Thank you so so much for teaching me so much about coding. i never thought it would be something i'd enjoy, but after going to the level one coding session i found that it was something i actually really enjoyed. the instructors were really helpful and constructive when it came to answering questions and they never went too fast or too slow. Thank you!

Cool week

I didn't find it very challenging to begin with, but then Akash started to let me do some more complex stuff.

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!

Great experience

Great fun, definitely learned a lot.

Great week for begginers

Amazing!

Really good fun, learnt loads, loved it!

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.

I have learned a lot over my week at FunTechand made a lot of progress. Many coding concepts were relatively challenging but were explained well and it takes a long time to fully understand coding. I have had a good week at funtech as my tutor was friendly and my class was good. We covered a range of topics. I enjoyed it and am certainly better at coding java than I was at the start!

FunTech summer camp

FunTech had a good way of learning and the Tutors were very helpful to all of us completing the course. I haven't been on any other tech camps so I cannot compare it but their was definitely no shortage of content in this course. The Tutors were well prepared and knew their stuff!

I would recommend it as the course, was at the not too difficult , the tutor was helpful and it taught what was advertised

Great place

Learned a lot in Java. The tutors were amazing. Had loads of fun.

FunTech taught me some useful skills

FunTech has taught me some very valuable skills in Java coding that I might be able to use in later life while also being fun.

I've looked far and wide for a place that teaches proper Java coding and FunTech I found was the place I was looking for.
I tried a course somewhere else but it didn't help me at all with learning to code and it wasn't that good either. But FunTech took my coding skills to the next level. I really enjoyed this week and made quite a few friends. . It's a lot to learn. Our Instructor was very helpful and very knowledgeable and when the red lines started popping up everywhere he got me back on my feet from chance of my program crashing.

Are instructor doesn't tell us the answer straight away which is good because it gives you the chance to try it a few more times. It definitely gets a lot more harder the further up you go throughout this week. What's amazing with this course is that you've also got Java level 2 and 3 and Drone coder which I look forward to doing in the future.

We use eclipse which is a computer coding environment, it's easy to use and very user friendly it tells you most times what you've done wrong in a way that I can understand with ease.

I would definitely recommend it to people who want to start coding. Java seemed overwhelming at first but with help I managed to nail down quite a few commands on my first day. All my other camps that I've done at FunTech have been amazing. I'm coming here again!

I learnt so many new things and got along with many new people of the same intelligence and maturity as well as getting the new experience of starting my coding journey successfully. It has started a new chapter in my life and made me more open minded and how to handle difficult situations, under pressure and in a new surrounding. It has made me enjoy coding more and allowed me to do my own extensive research in the future in order for me to gain more knowledge in terms of coding.

An amazing experience

I've always wanted to learn how to program, and at FunTech I have learned a lot, the teachers were very helpful, the course is enjoyable and I have made lots of friends. I seriously recommend it. There is a reason why the company is called FUNTECH.

Java

A good experience

Java Coder Level 1

Throughout whole week you are always active, even throughout the classes you are having fun and learning. Both tutors in the class will answer any question you throw at them.

Educational and fun.

Java has been very informative. I have learnt a lot although also had fun with the after coding residential activities e.g. self defence. Overall, a good way to fill time in the summer whilst learning.

Best camp ever

I found the camp really educational and I think it's amazing

It's Great!!!!!!

Great time, great week, great tutors and great friends. loads of fun.

FunTech

It was really fun the tutors were amazing,

I learnt a lot

It was very fun and enjoyable

FunTech

Best course ever! Had tonnes of fun but to much lunch and break time.There should only be 5 mins of break and 30 min of lunch.
