Divya was delighted to have completed the Cyber Hackathon course. Even though it was hard in the beginning for her(she has just completed year 8), the staff happily went over it again and again and she was understood the course and was very happy to do it.
She is considering a career in Cyber Security, so this course has laid a good groundwork in that journey.
As parents, we were happy with the course, location, facilities and friendly and knowledgeable staff.

A great week

My child found the start of the course a bit slow and would have liked some differentiation across the class, but overall they really enjoyed it and felt they had learned from the week. They found the teachers very helpful.

Great learning

Amazing termtime course..focussed on real world skills at the development stage of children's school years..

2020-2021 academic year

Victor enjoyed his time with Funtech in the academic year 2020 - 2021.
He gained a lot from he course, he definitely enjoyed the teaching style of his teacher Calum, and we hope the next academic year will continue to be as good and smooth as the previous year was.

My son has benefitted greatly from his FunTech courses, and his teachers have also recognised this when working on his projects at school. Learning from home with the Virtual Lab is so easy. He sign's in each week and is engaged for the entire lesson, learning and laughing along the way. The tutors and staff always bend over backwards to help, they recognise and give additional support when needed. I'm extremely happy with FunTech and looking forward seeing what he will achieve with them next!
Thank you FunTech!

PureCoder level 2 - Evan M

Evan has enjoyed this first year of regular term time coding and has found challenging the discipline and logic of determining what the program requires and how to deliver it in code form. He is looking forward to next year.

I am not clear what he learnt, and would have appreciated a learning plan, an evaluation of his learning.

I am still to look at his USB stick with him to see what's on it.

Thanks

Indie Game Coder

My son really enjoyed the indie game coder course using Construct3 and has clearly learned a lot. He is able to create simple games independently and has lots of ideas for how to push his new skill forward.

My son enjoyed the course

My son enjoyed the course and had a real sense of achievement. His teacher was able to engage him and as such I didn't have any trouble getting my son to attend each day.

A great experience

My child really enjoyed the course. They are always on top of their game and maintained good contact with me and my child. Thank you!

Much more fun than school

From Max aged 12

Super fun and good for entry level game design. Really engaging and great teachers. It’s learning about tech in an interesting way - much more fun than school. I’d really recommend this to other people.

My son found the camp worthwhile and definitely improved his knowledge.
Virtual learning is always challenging but this was well organised and professionally delivered.
He did wish that there had been more interaction with other students, they learn from each other. I did feel that the students should have been requested/invited to show their faces rather than blank images. Face to face, even online is really important for understanding learning. This was not childcare for Owen but an opportunity to support his knowledge in readiness for his GCSE’s. I would definitely recommend.

Hi,
We would have liked a walk-through of their work and also to see that they have done some coding. Oliver showed me his work but did not show me where they had built blocks or done any coding.

FunTech Response
He was taught Lua Scripting, but independently decided not to incorporate any Lua into his final project

Java Coder 2 weeks

Thank you for a fun and helpful course which introduced me to a new programming language called Java. My mentor Fabian was very helpful and nice and I feel very comfortable with my knowledge in Java. FunTech organised an educational course and I can't wait for my next one.

These 10 days have passed by really fast. I will miss all the children I have met (Sofia) and Rachel. These 2 weeks were fantastic because we made our own backgrounds, made our own games, uploaded sprites and much much more. I will truly and forever remember my tutor and classmate. Hope I will still be in FunTech camps next summer break!

Review on Python Coder Course

This course was a great way to get into coding for a beginner. The tutor is very enthusiastic and encouraging to all of the students. The course is very well set and talks about all fundamental concepts of python.

I LOVED IT

I liked it because the challenges were very FUN!!!![Thus the name FunTech]. My favourite challenge was the was the Cleanup challenge because Knocking down the tower was EXTREMLY satisficing. That concludes my review. Hope to see you next summer!!!!!!! Rocco P. R. ;]

Roblox Review

Everything in the course was really fun, especially scripting and it covered everything that you would really need to know. There was a lot of freedom to do things you wanted, whilst sticking to the task. There was nothing really bad about it except for a few audio glitches.

I really enjoyed making mods, from blocks to alternate dimensions! I made lots of exciting new blocks, cool items, magical dimensions, biomes, armour, weapons. I didn't know how to farm or craft very much before this course, as I only started playing Minecraft in January! This is the most brilliant and amazing things I have ever done in my entire life. I rate this course: 99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999/10!
