but in brakes you can’t play minnnecrafft!!!!!!!!!! i love minecraft this camp was great!.

This camp was very informative and intriguing! I learnt loads of stuff about java coding and I wrote multiple "Choose your own adventure" games. The camp was challenging but fun at the same time and the tutors were always there to help you. The only reason I haven't given it 5 stars was because we had to wait for the tutors to come to our computer and sometimes it took a long time. Also, in further camps, PLEASE INCLUDE WATER IN THE LUNCHES!!! :D :D ;D
10/10 would recommend

FunTech Response
We included Juice with lunch as there are several water fountains. Next year we’ll update to a choice of juice or water.

Overall, FunTech is a great camp that I would definitely recommend.

I loved this camp! It was very interesting and challenging, we had a very good and fun teacher! The programming was very good and breaks were good. We did fun things at break and in the lessons we did several exercises and had discussions about the topic we were on. The teacher gave constructive criticism and helped us with our work without doing it for us.
Would recommend it to anyone who likes programming, maths or computers!
Had a great time here!
Thanks!

nice ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

a++, 10/10 would java again
it was really informative and it was a small class, therefore good for focusing.
(the tutorials were videos. the guy in the video had a voice that made my face itch but otherwisev¯\_(ツ)_/¯ )

I learned about java and had some fun

I learned how to program simple java apps. I needed help with some things, but I managed just fine on all the other things. I even made some friends!

good

Very good i have been teaching myself python for a while now and now with this java course i have pretty much surpassed my python experience. It was great fun and the teacher support was amazing!

Amasing

I loved this course. it was really fun.

amazing

I learned a lot of coding during this camp, and my parents are very proud. The tutors were very friendly and helpful, and also very funny. They are EQUALLY good at their jobs.

It is the most fun I've had while learning

Goodish

It's good but occasionally the coding for, like, 10 hours gets boring. But it's not entirely worth, like, £550. James is good at maths (not). 3 and a half stars. FunTech RESPONSE: Sorry you didn't enjoy coding. Each day is 8 hours long you have two 15 minute breaks and 90 minutes for lunch,...

It's good but occasionally the coding for, like, 10 hours gets boring. But it's not entirely worth, like, £550. James is good at maths (not). 3 and a half stars.

FunTech RESPONSE:
Sorry you didn't enjoy coding. Each day is 8 hours long you have two 15 minute breaks and 90 minutes for lunch, so only coding for 6 hours per day... though we can appreciate that if you did not enjoy it it felt like 10 hours!

I learn't all the basics with help on standby if I needed it. I learn't to code things that would have taken months of lessons in school because the course was devoted to one thing. At lunch and break we went outside and everyone joined in playing games to make sure we didn't hurt our eyes and don't stare at the screen too much.
My only problem with the course was that it became a little repetitive.

coding level 1 fun

The tutors were very good and they taught me loads and were very funny. Every day I learnt loads of interesting java programs and my favourite tutor is James(defiantly not Will).

JAMES IS BETTER THEN WILL 10/10 IGN!!!!!

I had rly good fun this week learning all da basics of coding. james is a better coder then will 10/10 IGN . James is the god at coding he should get a promotion and should be in charge of will. Also will needs to play pokemon go he is missing out in a big part of life.

Funtech Review (Will Is best)

It's a fun experience, and a "Cool" place for any seeking coder, or just to have fun. But coding for 10 hours Is quite boring, and the breaks could be abit longer, because most people lose concentration (Me defiantly). To be honest James is the best coder, sorry Will :D

Amazing

Absolutely incredible, I learnt so much in just five days thanks to the two tutors James and Will. Although this was only the basics, I couldn't believe what I could do.
Now, the following things may seem simple to make, but these were actually quite hard!
1. Make a calculator.
2. A dice roller.
3. User input programs, where the user can alter what happens.
4. For loops, where we enter a specific amount of times for one or multiple lines of code to repeat - we managed to make the console print different sized hollow and regular squares using this.
5. While loops, where you can make one or multiple commands repeat themselves infinitely with user input where it asks a question then repeats the command until you tell it not to do so.
6. We managed to do random number generation, where the code picks a random number depending on your minimum and maximum number.
7. We did variables, where you store a line of code into one word - this can be used for things like:
What is your name?
Archie
Okay, Archie, hit the dartboard!
You win, Archie!

The course was great, I learnt a lot and I recommend this course.

This two weeks residential camp was the first experience out of Spain for our son Andres (14) and it was also the very first time he used English out of a classroom. He loves technology and was really excited about the trip and the courses (coding levels 1 and 2) but he was also a bit worried about being a foreigner in an class full of locals. However, his worries vanished in a few hours: he had a really great time in Tonbridge, making new friends easily (twice!), realizing that he can really use English for life, and also confirming that technology is great. Learning Java for 6 hours every day was really fun for him, he learnt a lot and he has been programming at home since he came back. The relationship with the tutors and the rest of the staff was also great, and the continuous activities out of the classroom were really exciting (his brothers are now quite jealous!).

The support we as parents received was excellent, including the delicate moments at the beginning. Sheineez and Phil were very nice and responsive, and made us feel really confident. They even organized a birthday celebration for Andres.

In summary, a perfect experience for Andres and an excellent way of combining tech, social and language learning in a shot. Absolutely recommendable.

100% recomended

this is the best places to be if you are looking for a good summer to learn to code.

Great Experience

Was great, learnt quite a lot and gave a jump start on Java, a bit complicated and frustrating at times but definitely worth it if you want to start coding.

it was ok

it was ok.

The Bomb Digidy (Interesting)

It was really intresting I think that they should let, the children do what they want during freetime that is cordinal. BUT in all it was a really exciting experience .our Tutor was gr8

I think this is a brilliant camp and a great experience ( I went to the Maidenhead Branch ). The teachers were exemplary and very good at teaching; they were patient and help you whenever you needed it, they also gave you helpful tip to make coding easier. They were funny and most of the teachers were quite young so they understood us better and were able to tell what we were consistently struggling and we learn so much we learnt more than we needed to which help us to make better programmes. Mine has turned out great and I hope to come back again. They took us out to the park to have lunch and after the children who wanted to play football were allowed to and the teachers joined in which was nice even though some weren't that good but it was nice to see that they wanted to make us happy and share our enjoyment with them.
they also gave us regular breaks so that we weren't at the screen all day so it didn't hurt our eyes and neither did we have headaches.
I only found one problem and that we had to ask them to explain it again and because coding for beginners is a bit daunting and complex. So I think the should automatically explain it a second time. That was the only problem other wise I fully enjoyed my-self.
I think it was great and you show go. I definitely want to return. Thankyou FunTech!

it was very good. the tutor was fun, educational and entertaining. i have learnt a new coding program using eclipse. i found the lobby was too small for all of the children. i liked how we had lunch outside. so we had a break from the screen. The tutor ( sandeep ) was really nice and the rest of them helped a lot and were friendly. All of funtechs equipment was up to date so it was easy to use as we were familiar with it. Although the lobby was small all of the classrooms were a good size. Going here was definitely not a waste of time.

i was struggling in school from learning python 3.0 and learning a much better language called c# at funtech, this language can be used to make games in unity 5. but i was learning them both so i had to stop c# due python being used for my computing gcse. so i decided to do the coding level 1 to catch up.

while i am 15 and the majority of my fellow class mates are quite alot younger, what i have learned is actually pretty impressive. my teacher (sandeep) was extremly help and all round brillant.

while the first camp that i had done was "rig and render" now known as 3D modelling and animation was in my eyes more enjoyable due to me being more 3D modelling than coding. i would still highly recommend both.

funtech is known for having outstanding, easy to understand and complex skills that are taught, and im happy to say that that is the case once again.

Great way to learn to code

Great way to learn code. Definitely recommend it to anyone who is interested in coding.

A Great experience

I really enjoyed my time at funtech and it gave me a great head start for my GSCEs

Great way to spend the holidays

I did this camp for a week in the holidays. It was great! Really interesting and very fun. Enjoyable and a skill that will stick with you for life. Personally I highly recommend this camp. I will be returning!

Amazing summer camp...

The camp has been informative and fun in equal measures. I really recommend it.

It has taught me so much in just 1 week!!!!

I attended the Coding Level 1 summer camp in Maidenhead. They have taught me basic knowledge in coding, which I will hope to use in future.

I wish I could do another course, but I would definitely recommend this to family and friends wishing to explore the world of coding!

Best Summer camp ever....

This camp has been absolutely brilliant. The teachers are very welcoming and explain things in a way that anyone could understand. It is a fun camp which is not just for the privileged few that already know coding but for everybody who wants to learn.

GREAT CAMP

Extremely fun and informative.

I enjoyed FunTech as I made loads of friends, and I enjoyed the course I worked on. The activities were really cool, like Zorbing, and the inflatable Gladiator Arena, especially the Last Man Standing.

I want to come again, as I loved it.
