I am happy my son Nick enjoyed the half-term virtual camp on Minecraft with mods and this is why he is now enrolled in a term time year long course with FunTech. I am not experienced in Minecraft at all, so it is difficult for me to evaluate how much he learned to be able to do mods himself in Minecraft, but I see that he is not doing it. It might be because he is interested more in playing with friends on servers, a topic which was not in the scope of this virtual camp. Nevertheless he had a positive experience and I am happy to keep enrolling him in different FunTech courses.

Happy with the camp

October half-term python camp

* Vidya enjoyed the python classes. * would have preferred two weeks morning only options rather than one week full day option, as it was indeed tiring.

* would have preferred two weeks morning only options rather than one week full day option, as it was indeed tiring. Vidya's sister did the camp like that in the easter 2020. we chose this as we did not have a choice. It was a lot of eyesight and lower back strain for the kids, I personally think.
* teacher was excellent. he made the kids engage in discussion and that helped understanding/revision very well
* overall this was a good course that brought a lot of confidence in coding for Vidya.

Python Game Developer camp

My son enjoyed the camp. Since the group were developing quite quick, the instructor introduced more material at the end of the course. Good experience! Highly recommend it!

Fun camp

The Python coder camp was a very fun experience and was very enjoyable.

PureCoder Level 2 Alexander C

Alex has got his enthusiasm back for coding since the 1:1 sessions started. He is enjoying the sessions and appears to have got his confidence back again.

Python Game Developer

A bit of a slow start as Jamie had already worked with Python. But after initial 2 sessions he found it really good. Worked well doing half a day over 2 weeks worked well.

Amazing Classes

My son loves the classes, the teachers are great and very helpful, highly recommended.

Great Camp

My son enjoyed 2 weeks of the Python coding camp. He found it educational and entertaining and emerged a confident coder by the end of the session.
Thank you

Roblox

My 10 year old enjoyed this course very much. It was structured well and he looked forward to his daily session. He has attention issues and struggles at school, but despite this, managed to engage well with the virtual course and learned a great deal.

We enrolled our son VIR for the Minecraft with mods 2 week summer camp and he enjoyed it so much that we reenrolled him for the next level post that. Not only did he learn a lot but it was a fun experience the entire virtual class. Very well organised and structured and attention was given to details and every child needs.. I remember getting a call back one evening to check on my son Vir as a follow up of what he learnt in class to make sure his query was answered and understanding was clear.
Highly Recommend this camp/class !

Python Coder Camp

Fantastic camp experience. My son really enjoyed the tutor who would stay on the call after camp ended to talk to my son about the challenge tasks. At the end of the course, my son had a real love for Python coding and keen to do more courses. Highly recommend the course.

Excellent

Well structured course with helpful instructor/s. Course is delivered in a age appropriate manner with plenty of opportunity for learning. My son throughly enjoyed the course. I am planning to enrol him for additional courses during Christmas break. Overall I would highly recommend the course...

Minecraft with Mods

My daughter attended the two week Minecraft with Mods program. She absolutely loved it (and didn't mind being the only girl!). It was a great blend of being able to spend time playing Minecraft but also creating new items for the game. She would like to do it again.

Good precursor to GCSE

My son had a very enjoyable week learning python virtually and has been enthused to do coding on his own. Most importantly he did this course just prior to starting an IT GCSE and he feels it has given him a good step up. Great trainer, very good at capturing the children’s attention virtually.

Great virtual python course

Excellent course, very well run and the trainer captured the children’s attention - no easy feat virtually. Content was well thought through and the kids learnt a huge amount. More importantly perhaps my son had a very enjoyable week!

Minecraft Engineering Camp

my son thoroughly enjoyed this camp. In particular, using logic gates and exploring all the features of Redstone. This was the well-designed camp, making each session lots of fun.

Fun and gripping course

My 9 year old thoroughly enjoyed it. The instructor managed to keep things under control while online. My daughter got the attention she needed.

My son loved it

Tyler really enjoyed the course, after the course finished, he even started to design his own games and we played together as a family.
Great, definitely recommended

This python course was amazing and lot of learning. Only negative bit can be it’s a day long course for 5 days, which drains the kids energy level. However during Easter the same course was run as half day course for two weeks, which gives time for them to practice and also not that tiring during the weeks. Otherwise, it’s an amazing crash course to learn the basic python at an introduction level.

My daughter thoroughly enjoyed this course, learning the electronics theory as well as using one of her favourite games. She created a problem solving game for her course peers to 'fix' the electrical issue that was stopping various things from working.
Her course was well laid out and her tutor clear in his instructions.
Great course all round for those who want to learn electronics and maybe a few Minecraft tips too.

I booked my twelve year old onto a half term virtual camp only a couple of days before it started, as our plans had changed suddenly due to Covid restrictions. The software support we got was amazing - Funtech rang us up proactively on the Saturday and made sure we had everything downloaded in order for my son to start on the Monday. My son really enjoyed the course - the excellent tutor kept him interested and challenged and he learnt a useful new skill, Python programming, during half term. Thanks Funtech!

My son has never undertaken a holiday course like this before and absolutely loved it. The small group meant he had just the right balance of contact and interaction with others but allowed him to get on and work independently too.
He was excited to get stuck in and took great pride in showing us the start of his own 3D game at the end of the week.
The FunTech team were brilliant with any questions and concerns we had, and kept him engaged all week.
I can highly recommend the course to anyone. At 13 he is hard to please, but you guys managed it! Thanks

Value for money virtual camp

The tutor was very patient when delivering the minecraft course. Many thanks

3D Game Design

Tibi enjoyed the 3D Game Design virtual camp a lot. He is always excited to learn new things in computer and he hasn't been disappointed. As a FunTech fan, he will be coming back soon. Many thanks to the tutor and FunTech team.

Fantastic, but hard work !

Minecraft with mods

My son had a lot of fun on the minecraft with mods course and is now really enjoying using his new skills to play imaginatively with Minecraft. The course has helped both his creativity and his technical abilities. We wish there was another more advanced course available to learn even more!

Never seen my son so engaged in an ‘academic’ type course. He’s an outdoor kid who prefers to climb trees than play his Xbox. Signed him up to this because I thought he was behind with his general IT skills - he’s definitely not any longer. I thoroughly recommend FunTech and have no doubt my son ...

My son started working on Java coding on Khan academy while in lockdown and asked if he could get a tutor to support him. He has been with funtech before so I signed him up for the 1 week virtual camp. At first, I had doubts he would even bother waking up in the mornings and sitting through the lesson till 5pm. To my surprise, every single day he woke up, ready to go and enjoyed every part of the lesson. The tutor knew how well to engage with the students to keep them motivated. He has been working on his project, which I hope he would reveal soon. I cannot wait for the next camps. It was one of the top highlights of lockdown for him

Python Coder camp experience

My son has enjoyed it very much and said it was really on time and in depth before resuming a term-time at his school.

Zac found the course was interesting to learn a new computer language. He enjoyed it more than C++. He felt that the course was a bit long.

Jamie very much enjoyed the project task towards the end to the week. We have to say a very big thank you to Jamie’s tutor for giving Jamie extra time during the week. That was more than Jamie could have hoped for. Jamie is looking forward to term time now.

My daughter (13 years old) took the Python Coder and then the Python Game Developer, each as two weeks of morning sessions. The two courses complemented each other well in that the Game Developer course picked up where the Coder course left off with minimal repetition.

Learning a programming language can be difficult without an end goal to work to, so it was good that each course culminated in a challenge to build an application. The game she devised during the Game Developer course was impressive - she was really pleased with it and enjoyed explaining how it worked to other people in the family.

Doing each camp as two weeks of half-days suited her because she found the courses quite intense and so was glad of time away from them in the afternoons. She was also impressed with the level of knowledge of the course instructors.

Altogether, the courses have provided her with a firm grounding in the basics of Python with enough knowledge to understand the structure of the language and to write quite complex routines using common commands and variable types..

Minecraft Mods virtual camp

Alexi loved doing the course. It was well organised, the teacher was punctual and it kept my son interested and stimulated for the whole morning. Alexi learned new things and feels more confident as a result. We'd definitely do a similar course if we can find the right fit for us.
Thanks!

Adnan enjoyed his time at virtual camp and learnt new techniques he will apply going forward. Thank you to the funtech team for being promptly available for resolving technical issues when we reported them.

It has been a very good experience for my daughter. At the beginning she found the pace a bit difficult but thanks to the support she caught up with the class. We will have another Virtual class soon.
Hope you could start your courses soon in the actual classes.

My son who is 8 signed up for the 2 week, 3 hour a day virtual coding camp after a couple of taster sessions. I was amazed at his level of engagement and thrilled to see him on line doing something productive and useful, learning skills that will be invaluable. The facilitator was brilliant at keeping a small class happy and engaged and sat still for the most part, for 3 hours, even more amazing when my son finds it very hard to sit still normally thanks very much - Andrea
