This course covered a lot of the basics and useful features of C++ which is very useful if you are trying to scale up your ability in the future. The tutor was excellent and always eager to help you if you encounter any errors. Our class was quite fast so most of lesson time went to consolidating past and present information which was actually very helpful as it meant you didn't have to keep looking back to remember certain techniques. I also found the challenges to be very fun, particularly when you are nearing the end of the course and can explore a wider variety of projects. Overall, an excellent course with an excellent tutor!

This review is for all the courses I have taken at FunTech over 7 years, I can confidently say that this whole journey has been a more than a fulfilling experience. I have learnt a lot about developing my algorithmic skills from the start where I learnt all the functions of applications such as word and excel to the final years where the courses were orientated around python and even Unreal Engine game development. Every year, the courses have felt fresh and something brand new and I have also learnt a lot of new skills to get to this point. I will definitely be adding a lot about FunTech in my personal statement when I apply for UCAS and it has been a pleasure, it is sad to see the journey finally come to a permanent end as it only felt like yesterday that I was being taught how to create spreadsheets.

PureCoder Level 3 - Beyond expectations!

I had a spectacular time learning how to create my own game engine in python (using a handy tool known as pygame)! I had loads of fun creating games and developing my own game engine, which will certainly come in handy!
I really like how we started our engine from the basics, but expanded it over time and eventually it becomes this superpower to easily make games with. It lets you really go in depth and learn how everything works, rather than being given a big, complete file with everything in it and you being unable to understand anything. In fact, I have even adapted my engine at the end of this since I have learned so much!
Finally, I say a massive thank you to FunTech and all the tutors and people who took their time to write and teach the course material and write countless extra activities to keep you busy if things are slightly slowing down! I would recommend this course to anybody who enjoys and understands coding.
Thank you!

Funtech overall has been an enjoyable, awesome time for me as I get to learn lots of different styles of code and also do it at home fresh in the morning which has been quite easy for me to do. All my tutors (Safa being the main one) have been extremely kind and helpful, and I also want to give a big thanks to Support Tech (Abul) for all the help and fixing my computers after technical problems. I am so happy I have the additional coding and computing knowledge now, so thank you Funtech! :)

Learning Python

All the three terms were designed well and created a good understanding of python for me.

I loved Funtech this year and enjoyed every challenge. I particularly enjoyed coding games like pacman and using turtle was also quite fun.

game zone

i loved it was so fun and my teacher was very kind it was really fun to make games level it was the best one yet

My experience in Funtech

I loved all the lessons and how you would help us everytime we got stuck, and when folders didn't work you would help us by resending the folders. Thank you for being a good Funtech tutor!

My course this year!

It was amazing and I enjoyed all of it! Animating, drawing and designing websites was super fun and I'm really looking forward to next year! :)

Excellent fun!

This course has been really fun and engaging through the year. The difficulty was perfect, with extension activities available to go further if you finish early. The tutor was amazing, making lessons both productive and enjoyable.

I really enjoyed the Pure Coder Level 6 course, where I learnt the fundamentals of machine learning and artificial intelligence.
Term 1, we started by using a variety of libraries (nltk, tensorflow and tflearn) to build a simple chatbot that used sentiment analysis on the user's input.

During term 2, we learnt how to build neural networks from scratch, including adding activation layers and fully connected layers. We also learnt about cost functions, learning rate and back propagation.

I particularly enjoyed the last term, where we learned how to implement reinforcement learning into a variety of games, such as snake. This course is more challenging and demanding than the FunTech courses I've taken previously. It contains quite a bit of maths, such as derivatives, matrices and dot product. Therefore, I appreciate the optional consolidate-it challenges after each lesson, and the skills checks every 3 lessons to make sure that I understand all the concepts fully.

In addition, my tutor has been brilliant at explaining all the concepts and helping me when I was stuck on something during a challenge.

Overall, this is a spectacular and extremely useful course, and I would strongly recommend it to anyone interested in learning about machine learning.

Thank you, FunTech, for another great year!

PC03 was a very good experience - I learned a lot from a very enthusiastic and understandable teacher. Every session was great, not only in content, but in overall experience. The tutors are great - the main one who taught my class, as well as the various others I learnt from in catchup sessions.

The content in PC03 is nothing short of brilliant - it far surpasses PC02 and PC01 in complexity, but the transition wasn't a difficult one, and the information was split down into easy to digest units.

Pygame is very daunting, but the tutors and exercises helped to make it easier.

If you have finished PC02, I greatly recommend taking on PC03 aswell. It's not only a brilliant addition to the knowledge already obtained in the previous units, but also a wonderful experience.

Also ngl tbh here Indigo is the best teacher hes like the god of python i once was dying and then he ressurected me it was crazy ngl best teacher ever the GOAT. what a slay queen sksksksks

This course was fun and i learned alot from this.

My Funtech Year review

I had a great year at funtech and learned so much. I had a great time learning how to use, code and create on several websites. I have learned to create games code websites and microbits and overall have an amazing technological adventure! Thank you for giving me a wonderfull experience. ☺︎

Funtech

These Funtech lessons have been really fun and enjoyable. I have learnt a lot more about using the micro bit throughout the passing weeks. Since the day i started this course, i loved it! I liked how we got to do these cool projects on the microbit .

my funtech review.

what i liked about it was that on term one it was fun how you got to like paint stuff and things and also the thing i liked about microbit was the thing when you put the on shak code block you could press shake and the thing shakes

10/10

Funtech is indeed, fun, as well as organized, well explained and much more.

I've been taking Funtech for almost six years now, and I can safely say that every session has been worth it. I came in with little to no Python experience as a starry-eyed nine-year-old who had a passion for video games, and left confident in my abilities, with a passion for not only games but the design behind them.

All the tutors I've had over the years have been brilliant; there's plenty of different topics out there when it comes to computer science, and through the years, they've all been covered in not only depth, but breadth.

You won't regret signing up with Funtech - it's been brilliant, and I would absolutely recommend it.

I am very happy that I have been taking funtech courses for the last five years. I have done all the courses from PC01 to PC06. It is crazy to think that I started this when I was 12 but I have improved a lot in these years. When I started I only knew the basics of python and scratch but throughout the years I have learned more about programming such as more complex ideas in python like object oriented programming and how to make a game in python, I have learned how to program in C++ and thanks to me learning C++ I managed to compete in the West European Informatic Olympiad, I learned about how to use a game engine which has given me to confidence to start making my own game and I learned the most important concepts behind neutral networks. As I said I am incredibly happy to have taken these courses, they have not only taught me how to do things in python, C++ or unreal engine five but how to approach difficult tasks and solve them. I would recommend these courses to teens who are interested in computers and problem solving and that is why I give the Pure Coder courses five stars.
