazing experience in coding, even though I already coded before!

Very Fun

It was very fun and you learn loads.

IT WAS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was a pleasant experience. I have never coded in Java but I have learnt a lot. The tutors are really nice and helped us learn so much!!!!!!!!!

Intresting,instructive and fun

I really enjoyed this camp as it helped me learn a lot more about java, and made me meet people who shared my interests.

JAVA LAVA CAMP

I LOVED this Java camp it was AMAZING! Bilal is a very good teacher and the courses are excellent! (◕‿◕)

Worth Doing

Some Challenging moments rest was a breeze lots of fun ps i got 1 + 3 wrong

System.out.println("100% worth it!")

Fun Tech was amazing!!!!! A once in a lifetime experience! The teacher, Deeon, was a great, friendly one. The course was tough though at the end off it one would really learn a lot. FunTech can get you from knowing nothing about a topic to mastering it. Overall, FunTech is highly recommended!!!

Amazing

needs more explanation and better videos, next time i might do minecraft redstone

Learned So Much! Absolutely Awesome!

Legendary, but wish it was longer and had more to do!

I didn't find it very challenging to begin with, but then Akash started to let me do some more complex stuff. The breaks were good, but I feel like there could have been more things to do (I brought my own pack of cards just so that I wouldn't get bored) like chess or something. Akash was really chilled and nice, but even though he was chilled, we still finished day 3 at the start of day 2, so I don't really think there was enough content.
Awesome overall!

My Review

Great camp fun to go on and learn new thing would probably go again

Great experience

Great fun, definitely learned a lot.

Great week for begginers

i loved this week, i have never done Java before and funtech was really good at teaching me the basics of Java, I thoroughly enjoyed my week and I would love to come next year to do level 2

Amazing!

Really good fun, learnt loads, loved it!

rEVIEW

I learnt a lot while I was here and the instructors were really helpful and they made the camp easier to understand. I really enjoyed this and found it really interesting and i would come back again.

My life @ FunTech

Fun... I learnt how to program Java. I made cool programs. I made friends with Chris Roos he was fun he had Dr Pepper
I like Him. I had a great time here. I liked Christopher *****...

10 out of 10 would do again!

AAAWWWEEESSSOOOMMMEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is the best camp i have ever been to. The staff are so nice and i loved all of it i would recommend this to anyone!

Loads of fun

I had a really enjoyable, I learnt lots about Java which I didn't know before. The tutors are very friendly and they will always help me when I'm stuck.
Definitely will come back to do the next year.

extremly adequet

FUNTECH RESPONSE
We use video's to ensure all the children get the same high quality explanation of a concept. The tutors are then fully qualified to expand on this if the students require further explanation or help.

Its good

It is really fun and i learnt alot!

Fun and Worth While

I would definitely recommend this course to anyone who is interested in Java or coding in general.
I learnt loads and had a lot of fun. This course was well worth coming for and i'm happy I did.

Brilliant Camp!

It was brilliant because I was ill on the first day so I couldn't go on the first day so the instructors helped me catch up.
I learnt a lot in the course and all the instructors were really friendly.

Java Course

Having never done Java before, this course sets a good pace. I have learnt a lot and now have a fundamental understanding of java. It was really good fun, all the instructors were friendly and I would do it again.

Very fun

I enjoyed this week immensely. I learnt loads and really had fun. It was an amazing week and I want to come back next year.

i like it

it fun, 10/10 would do again.

Beginning is a bit slow, then got better

The first morning was slow but then it got better.

It was fun

The camp was fun and I learnt a lot

System.out.println("My Week began on the seventh of August 2017 at 9:00,


We started off with the very basics of Java coding, and opened up a programming software called Eclipse. Throughout the week we went through a series of different things to learn, ranging from easy to more difficult. We started off with things like \"User Input\" and progressed onto things like \"Arrays\", that were more difficult. I found that when we started a new topic, at first I literally had no idea what was going on, but then two or three topics later I began to understand said topic. I FOUND IT EXTREMELY CHALLENGING!!! . Overall I think the software and quality of the product provided by Funtech was top notch.


I think that my tutor was very good (APART FROM THE JOKES!!!), and stopped the banter and conversations when they went too far. He is also very good and helpful.


We have two 15 minute breaks per day, both either side of the one hour and a half lunch break. All of the total two hours of break between 9am and 5pm were strictly enforced as \"tech free\". I understand that most of my colleagues did not agree with the tech free rules, however I liked it because if you think about it we have around 6 and a half hours of tech and that is unhealthy for the average age of students taking part in Funtech classes. In 15 minute breaks we chatted with each other and ate our packed lunches (remember to pack a lot of food!!!) At lunch, if the weather is satisfactory we go out to the local park and have a kick around with footballs or have organised games of C.T.F (Capture the flag) etc... If the weather appeared to be unsatisfactory, then we would all eat lunch and watch films.


I felt that we still got on with a substantial amount of work; in-fact the only reason that I gave a rating of 4.5 stars was that sometimes I felt that the banter went too far (sometime my fault!!!)


Overall, I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at Funtech, and would thoroughly recommend it to all tech enthusiasts or people that just want to have some leisurely fun and learn some very important things along the way!!!



THANKS NICK!!!, AND ALL THE FUNTECH TEAM!!! ");

I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at FunTech. What made the experience better was the fact that my tutor THE GODLY GODLIKE ST NICHOLAS has great banter so I found him very likeable. BEWARE: THE BANTER BAR MAY REACH TERMINAL VELOCITY!!! 5/5. I found the content easier than most people as I have done coding before, however my tutor gave me extra stuff to do when I finished everything. The course was designed for beginners in coding. I did enjoy the week as I LOVE CODING 5/5. The course was really fun as THE GODLY GODLIKE ST NICHOLAS is very knowledgeable in coding so helped me if I asked challenging questions. 5/5. The breaks were questionable to say the least..... they were tech free which was rather annoying. If we didn't got to the park we watched frozen and minions.
Overall, I have found my time at Funtech to be rewarding and I thoroughly recommend it to all aspiring coders ";

Had a good week at FunTech! The content was great with the right amount of challenge and our Tutor helped to keep us engaged throughout the week and informed us about the world of computing beyond Java. I would definitely rate my Tutor Nick 5* as well as the course material. The class was a good size however, in my opinion I think the course could be condensed into 4 days with shorter breaks and lunches. Also i think a lot more girls should get involved as it was great fun. I really did enjoy the Java Coder 1 course and I left the course fully fulfilled.
