My Daughter enjoyed the virtual camps in Python and 3D Game Design which were convient and offered a safe space to start her learning journey. Tutors were attentive and gave her additional time, it is so important that girls can have future careers in tech and it starts without having their confidence knocked by those who have had more opportunities to test out their skills. My Daughter is keen to come back and learn more...so I am delighted that her first toe dip has been a successs and she would love a Minecraft design course aimed at secondary school age, if it is possible. Thank you Funtech team for making this learning accessible to all.

Great course!

It’s a great course and the tutor Nathan totally motivates my child’s passion on Python. Just after the 1st course, my child can not wait for the next one! Can we enrol Python 2 as soon as possible ? :)

Thank you!

Fantastic learning experience

A second course and part 2 of Java coding.... a great experience for my son and although he found it tricky at the start of the week the team at funtech did everything possible to support his needs. Communication was excellent throughout the course and the tutoring support was outstanding.

Thanks for a great course with our 10 year old son. It was his first online coding course and he loved it. The teacher kept him engaged and we were so impressed with our son's focus and astounded by what he managed to build within the week. It did exactly what it says on the tin and more, he is now super confident about building Roblox games and is continuing to build them. The structure was just right and the breaks well timed and the teacher was super patient with them all. Really recommend it and we look forward to completing more courses with Funtech.

FunTech Review

Megha really enjoyed the sessions and has started playing around with the code.

It was time well spent during holidays.

I will be booking more sessions with funtech

Best so far

This is the second Funtech course that my daughter has done. The first (2 years ago) was good, but this time was much better. We have a M1 Mac which was a effort to set up before, but Funtech have caught up and give more robust instructions now. My daughter was sceptical before the course but really

This is the second Funtech course that my daughter has done. The first (2 years ago) was good, but this time was much better. We have a M1 Mac which was a effort to set up before, but Funtech have caught up and give more robust instructions now. My daughter was sceptical before the course but really enjoyed it, thinking she we use it afterwards and that the teaching was very good.

My 12 year old daughter loved this course.

A great introduction to this subject. My daughter really enjoyed the course and is now doing the next level. The tutor, Kevin, was patient and explained the topics well. As a parent I'm very satisfied with Funtech's courses, both virtual and the face-to-face 1 week Roblox course that my daughter did

While there were, as one would expect, few teasing moments, the overall experience was positive, the Funtech team worked very efficiently and any troubleshooting required was smooth and speedy.

Fantastic learning experience

Ethan loved the Java coding course from day 1. The instructor Kevin was absolutely fantastic - friendly, helpful and regularly checking progress etc.
The pace was perfect and my son thoroughly enjoyed his course.

Another Fabulous Course

This is the fourth course my son has completed with FunTech. Once again he enjoyed the content and learned a lot. The small class sizes, structure of the day and online delivery are all great.

AI - machine learning

Luz learned a lot through the course. Thank you very much

AI Machine Learning

James, aged 12, has had, yet again, a super week with Fun Tech this time on AI learning, He has been coding for chatbots, face recognition, landmark detection to name a few. He really liked his teacher and was kept stimulated and engaged for the course. Great work, FunTech! Keep it up!

3D Game course

My son enjoyed your virtual holiday camp.
He loves learning to use software, and he understands it in great detail thanks to the great tutors that Funtech always hire.

Mod Developer Part 1

My son loved this camp & he thought the trainer was brilliant! Well worth investing in

Minecraft- Redstone

My son loved the course. Thank you so much for keeping him entertained on so many rainy days!!

Very good course

Teacher was very nice and my daughter loved it.

Phoebe's Camp!

Phoebe absolutely loved the camp...
From a parent's perspective it was very well run, and the teachers were engaged with the kids and responsible.
Thank you!

Great fun & good learning

My son took a one week virtual camp on Python. He absolutely loved it and learned lots.
At then end of each day, he could not wait to tell me all about it, every detail!
It was a small group and the tutor was also very engaging. Great experience which I recommend.

Roblox Developer Part1

My son thoroughly enjoyed this course. He looked forward to this each day and he was productively engaged each afternoon. The tutor was very attentive, knowledgable and patient.

Great fun and learned a lot

My son enjoyed the course very much, the tutor was excellent and the small class of 6 was a suitable number. He enjoyed the content and has certainly learned a lot about coding. He's keen to do more!

Great, educational and fun course

Thank you FunTech - Charlie hugely enjoyed his course. Aidan, the teacher was patient and great with the kids and Charlie had a brilliant time and learnt lots. The Support Team also checked in on us if they felt we needed help. Would definitely recommend.

Great course

Thank you FunTech, Will had a great time. The course was engaging and gave my son the opportunity to learn a new coding programme to a depth he wouldn’t have got at school. Lovely tutor too.

Mindcraft coding

Thank you so much. After a few technical setting ins - Adin very much enjoyed his summer online camp week with you! All the very best - Katarina

Python Game Coder

This was a great course for our son. He has done the previous two levels and he created a game putting together all the items learnt previously. It was fantastic to see the enthusiasm and the fun he had over a week. Great course, great set up, good teacher. Flawless! I fully recommend it!

Endless hours of fun

Our son is a huge Minecraft fan, but had never been intrigued to attend any camp until this one. He loved every second of it and is begging to take Part 2!

Fabulous camp idea!

My 8yo loves Minecraft but I wanted his screen time to be more productive. This was the ultimate “learn through play” camp for him, and he scored it 20/10!!! I thought 3.5hrs might be too long but if his attention did wander the tutor was great at pulling him back in. We had one incident where he

My 8yo loves Minecraft but I wanted his screen time to be more productive. This was the ultimate “learn through play” camp for him, and he scored it 20/10!!!
I thought 3.5hrs might be too long but if his attention did wander the tutor was great at pulling him back in. We had one incident where he got upset and wouldn’t talk to anyone. The tutor Christopher discreetly contacted head office who called me repeatedly until I answered. This was hugely appreciated and I felt the team really cared. I was working from home so was then able to go and get my child sorted. 200% recommend! We will be back for the advanced level camp soon.

My son thoroughly enjoyed the course and was very happy with the balance between tutor's demonstration of concepts, having a go at developing and playing the games. He was well supported when he got stuck and very excited about knowing the unreal engine concepts and being able to design various levels of a given game tutorial. We will definitely be back for the advance stage and my son will surely sing of his epic adventure with funtech..

My son took part in the 3D Game design virtual week course. He thoroughly enjoyed it, and was engaged throughout and has developed new skills and confidence while completing the course. The course has ignited his imagination and boosted his enthusiasm for game design. The tutor was very supportive, knowledgeable and competent and inspirational. On the final day doing their individual projects it would have been nice for the students to have enough time to show each other their game design to see how others had used the course to develop their own game ideas. Overall, the course was a huge success and I would definitely recommend it to those interested in game design.

Great systems in place for virtual teaching. We had no issues with connection.

My 12 year old daughter found the course useful, but as she was the only girl she did find it a little bit isolating at times. We definitely need more girls getting involved with this as it seems to be a very male dominated activity.

Unfortunately there were a few occasions throughout the course where the usual tutor was absent, through no fault of FunTech, they had to arrange some cover, which they did quickly and kept me informed when having to do so.

Had many calls from FunTech throughout the two week course to see how my daughter was getting on, it was reassuring to know that they wanted her to have a good experience and to see whether there was anything that could be done to improve it.

I have no doubt that we will be booking onto another course in the future.

Excellent week of learning

My son had a great week extending his coding knowledge. I am grateful that Funtech keep extending the syllabus so that he can do a new course each summer.

3D Gaming

My son really enjoyed the 2 week (half day) virtual course on 3D gamning with Unreal engine. Funtech asked for a bit of pre-course prep from me as a parent (checking Broadband speed and computer spec - it was all reasonable to ask and fairly straightforward) and took 2x20mins. We used childcare v

My son really enjoyed the 2 week (half day) virtual course on 3D gamning with Unreal engine. Funtech asked for a bit of pre-course prep from me as a parent (checking Broadband speed and computer spec - it was all reasonable to ask and fairly straightforward) and took 2x20mins.

We used childcare vouchers to pay (you need to pay upfront by card but then we got the money back quickly from Funtech once the childcare scheme had sent their payment). Without this option I do not think we would have booked the course.

Overall I was impressed with how my son remained engaged over the whole two weeks and he seems to have retained a real interest in the subject and learned other transferable skills. The person running the course seems to have struck a good balance between moments where they are all chatting and others when they are progressing the specific course elements.

Overall very good and certainly a good review from my son.

Virtual camp python coding

It is very good to start on coding

Python OOP Virtual Camp

My son really enjoyed the week-long virtual camp which was well organised and fun. Although it seemed quite a lot to be tied to the screen all day the time really flew by and there were plenty of breaks. This is our third (virtual) camp with Funtech and we will sign up for more going forwards.

My son is not a gaming boy as such so was worried, he wouldn't be interested. However, this course was great for him. He thoroughly enjoyed it and was self-sufficient once all the software was loaded. Loading of software was a little challenging which is understandable given everyone has a different set up. We found it worked best on a PC.

Would definitely recommend. It was engaging, the learning of a good skill and a great way to keep them occupied through the holidays!

A.I. - Machine Learning

Thank you FunTech for the amazing courses and instructors!

Very engaged coding lesson, very good overall

The coding lessons seems well- structured, could be better to spend a bit time in each day to explain the learning objects and outcomes, and have a summary at the end of each lesson for study focus.

There are some teaching contents delivered by direct recorded videos, which seems not very effective and kids may think they are not very interesting. Hand-on projects are embedded in the lesson which is very good, maybe some blend in more quiz or mini games in a group setting could keep students more concentrated in the study.

Python Virtual Coding Camp

My 12 year old son thoroughly enjoyed attending. He selected the part-time, 2 week course. This worked well throughout the summer holidays. The teacher (Musaab) was great with the children. Overall, a well ran course with excellent support. We will be signing up to the next one.

Harry told me he really enjoyed this last course .. and his tutor was very knowledgeable and helpful and he enjoyed doing this course with other people more his own age.

He seemed to be occupied and interested for the whole 5 days .. we have previously done just pms so this week was intensive but it seemed to work well for him and I think he had leant new things that were previously gaps in his knowledge.

I think these funtech courses have been very professionally presented and run and I am very impressed with the level and standard of knowledge and teaching on offer.

This was a brilliant course for my 15 year old daughter. Just the right level, and with a wonderful teacher providing all the support that was needed. She thoroughly enjoyed it.

The level was high and kept our son engaged at all times.

We were very happy with the camp and would recommend it.

He particularly enjoyed the fact that the teacher didn’t dictate what to write, but gave examples with explanations and then left the students to write their own code.

Highly recommended.

Very good camp

My son Felix enjoyed the camp. It was a little too much information in one day for an 11 years old boy but I think he learned a lot and next year we have to book the 2 week camp so he can better focus every day. It was very professionally organized.

Thank you!
