Virtual Camp for 13 Year Old

My son really enjoyed his Virtual Camp, learning 3D game design using Unreal Engine. The tutor was really patient, helpful and supportive. I was really impressed with the quality of the games he produce by the end of the course. He is now teaching his younger brother to use the software!

3D Game Design

My son thoroughly enjoyed this course! The course tutor really made the course interesting and was able to help understand the material. My son was eager to show us what he had learned and coded. Really cool to see the excitement! Thank you FunTech!

My daughter loved it

This is the first camp that my daughter has come back from and said she loved it! She is a very picky person usually.

Caring staff

My child enjoyed the programme very much. What impressed me was when my child was late in attending one morning, one of the staff quickly called to check/remind.

I hope the residential camp would reopen soon.

3D Game Design

My 11 year old son loved this and was very excited about his design. The tutor, Connor, was very friendly and informative. He also was great at helping us set up the Virtual Window at the start of the first session. Overall highly recommended!

Great course

My son loved the 3D game designer course. He’s 12 and it was just right for him. The tutor guided the children through how to use the software and helped them with anything they got stuck with when designing their own games. The perfect course for creative minds!

Very useful and enjoyable course

3D gaming fun!

My son has never undertaken a holiday course like this before and absolutely loved it. The small group meant he had just the right balance of contact and interaction with others but allowed him to get on and work independently too. He was excited to get stuck in and took great pride in showing us

He was excited to get stuck in and took great pride in showing us the start of his own 3D game at the end of the week.
The FunTech team were brilliant with any questions and concerns we had, and kept him engaged all week.
I can highly recommend the course to anyone. At 13 he is hard to please, but you guys managed it! Thanks

Tibi enjoyed the 3D Game Design virtual camp a lot. He is always excited to learn new things in computer and he hasn't been disappointed. As a FunTech fan, he will be coming back soon. Many thanks to the tutor and FunTech team.

Fantastic, but hard work !

Our son loved the course and soaked up the content like a sponge, though I think he would like to learn more in order to be able to put all of the ideas he has into practice! The 9-5 days were quite long for him and at the end of every day he was tired, although happy because of the sense of achieve

My 11 year old son did this course and absolutely loved it! Very well run, stimulating and informative, a great way to spend 2 weeks of holiday time. Thoroughly recommend it!

Adnan enjoyed his time at virtual camp and learnt new techniques he will apply going forward. Thank you to the funtech team for being promptly available for resolving technical issues when we reported them.

My son really enjoyed being able to do the course from home although as a parent I would have liked him to have got to know the other students on the course, I would imagine they are like-minded people with similar interests.

My son says that he enjoyed experimenting with the props the best and enjoyed the whole experience of the doing the course online. He especially liked the fact that he could work in the mornings and have the afternoon off.

The course was expensive but I didn't mind, especially as I could use childcare vouchers. It felt like money well spent.

It would have been great if this course was the start of some kind of qualification in 3D gaming design as I can see my son doing the next level of this course next Summer or on the next holiday. It would be great if he could eventually gain a qualification from doing a series of courses over a number of holidays or years (similar to ballet where the RAD grades are equivalent to GCSE grades which go higher the more grades you do (grade 1 being equivalent to a D or E at GCSE) - young people can then use these qualifications on their CV when applying for their first jobs).

3D game design camp

My 13 year old son had a great time on the course, he liked the tutors and said they were very helpful and fun to learn from. The content of the course was good and my son came away with a racing game he developed and which he continues to play with and amend.

Learning to write python

Our son found the virtual camp excellent. He was amazed by the tutor and the content of the learning. A good head start for his future in a fun way!

My 14 year old son has done three courses over the summer. He also did Python Coding and Python Game Developer. He said this one (3D Game Design) was the most fun. All of them have kept him fully occupied and he has enjoyed them and learnt from them. We encountered a problem with this one (our fault, not Funtech's) in that my son's laptop was not good enough to download the software and so we swapped him to our main computer. The support and contact from the Funtech team was very helpful, prompt and efficient.

She wants to see if there is another course that she can do!

Really fun course undertaken virtually.

Wonderful experience

Our 11 year old son had a wonderful time at his 3D Game Design virtual camp this summer. The first day was a bit challenging but thanks to the fantastic support he received from his tutor and the staff he ended up having an amazing time. Thank you so much!

Loved it

Mihai loved the makers approach and atmosphere and it was the only thing he was really proud of this summer. We want to do the next one. Which one is it?

Fabulous!

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.

Great experience

My son was a very reluctant participant at first, very nervous about being in a virtual classroom. However he thoroughly enjoyed the experience and learnt so much. He has even asked if there is an advanced level course he can attend to continue his learning.

3D Game Design

He really enjoyed the course, and thought the teacher was 'brilliant'. He has enough knowledge now to carry on learning on his own, but is looking forward to being able to take another course in the future if there's one that builds on this one.

3d game maker - Clearly enjoyed by my 11 year old

Samuel very much enjoyed his week on this course. A clearer path for keeping and being able to improve on his game at the end of the week would have been a big plus. I was impressed with how they were able to make friends even though they weren't there in person. I thought the tutor managed well

We were incredibly impressed with the course and its content, but absolutely blown away by the amazing support our daughter received. She is somewhat of a perfectionist, prone to bouts of anxiety and the occasional ASD meltdown. After a lesson in which she panicked, the Funtech team called us to offer a recap of the lesson and some extra support - this was all it took to reassure her. She has looked forward to each lesson, has learned tons and has finished the course brimming with ideas that she now knows how to put into action. We will definitely be booking with Funtech in the future! Thank you to all the team!

Great course which Archie enjoyed AND learnt some skills from. The course leader, Sam, was excellent and had the patience of a saint.

Luca enjoyed some parts of this course but struggled with the virtual side. With his dyslexia he struggles remembering the instructions so we ended up taking a photo because the instructions moved on. He also found the constant chattering of some students very off putting, making it hard to concentrate and hear. The instructor was very helpful and Luca gained confidence to use the messaging chat to ask for help over the first few days. Its a hard course but very interesting and Luca said he would have preferred a classroom - at least he tried!

My son enjoyed doing 3D Game Design very much and is extremely keen to do more at Fun Tech. Learning and fun at the same time during the summer school holidays - perfect. Joseph is an excellent teacher - inspirational even! Thank you

Great couse

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

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.

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.
