Toby really enjoyed the two week Roblox course and I think it worked well that it was for the few hours on the mornings. He focused really well and I think the tutor was excellent. We also really appreciated that he took the time to give Toby some one to one help before a session after Toby had got behind on the previous day.
The only comment we have is that Toby would have enjoyed more class input as most of the other students had their cameras and microphones off the majority of the time so it was quite an isolated learning experience. He did another virtual course this summer where all the group interacted and did projects in groups together online. You've already addressed this with us however and I totally understand that you cannot require students to turn on cameras and microphones if they are uncomfortable doing so.

Artur said it was a very useful camp for him and it was a lot of fun. I noticed that at the end of the day he was quite tired but overall it was, hopefully, a quite useful experience for him - he is starting preparation for his IT GCSE exam from this September.

My 12 year old son has been learning to code online for a few years now and wanted to go a step further by learning from experts who could fill in the gaps in his knowledge and teach him to apply what he has learnt to real life projects.

Funtech met that need and then some!

I was especially impressed by the communication with parents, the attention they gave to the feedback from the students and the dedication of the tutors.
In my case I got 2 phone calls; one to discuss my son's feedback and another to arrange some extra time to help with his noughts and crosses project, which he really wanted to complete.

Thank you Funtech - we'll be back!

Roblox summer camp

I am really happy and would recommend it to all.

A very good interactive Virtual learning for my son. Support was available from day 1 which makes the learning run smoothly. My son enjoyed the 2 weeks session where he always look forward to every morning. This proves he loved how the camp is organised and does not bore him. :) plus point on that.
Overall, it was a good decision to enroll our son and have found FunTech to develop the learning of codings for kids. Good job on making it professional and fun way in teaching kids in that age group and keeping them focus and attentive throughout the lesson. And also managing their time keeping.

Well done and will definitely look forward to enroll him for future sessions.

Thank you :)

Noah was excited all along. Problems were dealt with promptly. Flexibility was appreciated when Noah couldn’t attend the full class.

Overall great.

Thank you!

Python coder course

My son thoroughly enjoyed this course and felt the level of teaching was good and well levelled for his age group (11-12). The breaks were well timed and he learnt a lot. He has asked to do a term time course as he enjoyed it so much.

Another successful summer camp

In view of the current restrictions around the pandemic our son's Funtech camp was cancelled and a virtual camp offered instead. Initially we were unsure this format would work for him, especially after 4 months of remote learning at school, but he absolutely loved it. He was keen to start every day and diligently followed the instructor. He was even offered extra time when he briefly fell behind. We thoroughly recommend Funtech for kids of all abilities!

Very useful

Got my 12 year old daughter enrolled in a 2 week "online camp" for Java coding, after much of deliberation.
Pleased to say - she made the most of it and has found it very useful !
Definitely recommend it !!!

Python Coder Virtual Camp

Excellent virtual camp - my 11 year old thoroughly enjoyed attending from home. Congratulations to the Funtech team for creating such an engaging online experience.

Amazing camp - thank you!

I was worried about whether an online concept of a camp would work with my son, who has attention difficulties. Now I know that he can sit and concentrate on something that he loves doing for hours at a time! I thought the whole set up was well handled, the tutor handled the kids really well and they were prepared to modify the course slightly to make sure that my son was not bored as he had already taught himself a lot of the starting content. All in all, I was really impressed. Thank you!

My sons really enjoyed their virtual camp. From listening in sporadically, the tutors were engaging and very helpful in explaining how things work. I particularly appreciated the support system - one of our computers was acting up and the IT team was really excellent at troubleshooting virtually, and even offering some extra tutoring time to make up for lost hours. I'd highly recommend funtech courses!

I was very impressed by the follow-up calls, on a day Dalex had been sick and another he left early, and by the extra time he got to catch up on missed material. Impressive!

Python Coder

My son thoroughly enjoyed the Python Coder virtual camp. Initially he was worried it would not be visually stimulating enough but once he started he loved it. The teacher was very supportive, kind and patient and my son made friends on the camp. Excellent!

Great fun while learning

Our daughter loved the virtual 2 weeks Minecraft Mods Camp! She was excited to learn and create new things every day. Highly professionally organised.

Virtual Camp - Minecraft Engineering

My son really enjoyed the camp, however since he did Minecraft Mods and Engineering, it would have been nice if he got some direction as to how he can utilise what he learned and apply the knowledge into some projects.

Funny days

My son enjoyed a lot during the classes, he was stuck to the computer while classes took place.
He didn't rest during breaks he was literally glued to the screen. He learned a lot and he discovered an unknown world of Roblox.

Minecraft and Roblox camps respectively

My son participated in both of these virtual camps and had a wonderful time. Instructors were great and he learned so much.

Well run, engaging

Hi
Shreya seems to have enjoyed the camp very much. Although an intensive course, she seems to have enjoyed it, and has learnt some new skills.

Just some feedback-
She has done the course unsupervised by an adult and was prompted to log in at the start of the day. Hence, I haven't really been around to directly witness how she fared and and much of the time she has actually engaged in the course. Not sure if it is possible to give individual feedback, but in her case, it would have been useful to find out how she had been performing/ engaging during the course of the week. Nevertheless, every evening, when asked how her day had been, she always replied 'It was great!"

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.

My 11yr old son really enjoyed the Python Coder course. This course was recommended as he had already worked out Minecraft Redstone engineering himself. Before the course he was intrigued but concerned everyone else would know more than him. I explained this to Funtech and they were very approachable and offered a 10 min taster session so he could see how it worked and maybe talk about Minecraft - which he didn't want to do but was happy about the course. There were only 3 on the course.

A few weeks later, my son did the Python Game Developer course. There were 8 on the course, and straight away, my son felt out of his depth and was lost. I think he was too shy to ask for help, When I explained this to Funtech mid course, they offered 1-2-1 consolidation course in the afternoon, but my son was too lost by then and not interested. Funtech kindly offered Java Coder instead, which my son started, felt a lot better about, still needed a consolidation afternoon and chose not to continue the course.

To conclude, I think the course and opportunity is great. Funtech really did everything they could to make sure my son felt some level of success, growing on from his experience of the Python Coder course. It may be some children are overwhelmed or don't feel they can ask for help, and so it was a shame that I wasn't aware of the potential consolidation lessons until it was too late on the Python Game Developer course, especially as another boy had one, a boy who attended the same Python Coder course as my son. In my son's case, I know he would feel shame if he showed he had fallen behind and so was not equipped confidence-wise to ask for help in front of others. Funtech did tell me that not everyone likes the style/format of teaching, hence their offer of the consolidation lessons which really goes a very long way to hopefully provide an element of success int heir learning.

Both of my sons undertook the Minecraft with mods course, over a 2 week period in the summer holidays. The course was 'virtual' as it took place during partial lockdown, and we were a little apprehensive going into it, as though both love Minecraft, home-schooling had not been easy, and there was a real risk that the course would not grip them.

They both really loved it, and immediately built a rapport with the online tutor, who was really approachable and engaged really well. After 6 days (of 10) my youngest (7) fell out of the course, as he was struggling to maintain his energy levels, but this, in itself, was not too disappointing. He has ASD and for him to engage with a tutor online for 6 days, for 3.5 hours a day, was a real step forward. My only comment would be that shorter courses (perhaps 5 days) would be more appropriate for children who find it hard to engage online.

My oldest (9), of course, loved every minute and stayed to the end. He'd def. do something similar again.

And both boys are using the skills that they learned to adapt their own Minecraft worlds.

All in all, a great experience.

My daughter was super excited about this course and was not disappointed. She attended in 2020, after weeks of lockdown, and so the structure and the opportunity to do something new was fantastic. The content was engaging and she learned lots. Funtech were very attentive, and if anything too attentive as any constructive comments left by my daughter in daily feedback forms would result in phone call to mum! She has learned skills to keep occupied for a long time to come. Would recommend.

The course moved at a good pace with pre-recorded short lessons supported by on line technical leaders and plenty of time to try out new skills and techniques.
Funtech accept Childcare Vouchers and even virtually, they look after your child and keep them immersed and learning - great use of funds!

Aurora is quite vocal and more into princesses usually - although her twin is into geeky stuff; I wasnt sure how this would work out with both of them doing it. They mainly play Roblox, but were too young for that course, so we enrolled them in Minecraft coding lessons and they were soon creating new worlds and spawning new life forms together. They were a little behind the older boys who knew the game and we were separated off with a dedicated teacher to help at the right level, which was fantastic.
There were a few blips at the tart when we had to sort a virtual machine as one of our computers wasn't high enough spec, but everyone was so patient and tech support was superb.
I think Funtech really sparked an interest in the maths behind the games too - the girls are keen to do more next year and as they were able to take Childcare Vouchers as payment we'll be back next holidays for more, hopefully IRL, but virtual was made to work almost as well.

Amazing camp!

My boy is seven years old and although he is obsessed with Minecraft we have not been allowing him to play regularly because we worry about game addiction. We thought learning how to mod would be a good way for him to do something he really wants to do while being a creator rather than just a consumer.

Oliver was an amazing teacher and our boy learned so much every day. He developed a lot of familiarity with the PC, using the keyboard and mouse, running programs, and finding his way around a developer environment. Every day I have came home from work and he was eager to show off his latest inventions. He retained a lot of his knowledge and was able to independently create things at a later date.

Overall, I give this camp my highest recommendation!

How to have a happy teen!

If you have a computer made kid, this is exactly what you need. He’s got himself up and ready to go every morning with no pressure from us, and he’s really enjoyed everything he’s learnt. I don’t understand any of it but since my son is happy and enjoying his time, what more could I want?
