Java coder part one

The camp was fun and very helpful for me to start learning the basics of Java. The online format worked well and is a good solution for people who cannot travel to the places the camps are held. My teacher was very informative and clear. She also answered all of my questions.

Fun tech unity course

Great course! I loved learning lots about unity and in such a short amount of time! I now know a lot of things in unity and a lot about c#!

My daughter enjoyed Hackathon very much and felt that she learned a lot during that week. The staff and the instructors were wonderful. My only issue with the Barbican location is that they were stuck indoors the entire day due to the lack of outdoor space. It happened to be one of the hottest weeks of the summer too. Ideally, it would have been great to have some proper screen breaks outside, but I understand why that was difficult, given the location.

Tom had a wonderful few days on the Minecraft Coder camp. He enjoyed all the activities, especially the chance to learn a little diving in the pool. He would have liked to do this all week long, as an addition to the coding! He thought the staff were wonderful. For a child that doesn't like being away from home, he enjoyed himself and in the latter part of the week didn't feel the need to call home in the evening. Thank you for making it such a great experience!

My son thoroughly enjoyed the virtual Minecraft Coder camp - I was a little concerned he might get bored and not complete it but instead he couldn’t wait each day to resume and was very disappointed when it ended as he just wanted more! The tutor was excellent, keeping them motivated, engaged and included and I will definitely be booking another virtual camp next school holidays!

My son took part in the 3D Game design virtual week course. He thoroughly enjoyed it, and was engaged throughout and has developed new skills and confidence while completing the course. The course has ignited his imagination and boosted his enthusiasm for game design. The tutor was very supportive, knowledgeable and competent and inspirational. On the final day doing their individual projects it would have been nice for the students to have enough time to show each other their game design to see how others had used the course to develop their own game ideas. Overall, the course was a huge success and I would definitely recommend it to those interested in game design.

We live in California, USA. And we are so happy to have found this camp. My two sons (14 and 11 yrs old) attended Python - Coder Camp and 3D Game Design - Developer during the summer break. And they both loved it. It was an amazing experience for them. They loved the camp, teachers, daily delicious meals, fun activities and of course developing and coding! Everyone was very professional, friendly and helpful. We will be back for camp next summer for sure. Thank you for everything!

Great systems in place for virtual teaching. We had no issues with connection.

My 12 year old daughter found the course useful, but as she was the only girl she did find it a little bit isolating at times. We definitely need more girls getting involved with this as it seems to be a very male dominated activity.

Unfortunately there were a few occasions throughout the course where the usual tutor was absent, through no fault of FunTech, they had to arrange some cover, which they did quickly and kept me informed when having to do so.

Had many calls from FunTech throughout the two week course to see how my daughter was getting on, it was reassuring to know that they wanted her to have a good experience and to see whether there was anything that could be done to improve it.

I have no doubt that we will be booking onto another course in the future.

Excellent week of learning

My son had a great week extending his coding knowledge. I am grateful that Funtech keep extending the syllabus so that he can do a new course each summer.

3D Gaming

My son really enjoyed the 2 week (half day) virtual course on 3D gamning with Unreal engine. Funtech asked for a bit of pre-course prep from me as a parent (checking Broadband speed and computer spec - it was all reasonable to ask and fairly straightforward) and took 2x20mins. We used childcar...

My son really enjoyed the 2 week (half day) virtual course on 3D gamning with Unreal engine. Funtech asked for a bit of pre-course prep from me as a parent (checking Broadband speed and computer spec - it was all reasonable to ask and fairly straightforward) and took 2x20mins.

We used childcare vouchers to pay (you need to pay upfront by card but then we got the money back quickly from Funtech once the childcare scheme had sent their payment). Without this option I do not think we would have booked the course.

Overall I was impressed with how my son remained engaged over the whole two weeks and he seems to have retained a real interest in the subject and learned other transferable skills. The person running the course seems to have struck a good balance between moments where they are all chatting and others when they are progressing the specific course elements.

Overall very good and certainly a good review from my son.

Fun Typer

Thr Fun Typer course content is pretty dry, but the course tutors made it fun for them and my son is now typing so much better, I would definitely recommend this course.

We flew from Frankfurt to London to join the summer day camp! My husband found the fun tech camp on the internet, as we were looking for summer activities for our son. After reading the course introduction, its plan, and the previous reviews, we booked the day camp at Wimbledon King's college school. We stayed in London for 7 days. With the total price, we could have gone to a lux holiday somewhere else lying on the beach. But when we looked back, it was all worthwhile.

Our 7-year-old child has learned a lot about building mod development, switching him from the consumer to a little active developer. It was his first time that he had to use English in an English-speaking country. He has learned also to get along with all others in that environment, without the help of his parents.
The teachers and personnel were very friendly. They picked us up every morning outside at the entrance and walked with the children into the classroom. Because we are not from the UK, they talked to us in advance to see if everything was ok and talked to our son so he would not be upset on the first day. In the classroom, every child has their own desk and a laptop. It was summer, but the building was not so hot like outside. On each desk, there was a ventilator for each child to use.
The teachers are young . The children loved them and were not afraid to ask questions. On the last day, the parents would be allowed to enter in the last hours to see what children have done in the week. We were asked to bring a USB stick so we could download and transfer the bult mod at home. However, here it could have been better, if parents also got on -spot guide or practise on how to install that at home by themselves.
The children also had enough screen lock break and could play outside.
The learning place itself is very safe. No one can enter from outside. The toilettes are not so far away from the classroom. The camp environment is clean and beautiful.
The school location is easy to reach by bus 93 and walk 8 minutes. Alternatively, there are many free parking slots along side the main road or at side road. An Ice cream van was outside of the entrance every day in the late afternoon, just in time for the camp closing

My child is 12 years and really enjoyed the one week course to learn to type properly during the summer.
As parents we were unsure if the course would be boring and our child wouldn't like it but the course was great, the team managed to make typing really fun and challenging at the same time which engaged the children early on.

Funtech you did a great job! Thank you.

A brilliant week

My son left every day brimming with ideas and knew knowledge - this is honestly the most inspired that I've ever seen him!
We will definitely be signing up again next summer.

Best Experience

Would like to thank everyone for an exceptional, amazing, enjoyable week for my daughter. The courses were at the high professional level, very informative and age appropriate. My child felt safe, entertained, the food was Amazing. I would highly recommend the residential camp for your child.

Looking forward coming up

Juan had great time, enjoyed the activities and the atmonphere. He looks forward coming back on the first ocassion he may have. The team was engaged and focussed on the items that matter.

Thank you to the Funtech team.

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!

Thank you FunTech for the amazing courses and instructors!

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.

William loved this course. Tegwen (sp?) was especially understanding of William who I think was the youngest on the course.

Will definitely book again if we have the chance.

Great course

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

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.

Great experience

My 10 year-old had a great time at Tonbridge. The camp was well-organized, with a good mix of classes, fun activities and regular timed- breaks.

A wonderful experience overall.

Very cool

I vey much enjoyed it and the tutor was great :)
