Great course for beginners

The course had a good pace, and wasn't too fast. Sometimes the basics could have been explained a bit faster and there could have been more time taken on the difficult parts, but in the end, everything was covered, and it was fun to complete projects at the end.

It was fun.

The camp was really enjoyable, and we learnt a lot of Python. The tutors were very helpful, but still let you do it yourself. I would recommend it.

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.

Python camp - Julia

FunTech was fun and I learnt a lot from Tutor 26(Matt). I liked the fact that we had freedom in what we got to create.

Fun course!

I enjoyed the course because it was so easy and simple to follow while your able to learn a lot at the same time. The smaller simpler projects were the best because you could learn a bit and use all of your programming knowledge you have learnt so far to create them.

One thing that could be improve is that you listen to the teacher talk and watch them explain and then you have time to write the code after that, instead of doing both at the same time, rushing and you then won't learn as much.

I would recommend this course to others who want to learn the basics of python.

Fun tech

This course is very fun and exciting. Almost everyday you learn something, also you get to make small project. The most fun is the large project at the end.

fun tech

I thought fun tech was really good and it has taught me a lot and I've left the course with lots more knowledge and I think all the things I learnt here will help a lot in school as I used to struggle in coding but now I know a lot

very good

very fun, you learn a lot and the tutors are good

Learnt alot.

At firs

very good and fun

very fun but a little bit slow
(i think i am just a bit fast)

Starts off slow then builds up knowledge

The beginning is very slow but as it goes on it graduates and the small projects are the ones which are more beneficiary

funtech evaluation

i really liked how this course went, i learned a lot of new things about coding and python. this course has helped me realize that coding actually isnt that hard.

Funtech review

It was very good and the tutor taught me very well but the course was a bit long

Really fun and enjoyable

FunTech was really fun because I never thought i would like coding but I was proven wrong .

i did the python coding course and i really enjoyed it. It is great if you need a refresh or are a beginner. Everything was explained well and easy to follow. For the first part of the course you learn basic functions and towards the end make your own projects or you can do some of the set challenges. If you want to learn how to program i would recommend this course.

I really enjoyed this Funtech course, but I had high expectations and this did not exceed them. However, I learnt as much in these two weeks that I would otherwise have learnt in a few months. This was achieved by how interactive this course was , and quite surprisingly so as it was online. However, interactive does not mean fun, and this course was not exactly fun. Because that would not be possible. But the end project was. It was a really fun way to end the course, and I really liked this. However, what massively let it down was that I could not view the content myself. This was a big shame, and I think the course would really benefit from that. If that changes, I would heavily recommend this course anytime.

Really sorry but we would not be able to share our curriculum

The group finished the course early and so moved onto more advanced topics.

I liked it a lot!! :)

The camp was fun but sometimes it was a little slow other than that though it was great!! :)

Fun Tech course

I feel i have come a long way this week with computer science. i started out not even being able to even write a print statement but now i can do much more. it has been a good week.

There were times where I didn't quite understand everything but I had so much fun. I loved working on my project but the highlight for me was rock paper scissors. I learnt so much and have loved everything that I have done. Sam was so kind and helped us whenever we needed it. These two weeks were great. I could go on and on and on and on about everything that we have learnt. Thank you everyone from Funtech and Sam!

I had such a great time learning about python, i learnt so much that i did not know. It was always interesting and fun. The groups were a perfect size as they were very small and so it was easy to ask questions. The course was quite quick, we got through it very quickly as it was easy to understand. However I wish that there was more content as there is definitely more to learn about python.

FunTech Response
Wonderful to hear that you enjoyed your time learning about Python and this group was rather advanced and so additional more advanced concepts that were outside of the scope of this course were covered and additional projects given. Yes, definitely more to learn about Python, and our Python Game Course covers object orientation in more detail.

nice

it was really fun at first but then got boring but then since we started developing a end project it got fun again and i ended up loving it. Really want to come back next time and do a different course which will be fun.

good

its good found it difficult, but helpful in general

A lot of tutors!

I loved the course it was very difficult. the thing i don't like is the fact that we had 3 tutors

We are very sorry about this, but sadly we had one tutor whose Internet went down and then the second tutor who was unwell...

Great when I was the one being taught!

I felt that these two weeks were a productive learning experience and I learned quite a lot. I can say with full confidence that the knowledge that I did gain from this course was really helpful.

Python Coding

It was an amazing week, where I was able to learn how to code. By the end I was able to write an impressive code, that I was proud of.

Python coding - very fun!

I didn't know much coding to start with but the course built up my knowledge in an enjoyable and engaging way. Would definitely recommend.

really good!

really good!

Very good

It is a really good place to learn coding at as you learn the exercises and you also get a example before you are set off to do it. You learn brand new things such as strings and also how to code. You also learn interesting things that not every one would know.

Fun Tech Review

This was a fun session but at the beginning and part of the next lesson just setting up on impero which was luckily changed

Firstly, I think that you learn a lot over the two weeks. This includes while loops and for loops as well as parsing and variables. by the end of the course, I was able to create and understand a hangman game. The coarse includes many things that are exciting and that you could use in pretty much any program. The only cons were that it was tedious downloading the software at the beginning and there were many technical difficulties over the first few days. Also, some times when others don't understand everybody has to wait for the teacher to explain to the kid about how it works. Overall it was an enjoyable camp and I am now, I feel like, 20 times better at python than I used to be

before I started this course, I knew a little bit about python. I could program a turtle and print into the console. now, I know everything. the first day was a little concerning, spending 3 hours downloading software but then it became amazing. we were split into groups. the first day, we were in a group of seventeen (FunTech comment | the class size was 12) which was a nightmare. at this time, I am in a group of 9 PEOPLE (which is much better then the original 17). the highlight of the week was making the hangman game. it was really good.

'Exciting course'

I liked the camp ,although I didn't like it at first, but near the end it was really good.

A pretty good week

The week was quite good but it was a bit boring at times. like at the start of the week lots of people had problems with there software and it was quite annoying to wait for them to fix it so we can carry on. but apart from that it was good

Python coder

I think that the python coder is fun and I like the way the course works but the only thing I would have to say is that it took quite a while to get round toe everyone but that's the same with every course I guess

Very interesting experience

The coursework was fun and insightful, the tutor was very nice, and I felt confident to produce my own projects after I had learnt everything. However, sometimes the lessons were disruptive (but it was rare).

Good, fun and I learnt a lot

I liked this course and it was very fun but i would suggest adding a little more to learn because for the last three days we just made our own projects because we had previously finished all their was to learn. I feel that funtech handled the bizarre situation of having everyone do it at home very well, and most technical issues were sorted on the first day. I would recommend this course to 7 - 13 year old, or beginners and it is quite basic python.

my review

they course and teaching was great i went from printing statements to making games but it is not a 5 because at the start it was quite unorganised ans slow to get to the course (E.G: people not having right stuff downloaded because they weren't told how to on their operating system)

Virtual Python Coder Course

I loved this virtual course since it was very exciting and I learned a lot too. I learned about lists, variables and a few algorithms. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking to learn the basics of Python.

Funtech

It was good and informative and I learnt lots of new things.

Fun Tech Review

I enjoyed this week with FunTech. I learnt a lot of new things and used the basics of Python to create games and other interesting programs.
The tutor (Abul) was extremely nice and very helpful and helped make the course enjoyable.

Learning Python with Abul

Great corse I learnt loads. I really enjoyed learning to code with Abul. He was a great teacher and we had a great time talking to him while we learnt to code. We had learnt to make fun games that my family enjoyed playing. I liked trying to explain how the programs to my parents.

Really Enjoyed it!

Had a great time and met loads of now really good friends!

it was fun.

great camp, learnt a lot , tutors give great assistance, videos are fun and easy but need to be faster.

Very good

the course was good, but it wasn't very interactive. The videos sometimes hinder questions, and do not explain the subject in the most efficient way. The overall care and support was very good, and it is very engaging from the breaks to the actual sessions.
