I really liked funtech

I really enjoyed doing the course, especially with being able to write it and see how it worked. I have to say I found some parts hard, but being able to ask the tutor any questions was really helpful. I also really liked how they would not tell you the answer but help you find the answer yourself.

Challenging but fun

I liked the python course because even though we started off simple it got quite interesting and the last two days where we got to do pretty hard coding challenges was my favourite part. The teacher was also really nice.

it was really fun and arianna is super fun! i really enjoyed her as our tutor. i will really miss doing this because i have made such great friends during it. it was so fun and i wish that if i ever do this again, i get the same tutor and classmates. the learning we have done has expanded my interest in coding and has inspired me to be a coder when i grow up. My only thing is that they could make the lessons even more interesting with game challenges. apart from that, my experience at funtech was incredible and I am exited to do it again next year!

Arianna's Boss: this course was actually really good

it was really fun(tech))))) to be doing this course.  no winsound. This course was the first I've ever done and I thought it was really good. Definitely one of the best coding camps I've ever taken.

Everythings fine

Everythings is fine and our teachers i very nice

Good for beginners

This course started with the basics, which was good. The tutor was really supportive and gave us time to complete each task.

Great for first-time Python Coders

It's my son's first time to try Python coding and i'm glad that his first foray was with FunTech. To say that his interest was piqued would be an understatement as his enthusiasm for coding was on fire from the 1st day of the virtual camp. We hope to join other classes in the near future!

The course requires a bit of pre-installation to get going but the instructions were pretty clear and we were able to get going on time. Unfortunately the first half day was spent it seems with trying to get everyone else up to the same level. Once the course got going Jacob found it very simple and I often found him playing on his phone whilst waiting for others to catch up. The course did get more challenging for him but he always seemed to be sat around, waiting for others to catch up. This was the main disappointment for me, he is obviously more capable of going faster and have more challenging work set, but the course has to get everyone along at the same pace. Such a shame - he has the same issue at school, so not just a Funtech thing. But I feel that adding in extension exercises or bringing in concepts like test driven development, documentation generation, things like that would keep the more able engaged and off their phones.

I myself am in IT and thought the curriculum was a little light, and the stuff that they were coding, whilst teaching the basics, didn't seem to be engaging or exciting. Python has some great gaming libraries and graphics capabilities so it would have been good to see something at the end of the week where the students plot a graph or draw a pie chart or navigate a skier down a slope or similar.

But, at the end of the day, when asked, Jacob said he enjoyed the course and learned something new. And that's what it is all about. So no complaints - take the above as suggestions.

This was my 9 and 11 year old daughters' first Virtual Camp. They both really enjoyed their classes and were really looking forward to the sessions each morning. They were kept engaged throughout the sessions and were very complimentary of the instructors. The instructors also seem very committed to their learning, with one of then calling after class to check that one of them had understood an area that she had questioned during class.

We are extremely happy with FunTech. Our 9 year-old son has an interest in coding. He thoroughly enjoyed the course. The materials and sessions are interactive and very well prepared. After short theoretical introductions, which are made very engaging and interesting, the children work in practical exercises with the support of the tutor. My son learnt a lot and also had fun. I have now decided to register him for the term time courses. Excellent course!

The course was great but what impressed me even more was FunTech's real desire to make sure that every child was on a course for their level, that they were enjoying it and were learning. It was genuine care not a case of taking your money and that was it. My son found his original course too challenging so the Fun Tech team got on the phone and rang me with suggestions for alternatives. They clearly wanted to make it a great experience for him. I wouldn't hesitate to book again with FunTech.

Python coding - excellent!

I can’t think of a holiday camp the kids have enjoyed more. Cirrus camp worked very well, and was incredibly convenient, though I think they may have benefitted even more from being on location and having someone literally looking over their shoulder. They both thoroughly enjoyed it, and I think it’s been an excellent introduction. We’ll be back for another I’m sure. Many thanks, Geoff

My son says ‘amazing’

In his words “Teacher was nice. It was fun. Helpful teacher. Learnt a lot. Other kids were nice. Can now do lots of loops” (whatever that is!!).
From my point of view, he was happy and engaged and enjoyed each session.

Making game

i liked Pycharm coding because it was fun to make games and learn hot to code on a computer.the game was particularly fun.

FunTech review

I found it really fun.
The lessons were clear, the Tutor was very helpful and friendly.

Had a lot of fun trying out python for the first time was a bit difficult but very enjoyable and I loved designing my game at the end on the last days

Easter end of term

It was good. I loved coding, the instructer was really nice, he helped us out a lot, it was well thought and I loved it!

I really enjoyed the camp over the two weeks due to the tutor being very friendly and willing to cope with any amount of mistakes that the others and I made and the 15 mins breaks I thought were a very good idea for people to rest and get away from screens. My problems with it were that the first day was very slow, due to the start of the camp needing to cover the basics. I know that it is unavoidable, but in the future, I think that they can try to present it in a different way. There were also a few mistakes on the presentation, but they were all corrected by the tutor as we went through the lessons. Overall, a very good experience.

The python course was fun & excellent

I really enjoyed the python course. The course broadened my understanding of python and taught me new topics. The tutor was always there to help me when I asked a question or need help with my code. The python course was really fun & excellent!

I Loved this course I wish it didn't end so fast. The pace was slow to take everything in but fast to work and not get bored or waiting. I learned a lot from all the Funtech courses over my life but I think I most enjoyed this one the most, as I want to be a coder for robots as I grow up and I think this has improved my skill on what I had no idea of what I was doing at the start, now I can code with confidence. The tutor was amazing always happy to help and explained thing that didn't make sense. Loved it . Thanks Funtech :D

Funtech - python coding

It was fun and challenging but not too hard and not too easy to be boring. Overall I thought it was fun and a good learning experience.

great and you learn a lot

its fun great the explaining is great learn a lot and is good pace to challenge you

Very beneficial!

Overall the python coder camp was a good experience and I learned a lot from it, the tutor was very good an helped when I needed and taught well. I had a good time during the two weeks, and the day was broken up with two small breaks which as a result made the day less overwhelming.

Really fun, but slightly slow at times

I enjoyed this course a lot, highlights for me being doing the rock paper scissors and also the final connect four.

I enjoyed this course a lot, highlights for me being doing the rock paper scissors and also the final connect four. At some points it was quite annoying doing the programming and it not working but I think that was just programming being programming, and it was good when I asked for help and it was sorted out. A couple times in the final project I thought I wasn't going to be able to do it because I thought it needed more complex code which we hadn't done yet, but when I asked for help the tutor helped me and it also made me realise that it was possible to do the code with the stuff we'd learnt. Really enjoyed the course and I'm pretty sure that after all this lockdown stuff ends I'll carry on with funtech doing the programming because my dad suggested it and it was very fun. Thanks a lot especially the tutor for helping me out many times and also for teaching everything :)

Python coder!

This course was so much fun and I learnt everything about the basics of python. I was able to do lots of practical coding as well as learning all of the different concepts. I feel much more confident in python and I can apply these skills while in school.

python coder

our tutor was friendly. it was fun, and challenging.

PyCharm camp

I have found these 2 weeks coding really fun! I have learnt a lot of things and also, I have now made a decent full working game! I have had a lot of fun doing this

FunTech

It was really fun and I learnt a lot about Python during the course.

Course review-FunTech

The course was fun and interesting, and I enjoyed it. We did go slow in the beginning but we got faster and I received useful tips and help when needed.

AMAZING Jonty

these last 10 days have been some of the most fun of my life! This is because of the range of topics we learnt in such a short period of time and how we could actually code a game after just ten days!
As i said this was a great experience and highly recommend it to all of my friends.

An amazing coding camp

I really enjoyed this python camp because I was able to understand all of the concepts that we learned and I was able to create alot of good programs. I was also able to complete all the activities that were given and I was able to make new friends in this camp.

Really good course!

It was fun and I made my FIRST GAME which was harder than expected but worth it!

When i first joined funtech, i didn't know what to expect. When i joined, my tutor was there to help and was really kind. There were a lot of technical problems but funtech were always helping. Afterwards, everything fun and enjoyable and it was a really nice experience.

I have loved fun tech and had so much fun while learning so much. I have learnt soo much and would love to do another course. There has been so much to learn and so many opportunities.

Review Form

I learnt a lot in these past two weeks, and enjoyed all of it very much. The teacher was very friendly and helped me whenever I had trouble understanding things. It became quite challenging towards the end, but that aspect made it more enjoyable, and I got the concepts in the end.

very good

the teacher i had was very helpful and good at explaining

Python

My daughter found this course really engaging and fun. The instructor was very patient and worked to ensure an even pace in the group. She liked creating the games and programmes and sharing her work with the rest of the family.
