This is our third (virtual) camp with Funtech and we will sign up for more going forwards.

Support excellent too!

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

My son found this virtual camp to be engaging and fun. This is a nice introduction to A.I. - machine learning and provides a good foundation. My son really enjoyed the camp!

Thank you FunTech for the amazing courses and instructors!

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.

I was really impressed at how accessible and helpful support staff were and could hear how patient his teacher was. Top quality course and I’m glad he signed up - we will definitely be doing more!

Thank you funtech!

Great course

My 11-year old daughter really loved this course. Very well organised and very supportive teaching.

Lots of learning took place!

3d game design

i learnt quite a bit of unrealengine logic that the game creator uses such as deleteing only one sise of a negative geometry will crate a one way wall or other things such as funtech providing blueprints for use . the course is overall really fun to participate in so i may go again.

best course i have ever done

the tutor was really helpful and i gained a lot of skill in the game design area. this could start a career

3D Game Design

The tutors are always there to help and can usually fix any problem any of us have ever had (us being our class).

The tutors are always there to help and can usually fix any problem any of us have ever had (us being our class). It can take a bit to get up to speed but is very fun towards the end as you make games that you are genuinely proud of. Unreal engine makes it simple to design and build your dream game or any other game. Would definitely recommend and would happily do it again.

These last 2 weeks have been amazing as usual Funtech is amazing Kevin was really nice and always willing to help and the best course I have taken.

Very cool

I made a chatbot, sentiment analyser, happiness calculator, image classifier, Saul, landmark/location recogniser, entity finder, image describer, etc.

My Review

I enjoyed making food, biomes, animals & etc. it was really fun and I learned a lot.

Very good

This course has been really interesting and fun. We have learnt loads of things about coding and I have really enjoyed it.

funtech was fun

i found the week very interesting at first i found it a bit hard but it got easier as i leant more :)

Great! Would recommend!

Tutors are very good at teaching, and the course is very helpful and inclusive. The only reason it isn't 5 stars is £475 for an online call is quite expensive. otherwise, this was great!

Anoushka's review

The overall course was fun.
There were parts that were a bit boring but when learning something there always is.
I enjoyed making the games the most.
Especially the rock,paper scissors and the end of course games.

Srujana's review

The Funtech was really useful. My favourite bit was today as we were free to code whatever we wanted. Really happy with it. Would definitely recommend to my friends. Thankyou!

It was quite fun and interesting although at the start of the course it was a bit frustrating because I already knew print statements.

My Funtech experience

I personally took part in this course to refresh a few topics and fix up anything I didn't know going into gcse course over the last two weeks funtech has refreshed my understanding on topics while also helping me learn new topics such as sorting codes. Additionally it has also been a fun experience

I liked it

It was amazing and I loved it I also liked getting to make games and publish them

funtech python

I feel more confident using python because the tutor made sure we that all understood what we were doing. I learnt a lot in 2 weeks and enjoyed doing the final project.

Maxi's review

Super good course, I loved it all and it was super interesting and fun, especially when we were creating our maps/games.

FunTech review

This course was very fun and I understood how to code in Python/PyCharm. The tutor was very nice and made the lessons fun.

A good experience

The Funtech Camp was really good. I got to improve my coding skills by doing fun challenges. I found the start of the course really useful to recap on what I had done and it was interesting to learn some different things about coding by using Tkinter. Overall, a very useful 2 weeks.

very very good

Python course review

I really enjoyed this course! I definitely learnt a lot of new things; everything was so clearly explained and demonstrated with a good amount of time given for coding tasks and challenges :)

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.

A brilliant course!

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.

Thank you funtech!

Very professional and engaging course

The course was very professional and challenging.
The level was high and kept our son engaged at all times.
The teacher was patient and attentive to all the students and managed to steer the lesson in the right direction.

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

AI course

Charlie really enjoyed this course. She thought the tutor was very kind and helped her to understand areas and go over things in the break when she didn't quite get something. The Python proficiency is a must to get the most out of this course though as Charlie was a little rusty and found it ...

The Python proficiency is a must to get the most out of this course though as Charlie was a little rusty and found it hard when she couldn't remember.

Luke (who is 14) really enjoyed this course. He spoke highly of the course teacher and said the course was well run and there was a small enough number of students that they got a good amount of individual attention.

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!

Python coder

Archie enjoyed the Python Coder Level 1 course so much he asked to go straight onto the Level 2 course.

He enjoyed it so much, he is now doing it for his GCSEs.

That’s inspiration for you!

An enjoyable and worthwhile week

Our son really enjoyed the virtual camp for a week of coding. He learned loads and had fun too.

The tutor managed to balance the amount of learning without it feeling overwhelming being online all day.

Excellent course

My only issue is the python dev environment. It was a bit intrusive for the tutors to have full control of our home computer.

My son as a matter of principle and his age doesn’t have his own computer so has to use mine. Other providers use a virtual environment which has python embedded for similar courses.

My daughter found the Indie Game Developer Camp very interesting and it has inspired her to consider developing further her skills in game design and development. The size of the class was small (3 children). The tutor was excellent! She was knowledgeable, greatly able at passing that knowledge at the level required by the students and made the whole experience fun and enjoyable.

I should also add that the technical support was, as usual, pro-active and very helpful whether in the computer set up stage or during the camp period.

Thank you ever so much to the Funtech Team for making the camp such as a valuable and positive experience for my daughter.
