Minecraft holiday camp

My son attended a two week minecraft virtual camp and absolutely loved it! Thank you very much

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.

Minecrafts MODS

My 7 son had been asking for MOD classes for quite sometime. We enrolled him to the course, hesitant he would not be completely engaged. To our surprise it was quite the contrary, he thoroughly enjoyed his classes, signing on 10 minutes beforehand to ensure he was online and ready! :) Thanks ...

Thanks to you all for the great idea and concept! Would be great to have a part 2 or different set of MODS for same age group, James wants to join again :)
Keep up the innovation; the future needs you!

Really enjoyed learning how to develop my 3D game

I really enjoyed doing the coding over the Easter break. I did the course with my sister and it was great fun working on our games.
I am looking forward to continuing to practise what I learnt on this course and hopefully doing another course soon.

Fantastic use of time

I really enjoyed doing the coding over the Easter break. I liked that the classes were held in the morning so I could still enjoy my Easter holidays in the afternoon.

Thank you

Samantha had a great time during the two weeks virtual lessons and gain a lot from the coding lessons.

Chiamaka was very patient, engaging, answering all questions and kept Samantha interested for the two weeks!.... which was one of our worries after enrolling Samantha for the class.

There was no need for the worry because Chiamaka was the best teacher for her.

Thank you.

My first virtual camp. I'll be back!

Funtech was very fun learning how to create "redstones" mechanisms and now I can apply those learnings in my own worlds. The teacher was very understanding and helpful throughout the lessons.

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.

Our son loved it

He had a great time, was super proud of his Roblox creation - and all, in all, money well spent. The team are very professional.

My son did the python game developer course with fun tech in the Easter break. The course was laid out and executed well. He thoroughly enjoyed it and learned a lot along the way.

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.

My 8 years old girl Elaine joined the Roblox camp this Easter. It was a very nice and encouraging environment for the kids learning & playing together. Elaine really enjoyed the Easter Camp, and we would definitely join the Summer Camp! One suggestion is, Elaine loves web design as well, like html. Is there any courses at FunTech on web design?

Caring staff

My child enjoyed the programme very much. What impressed me was when my child was late in attending one morning, one of the staff quickly called to check/remind.

I hope the residential camp would reopen soon.

Java Coder

This was an excellent course....this was the first fun tech course that we have done and it won't be the last. The tutor was exceptionally clear and very engaging. We hope to do something similar over the summer.

Virtual Camp

Our second virtual camp. Very nice worth every penny!

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!

Python Course

Hi
Aariz throughly enjoyed his 2 week python course. He became more confident in computer science.

Kind regards

Java coder

Our son has learnt a lot and now he knows what a real scripting is about. He still loves. 3hrs were a lot but doable. It was amazing to see what he was able to do after a week of learning.

Minecraft with Mods

Excellent course with clear instruction and plenty of opportunity for creativity - fun with learning!

Hi,

James really enjoyed the Minecraft course and felt he learnt a lot from it.

I could see that he was engaging really well and focusing on the task at hand. The pace of the course was good and Omar made sure that he had plenty of time to devote to each student.

We had a couple of software issues during the week and these were dealt with very efficiently by Liam.

It would be good if you could send an email to parents at the end of the course with list of the useful links that were put in the chat area during the week. As you can imagine the kids do not bookmark these links and they would be very useful for parents to have.

We weren't convinced our daughter, aged 7, would stay engaged in the sessions but she wanted to do the course after watching her sister doing the course. She doesn't have a long attention span. During (school) home learning we noticed her getting bored and trying to avoid going to her online sessions. She loved her (FunTech) sessions, staying really focused we could hear her answering lots of the questions and creating some really cool mods.

She is really proud of her creations and has sent photos to her friends.

Her tutor was really helpful when the students had problems, answering questions and finding solutions. She's had a brilliant camp - thank you!

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.

We are not locals in UK, but we managed to enrol our kids for the 2 weeks virtual camp. We are living in Asia. The 9am class was perfect for our kids which was 2pm here.
The tech support was great and prompt in solving any problems we had.
Mike was the teacher for the camp. He was excellent and very patient with the kids. He started off with the basic introduction of Minecraft which was good for kids who hasn't played Minecraft before.
Mike always check that all the children have managed to complete the stage before he goes on to the next step.
My son, Tristan was glad that he learnt to create the elevator which was really cool. This course gave him more insight of what other creations he can do.
Tristan is looking forward to have another virtual camp with Funtech.
Thank you so much.

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.

Great course

My son loved the 3D game designer course. He’s 12 and it was just right for him. The tutor guided the children through how to use the software and helped them with anything they got stuck with when designing their own games. The perfect course for creative minds!

Final Day Review

Thank you for a very interesting course and your help in using Unreal Engine.

REVIEW

I enjoyed all the lesson they where fun to do

week

I learned a lot of new things and made a good game i recomend funtech

Very fun and informative

This camp was very fun and I learnt lots of new things about Roblox Studio and Roblox itself. Definitely worth it :)

4.9/5 stars

There are three things i would like to say:

- The course should either include blender or there should be a separate blender course

- We should get more help with making our game

- We should have more time to make our game

But overall the course was great!

reveiw

It was very fun and i really enjoyed it

a good lesson

it was a good 2 week course.the tutor was doing his job helping us all and even showed me how to make turrets so if you would ask me wether i should suggest or not i would because they make you learn something u never knew before

The course was brilliant and I loved every second of it! The tutor was so funny and happy and always answered our questions, he explained things clearly and realised where we went wrong in an instant. Overall it was a very good course, but there was 8 people, so sometimes you had to wait quite a while until the tutor gets to you, but I don't really mind, that's just how it works - I didn't mind waiting. So yeah, it was a superb course and the tutor made it even better!
