Great Holiday Fun

My son really enjoyed his week at Funtech and looked forward to each new day, he learnt a lot and developed his skills in a friendly atmosphere.

A perfect experience abroad for our son

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.

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.

This course has really fired Sasa's enthusiasm for programming and his understanding of logic. Every evening, when I collected him, I was given a detailed explanation of everything he had learnt that day....in sharp contrast to the "Fine" I often get in response to the question "How was your day at school today?"
Great to know that he has spent the week having fun and learning computer logic as well as Minecraft.

Minecraft Redstone

My son has thoroughly enjoyed his week on the Minecraft Redstone course. He was really excited each morning and has already asked if he can come back. He is now keen to attend the 3D gaming course.

Great camp - recommend for anybody interested in doing a bit more with minecraft

My son really loved going there everyday and as a added benefit was exposed to the world of logic. Next project to get him on a raspberry pi and get him coding. It really managed to get him interested into the basics of redstone and logic

My Daughter Loved It

My daughter had a brilliant time learning new ways to use redstone and exploring other aspects of Minecraft.

Great couse

After a bit if reluctance to go, from day one my son was hooked and really enjoyed the course. Great location.

He had an amazing time!

My son loved the entire week. He learned so much and couldn't wait to show us everything he had created throughout his time at FunTech. He is eager to take more courses now.

Loved it!

Sammy and his friends loved this course. So much fun and educational too. Looking forward to Minecraft Mods, Robotics or Coding next.

Touch Typing

Sabrina had a fun time this week. She liked playing the computer games as well as the football at break time! Many thanks.

touch typing

Oliver thoroughly enjoyed the course. He found the games fun, and he liked the group of kids and the tutor. Many thanks.

thorough and good amosphere

My son applied himself in a way I hadn't expected and has really made great progress. There is more to do at home, but he is motivated, which is excellent. The FunTech team were friendly and helpful. I would certainly recommend this course. Leora (Mum)

GCSE IT

Funtech noticed my son's strengths as soon as they met him a few years ago and on hearing this from such cool people, it boosted my son's confidence more than you can imagine!

Funtech noticed my son's strengths as soon as they met him a few years ago and on hearing this from such cool people, it boosted my son's confidence more than you can imagine! My son is dyslexic and has a slow processing speed, and with the excellent support from all the teachers and staff at Funtech he completed his GCSE IT 2 years early and was thrilled to get an A. I am very proud of him and also grateful to Funtech for spotting him all those years ago and giving me the confidence to let him fly with his GCSEs. He learnt a lot about how to study too, his way, which he can now take through to his other courses. The staff are engaging, fun, knowledgable and most importantly - cool!

Fun Typer Day Camp August 2015

My 11 year old daughter attended the Fun Type, 5 day course over the summer and thoroughly enjoyed her time, and we are pleased to see the great results she has achieved. A special thank you to the course leaders Joseph and Nicholas. They showed great enthusiasm over the week.

Matthew loved the Camp. Adrian taught him very well. Matthew learned a lot having lots of fun at the same time. He would like to continue with Junior Launch Pad.

Minecraft Redstone course in Reading

Overall, a good course in terms of engagement and Minecraft learning. Could be much better in terms of customer care (e.g. awareness of what is booked, communication with parents on what is happening, setting expectations, etc) Suggest following: 1. A basic list of things to be covered ...

Overall, a good course in terms of engagement and Minecraft learning.

Could be much better in terms of customer care (e.g. awareness of what is booked, communication with parents on what is happening, setting expectations, etc)

Suggest following:

1. A basic list of things to be covered on the course

2. Some assessment of learning objectives and level of knowledge at the beginning so progress can be assessed at the end and kids can be helped learn comfortably rather than feel inadequate when in a more advanced group

GAMEPRO SUMMER CAMP

My son really enjoyed his week, put his programming skills into practice and most importantly had fun!!

An excellent course!

They can type!!
Our two boys thoroughly enjoyed the course and are now expert typists! This will provide them with excellent skills as they progress through their GCSE's.

Great camp

Really well done. Well organised. Great way to ignite enthusiasm about computers!
Lovely and friendly staff.
V happy we did it.

Drone Coder

I am so jealous of my children!

Wonderful time for kids!

My son went on this course and has raved about it each night as to how much fun it was. Not just the building of a robot but the learning about how to program the robot and make him do what he wants. I have no doubt that he has loved all the learning that he has done.

Very enjoyable week!

My son had lot of fun at this camp and learned how to use FPS Creator and make 'awesome' games using it!!
His tutor Kwaku was helpful and kind and the venue was in a nice setting....thanks so much FUNTECH !

3D Game @StAlbans

Georgia really enjoyed her work building a game. She loved the interaction with her tutor and other kids. She would definitely return for another course probably animation or 3D modelling.

Redstone summer camp

my son absolutely loved it. The content was quite challenging for him but his coach was very helpful and kept me informed of the progress. Overall I am very happy and looking forward to his next summer camps with FunTECH

Best summer camp ever!

My 10 year-old son thoroughly enjoyed his week on this course. He was happy and excited to come here every single day and can't wait to attend another one next summer!

Just Great!

Sound advice and great learning all wrapped up in fun. No moans for a week means its been amazing.

Review

Jonathan really enjoyed his week. He has been talking about circuits and levers and switches and seems to have learned alot. I think this has certainly given him a greater interest in a deeper level and he would love to do another course.

Fun and Educational

Luca thoroughly enjoyed his week with Nick and the fact that he had almost one to one teaching. Nick was very thorough with his teaching and knew how to get the best out of Luca, which i found impressive.
Nick was always helpful and ready to give explanations regarding the work or any other matter and willing and dedicated enough to stay behind longer in the day or come in very early to accomodate any pupils (including Luca) on day 4.
Luca has gained so much knowledge and experience from being taught Mods by Nick...
very valuable for Luca's next stages of development.
Thanks so much to Nick and Funtech!

My son was happy to participate on this course and had a 'fun' time doing his favourite activity - computing. He already knew some of the techniques but gathered a lot more knowledge along the way. I chose it for him because it seemed an educational, enjoyable and productive workshop which it proved to be. He was excited with his 3D printed creation at the end and and I was very impressed with the dedication of the workshop team.

Joe is a patient considerate and thorough tutor and my son really enjoyed his first experience with Funtech on his first week ever. I really feel that learning Java has given Luca a deeper understanding which he can now carry forward, in order to learn and enjoy other courses. Joe always managed to keep his cool and explain anything which i as a parent didnt understand if i had any questions. He is polite and helpful and made sure he went through as much of what Luca learned with myself present at the end of the week, as he had time for; also on a daily basis if there was anything myself or Luca needed to know. He made us aware of the fact that Java can be challenging and found ways round teaching it effectively to Luca for his age and understanding level.
Thank you so much Joe and Funtech!

Thumbs up!

My son started off fairly sceptical, but has thoroughly enjoyed his week. He began as a complete novice but is now totally confident in setting up his own game at home, and is really enjoying exploring all the possible options.

Thank you very much :)

Redstone

My son has enjoyed the week and learnt something new. Hopefully it has given him the confidence to tackle a programming course next time.

Thank you tutors!

Seems to have been a very successful week!

Jacob has been very enthusiastic every day going to Java Code Camp.
He has learnt so much and can't wait to carry on at home improving the skills hes learnt.
He has especially liked the Tutors Kwaku and Yuvesh who have been very clear with instruction and been very supportive throughout the week. He is keen to do another course next summer which we will have no hesitation signing him up for. We were a bit worried as he is only 10 if it would be at a suitable level but Jacob has managed to keep up with the rest of the class and thrive on the knowledge he has learnt. Big thank you for a great week.

I was wondering if 8.30am-5pm was too long for a whole week but I have to say my son who is 8 years old totally enjoyed every minute of it and learned so much during this course. He came home every day full of new ideas he was going to try out in his minecraft world. The only disappointment was when the week came to an end, he is looking forward to next year so he can complete the next course.
I would definitely recommend this course to any child who is into computers, programming and minecraft.

Minecraft redstone

Samuel really enjoyed his week. His knowledge has come on leaps and bounds and has really fired his enthusiasm. I love the fact that he can bring all his hard work home and share with his friends and family. This was his second year doing the course and will definitely return !

Excellent!

This was my son's first course with Fun Tech and also with coding. He had a great time and enjoyed the course immensely. The instructors were friendly and approachable too. I have booked him onto another course next week as he loved this one!

Awesome

Both my boys really enjoyed the course and learnt a lot about Redstone. And now they understand logic as well!

Useful learning

# she did enjoy waking up and going to funtech everyday
# i think the price for one week of teaching looks a bit steep. It would be great value at two thirds the price and will attract multiple times the number of parents. worth considering the pricing to expand the reach of such a nice teaching network.
# Hampstead staff were very helpful and were ready to answer all the questions and helped with any booking & confirmation.
# we did have the confidence that the children will be taken care of properly for the entire time.

I'd come again.

I think my child enjoyed the week and has learnt the fundamentals of touch typing. I look forward to helping her practice and returning to a further class. Thanks

Very well organised

My son is learning a lot and for what I can see it is very well organised. I was impressed by the quick response of the organisers when I called in with a little concerned.

Good experience

Both children (12 & 15) really enjoyed - good experience and sense of achievement!

Highly recommended

My eight year old son had a great week. He was fully engaged for five days and said the course was "awesome". He made friends on the course and the instructors certainly know how to inspire them and make it fun.

Fantastic

My son enjoyed the camp ,he loved all the time he had there ,everyone had enough knowledge to help the kids also all been kind and polite .we will come back .highly recommending to every one to try .Thanks to all .

great fun

This is the first time for my kids to participate in the Tech Summer Camp Program, they were in the 3D game design, they enjoyed it and they learned great ideas they had fun and I think they would go again.

5 star

My daughter Tabitha really enjoyed the course and came home full of beans every day. She was very keen to tell me how much she had learned and really liked all the building and playing with new types of lego. She wants to be an engineer and this course really reinforced that ambition.
