Python Coder

My son thoroughly enjoyed the Python Coder virtual camp. Initially he was worried it would not be visually stimulating enough but once he started he loved it. The teacher was very supportive, kind and patient and my son made friends on the camp. Excellent!

Funtech - Python Coder

My son thoroughly enjoyed his time with Funtech! He was always eager and enthusiastic to engage with his instructors and to share all that he was learning with us. I appreciate the dedication of the staff and management of ensuring the best experience for our son. The small groups and instructor to student ratios were ideal for providing the best learning experience. I recommend Funtech without any hesitations. Thank you for helping my child prepare for the future!

Hi
Shreya seems to have enjoyed the camp very much. Although an intensive course, she seems to have enjoyed it, and has learnt some new skills.

Just some feedback-
She has done the course unsupervised by an adult and was prompted to log in at the start of the day. Hence, I haven't really been around to directly witness how she fared and and much of the time she has actually engaged in the course. Not sure if it is possible to give individual feedback, but in her case, it would have been useful to find out how she had been performing/ engaging during the course of the week. Nevertheless, every evening, when asked how her day had been, she always replied 'It was great!"

My 11yr old son really enjoyed the Python Coder course. This course was recommended as he had already worked out Minecraft Redstone engineering himself. Before the course he was intrigued but concerned everyone else would know more than him. I explained this to Funtech and they were very approachable and offered a 10 min taster session so he could see how it worked and maybe talk about Minecraft - which he didn't want to do but was happy about the course. There were only 3 on the course.

A few weeks later, my son did the Python Game Developer course. There were 8 on the course, and straight away, my son felt out of his depth and was lost. I think he was too shy to ask for help, When I explained this to Funtech mid course, they offered 1-2-1 consolidation course in the afternoon, but my son was too lost by then and not interested. Funtech kindly offered Java Coder instead, which my son started, felt a lot better about, still needed a consolidation afternoon and chose not to continue the course.

To conclude, I think the course and opportunity is great. Funtech really did everything they could to make sure my son felt some level of success, growing on from his experience of the Python Coder course. It may be some children are overwhelmed or don't feel they can ask for help, and so it was a shame that I wasn't aware of the potential consolidation lessons until it was too late on the Python Game Developer course, especially as another boy had one, a boy who attended the same Python Coder course as my son. In my son's case, I know he would feel shame if he showed he had fallen behind and so was not equipped confidence-wise to ask for help in front of others. Funtech did tell me that not everyone likes the style/format of teaching, hence their offer of the consolidation lessons which really goes a very long way to hopefully provide an element of success int heir learning.

Great tutor, fantastic programme

My daughter really enjoyed the programming and learnt a lot at the virtual camp. Her tutor was patient and great and providing clarity when required.

Great approach in New Normal

Summer camp is never a easy topic not to mention in this difficult time. But this camp means a lot for my child. Great thanks!

Ammar thoroughly enjoyed the python course and learnt many new topics. He is looking forward to doing another course to build up his current knowledge.

Python Coding

Funtech clearly put a lot of work into translating their camps into online courses. This was a great way for George to develop his love of coding and we were very impressed by the way his progress was carefully monitored to ensure he got the most from the course.

How to have a happy teen!

If you have a computer made kid, this is exactly what you need. He’s got himself up and ready to go every morning with no pressure from us, and he’s really enjoyed everything he’s learnt. I don’t understand any of it but since my son is happy and enjoying his time, what more could I want?

Very Motivating!

Good course, my daughter learnt lots of code for User interface creation.
But did struggle with her slow auditory processing speed and dyslexia on this course as very tutor verbal describe and text type heavy.

Being asked to type certain words in the script or create folders with certain names is also problematic if you don't know how to spell them.

But overall she enjoyed it despite these issues.

My son ,12 years old has attended this camp. He loved it. It was impressive to see him sitting 3:30 hours everyday for two weeks on his own and learning. The trainer was friendly and was very attentive. at the end I can say that we have benefited a lot in improving his confidence to code in python and working through his projects. Now he seems quite eager to take the next step.
I would also like to call out pro-activeness of FunTech team, on our first class we got late to login and Trainer called on my mobile phone to ensure that everything is okay or if we need any help. He also gave individual help through remote learning platform and answered all the questions that my son came up with. As a dad I am happy with my investment.
Moving forward I would also like to see, if FunTech handover some follow up projects to kids and establish some sort of community forum where these children can stay in touch and keep working through those projects in order for them to go for next level camp.

Python course camp

Nikhil liked the python camp. It was easy to follow and broken down to small junks to follow through. Tutor 30 Adam D did a fabulous job and keeping my son focused on the teaching and programming. Thank you Funtech .

From a newbie coder's point of view

"Actually quite fun" - for someone who has no knowledge of coding to one who is adamant he has to get his code correct and play the game he just created. Good fun and 2 weeks pace is just nice to dip into Python for a 12 year old.

Cool and fun way to learn!

Matthew B, the instructor was very well informed on the subject and had immense patience and consideration for the group as well as being about to maintain a decent amount of control over what can otherwise be a very noisy environment . My son said he was the best instructor ever!
