Funtech is an exceptional company and personally, I genuinely enjoyed doing the Cybersecurity Hackathon course for several reasons. Not only was the tutor excellent, by helping us out considerably when stuck, but it
was engaging and taught me new skills that enhanced my computer science experience.
1. Learning how to ethically hack was interesting as we were starting to explore the darker side to technology and what to be wary of, e.g viruses and how people can crack your passwords
2. My tutor kept the lesson engaging by ensuring that we all understood the work as well as giving us useful tips and fun facts throughout the week
3. As the course wasn't overly easy or hard, I felt as if we were being challenged enough to learn useful skills from the course but at the same time it wasn't impossible to complete.
4. By learning how to execute commands like nmap, ping, grep, ifconfig, we also learnt how to apply it in real life scenarios and it also meant that we can look out for any weaknesses of the code and any way hackers could potentially hack into.
By the end of this course, I am proud to admit that I have all the skills a hacker would need but I have learnt to use them safely and in legal purposes only. This course will be exponentially useful to me in the future as I begin to learn more about coding and computers and head into the workplace.
Who knows? Maybe one day I will look back and realize that my love for coding stemmed from Funtech?
Having taken several Funtech courses since the age of 9, I believe that the course I have just completed was my favourite as it was not just educational, but fun as well.
The lead tutor deserves credit for managing all the behind the scenes work as well as making my time here enjoyable as well as joining our whole group in several games of cards. (always fun!)

Over the duration of this onerous but edifying and enriching course, our tutor, Dr. D, was extremely engaged, and effervescing with jubilant exultation, with an incandescent, flamboyant passion for the topic. He clearly elucidated the complex subject matters covered by this intriguing programme of study with great delineation, synchronous to the contemporaneous context of the lesson. The undercurrent of this tutorial period was one of intricate instruction and meticulous guidance from an educator with fervent and unbifurcated vision of accomplishment. Some of the areas of cyber-security covered over this week included: Vegan Beef and Hydra. Dr. D was infused with incredulous intellectual devotion and assisted us in the discovery of the espionage of the notorious FunTech Overlords, and of their discreet and inconspicuous recording devices. The lead-tutor at this camp also managed to teach us a Taiwanese card game that transformed into a contest.

it was great

I think this course was fun and educational

Very Technical (in a good way)

In camp we learnt a lot. we did a lot of work. it was fun but still very challenging. omar was very nice and really helped me understand hacking

Absolutely Amazing (and terrifying for parents)

A brilliant course describing computer functions, hacking protocols, navigating computers and finding passwords. Everything about it is AMAZING but does require lots of attention. The teachers that I had (Peter and Omar) were excellent, they were fun but also conveyed information effectively and spoke to you instead of playing the videos. Overall, GREATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

The first day i found to be quite hard and could not keep up. I found that it was very hard. The second day Tuesday we started learning skills that i could understand and i gained a natural rhythm of how to get in a computer, and i became able to to take the passwords off the computer. Wednesday i could decode coded passwords. This is written Thursday and today have learnt how to upload viruses.
Over time this camp became better and i had a lot of fun.

Very Technical (in a good way)

It is a very interesting camp with new ways to learn different ways to use the computer. Hacking is very useful in ways to learn how to protect yourself, and maybe become a professional hacker. It is an educational, interesting, and technical camp.

Interesting

Overall it was enjoyable and very interesting, as it was nothing like what i thought hacking to be like - in a good way. However it wasn't super exciting and mind blowing, which is obviously inevitable as it isn't a sport camp etc. I do recommend

The course was very enjoyable and it taught me a lot about cyber security.

I first joined a bit too late and I had never done coding before so I struggled a LOT, but I had my friends with me witch they helped me and I was getting bored until I found out NOTES. My friend wrote down notes so she wouldn't get stuck (I got stuck a lot) so one day I said to my mum ''can I sit next to Sophie (my friend) so I did and then just like that I could copy from her notes and I loved coding and hacking ips and passwords and accounts became soooo much easier and of 'course' (bad pun :) and the camy was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCH FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO MUCH FUN and the only reason why I gave this place a 4 star is because my don't really do commands they do differently but i still enjoyed it hope you do too bye!!!!! :)

Funtech Cyber Security: Hackathon

The perfect camp if your are interested in hacking. The only problem is that is recommended for relatively young people who may not be able to keep up since the class goes quite fast. But for people who can keep up this is great since the information is delivered efficiently.

Cyber Security Hackathon

It was a really incredible experience, I learnt so much from the basics of linux to hacking a computer through a web-link. Our teacher James was so nice, helpful and incredibly smart . 100/10

Awesome!

i really enjoyed the week, it was very interesting and i learnt a lot

it was awesome

it was a fun camp overall but, it could be helpful in the future. for me it was a really enjoyable course and learning code was fun and interesting at the same time.

it was really informative and i learned a lot

i really enjoyed learning how to use the linux interface and learning or use the various linux commands to hack into various servers and download files off them and create viruses

i enjoyed it very much

enjoyed the course very much, i learnt how to use exploits

Funtech review

i learnt a lot about how to hack and how to use certain programs to do certain actions

its fun

i liked finding out how to crack passwords

It was FUN

It was really fun and I learnt lots!

everything was perfect

[insert perfect emoji here] I LOVED IT i really enjoyed password cracking and basically all of it! (cowsay moo | lolcat is the BEST linux command)

Fun learning experience

I found the course fun, engaging and exciting. I think I have learnt a lot throughout this course, improving my skills. It was a great experience and I would love to do it again! :)

Incredible course, 10/10 would learn again

Over the course of the 5 days that I spent doing Funtech's cybersecurity course, I learnt many useful skills that will help me out greatly in the future. The course was great, but wasn't too difficult thanks to the generous breaktimes and lunchtimes that we had. Would code again!

The course taught a great range of skills useful for ethical hacking, varying from password cracking to how computers communicate and how to intercept files. One of the best features of the course was that there are many different ways of going about the tasks. The tutors were helpful and always knew how to work around any problems. Abul however was very egotistical about his beard and smell. Overall it was a great course to learn the basics of hacking.

it was nice

it was a really nice course but is was frustrating at some times and i am not allowed to put up my hood on a hoody :(

THE END.

Very good would recommend

It was very nice, both tutors were very nice and helpful they helped me with the tasks and explained excellently! The breaks were fun and we played some fun games. I really enjoyed this camp and would recommend it to others!

I'm not really a title man.

Yeah it was good tutors are good course was good. I now can finally get my dads admin password.

I really enjoyed the practical, academic side of this camp. It was complex, stimulating, and the subject material was fascinating. I feel I have learnt a lot over the course of the week that I will be able to take forward with me, both career and school wise, but also about online safety in general. The group size was also perfect for the activity.
Tom was also a really good teacher, and made sure to give us each enough time to finish, and answering all our -occasionally quite random -queries.
the only downside I have was that on the first day, i felt slightly uncomfortable, as there was no ice-breaker to help me connect with the other kids on the course. I think, in future, giving up part of the day just to get to know a bit more about everyone else would be useful. In addition, at times I felt like i really needed to just go outside and take a break rather than being glued to the screen, so possibly during the breaks leaving the room and enforced away-from-the-laptop times would be brilliant.

Overall, however, this was an excellent camp and experience, and I'd very happily return to Funtech and do a different course.

Really intresting

I learned a lot during the week.

hackathon

great camp i liked it i got to learn lots of thing i did not know

Good course for people who have passion for cyber security.

I think the course is very fun. It is filled with very easy to understand topics which we could use. Anything that we didn't understand our tutor would help us.

I would recommend this to other people who would want to go into cyber security.

Loved it

THe course was great and informative, i learned lots!

boring at the beginning but got better

very grindy at the beginning but i learnt a lot and i had fun and was very hard

Excellent

Lots of new stuff learned. My son really enjoyed the week.

I have done 2 Funtech courses in the past and undoubtedly this has been the best camp I have done so far. Some concepts are sometimes difficult to grip but after a while you get used to them. Lewis has been amazing at teaching this topic. I am going to embrace on what I have learnt and use it much more. I enjoyed finding the passwords and getting into the terminals the most. I would happily do another camp again (if I am old enough)

i learned to hack!!!

it was very interesting as i got to learn to hack and it was very indulging and the tutor was very good

it was nice

but to be honest we used a different software that most of us don't use because lets be honest were are all windows users it would have a better rating if we learnt some windows codes but further than that it was cool

Great

It was educational. I learnt about basic commands on the command prompt, how to crack passwords and how to hack into another server. The teacher was very friendly and good at teaching us how to hack. The course was overall very fun.

amazing week and had great time

had an amazing week and it was very educational

amazing use of my holiday

i felt like this course was very educational but i feel like it can get very tiring after a couple days

Really fun and enjoyed it

A great and glorious entity called Toby was in my classroom. He clearly had intellect beyond human capabilities, his power is unmeasured. I am so glad I have been graced with an entity as kind and benevolent as Toby. Toby is clearly the greatest being who has ever lived. For instance, if ask Toby, which I will do now, what his favorite snack is, he replies "beef," clearly Toby is referring to slang word for arguments, and that solving conflict is the only nourishment he needs, what a god.

The course is great and teaches you a lot about hacking in the real world. It is very interesting and there is a lot of amazing things to learn, I definitely recommend this to other younger children who are interested in the world of hacking and coding . It supplies you with all you need and gives you breaks to relax and chill away from the computers and they give you enough time to learn it.

Fantastic experience!

I have learnt so much in the course and now I am now able to hack into computers! Even though the course was quite challenging It was amazing to see the outcome of when I executed a command! I would definitely recommend it for those who are willing to learn how to hack!

Interesting

This course was very interesting and I have learnt a lot . This course has improved my confidence in my computer skills a lot and has challenged me. Overall, it was a very good course!

Cyber Security: Hackathon

A very good course. A lot of content which can be used in the real world which can lead to a job in the real world. It is challenging so it is probably easier if you have done another funtech before this to help you understand some of the concepts.
