Hi,

Owen loved minecraft with mods, and looked forward to it every day. He feels very empowered to create new things, and really understands how different aspects work. I was playing with him today thinking of how we could build the old 1980's game Asteroids, and he had some good ideas. Thanks for the great camp experience for him.

If there was any constructive feedback it's that there was one day where there was quite a bit of focus on maths which he found tedious, specifically, he didn't feel he learned anything new. Still, we reassured him, it was probably just a day, and the next day he was right back into it.

My daughter enjoyed this course and her time with Funtech! She was always eager and enthusiastic to engage with his instructors and to share all that she was learning with us. I appreciate the dedication of the staff and management of ensuring the best experience for our daughter. The small groups and one on one interaction with the instructor was awesome providing the best learning experience! I recommend Funtech without any hesitations. They are amazing! Thank you for helping my child prepare for the future!

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!

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.

Well run, engaging

Our 9 year old was fascinated to be led into the world of minecraft, but not as he knew it.

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.

Great way to spark an interest in coding - even for the princessy girls!

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!

a dazzling camp

I really liked making backpacks and new blocks.
Oliver made coding fun and interesting and easy to learn.

My son loved the virtual camp, he was so excited on the first day he woke at 3am! His enthusiasm continued for the whole camp (2 wks of half days). Thankfully he didn't wake early each day! The learning was well managed and from my point of view worked well over the video calls.
It was very interactive and the group discussions appeared active. The content from modding blocks to equipment and fully automated farming had him engaged .
Very good

We have been wanting our son to do a camp with FunTech for a long time but unfortunately they didn't have a location in our area. The virtual camp offering has really opened up the courses for everyone. Adam, our son, absolutely loved it and couldn't wait to join the course each day, the tutor was brilliant and Adam was enthusiastically showing me what he had done each day. One day he hadn't quite grasped the concept fully and FunTech proactively gave me a call offering a 1-2-1 session to ensure he wasn't missing out in any way, it really is a first class operation. We have already booked another camp and are looking at term time as well, we are excited to see where this goes.

My son has loved his coding camp. He’s been engaged and interested for the full duration. His only disappointment was that the virtual machine kicked him out 15 minutes after the class finished meaning he didn’t have time to share with us the things he had created.

FunTech Response
Oh goodness, I am sorry. Had we known we would have gladly left his Virtual Machine on for longer.
We’ll be in touch tomorrow to let you have access to the VM for the weekend so your son can share his achievements with you.

from Max

Parent - Thank you Terry for your patience and great explanations for Max, who we know can be challenging due to his impulsive behaviour as a result of his ADHD. He absolutely loved the course and although he got frustrated at times, it seems like he learnt a lot. It would be great to have your feedback as to how you felt he got on, or his ability dealing with Minecraft (note, he only really ever used an iPad to date and not a laptop before this course). Plus it would be great to have your thoughts on the other Funtech courses you feel he may be able to do.
ps Max says he "hopes to see you again on other funtech course"

My daughter loved the experience. She learnt a lot and is now enjoying creating mods with minecraft. The response from the team was timely and very professional. Joining the course from Nairobi, Kenya, we were not sure how accessible this would be, but it was easy! The teachers were very patient with the kids and even allowed for extra lessons when needed! We couldn't ask for more! I will definitely consider enrolling the kids at funtech again.
