The course was fun and interactive but at times felt a bit like a school lesson and felt a bit slow over all I felt like I learnt a lot and I liked the scheduled 15 minute breaks to let us relax and ease stress if you need help just ask and they will trouble shoot and teach you the problem and fix it. A solid 4 stars.

Excellent !

Great experience for kids interested in Minecraft

This was a very enjoyable course for my son, 7. He is interested in how things work and had a lot of fun with the other kids building mods. He loved the tutor, found him to be very helpful.

A creative and engaging week.

python coder

Aaron had an excellent time and said python was made easy by all the friendly staff

He enjoyed so much that he is currently doing another one!

A good experience overall of the Roblox - Game Developer camp

He found his tutors fun and enjoyed the structure of the day. There were good break periods, however, from Weds - Friday the space they had to run around in after lunch was restricted which meant they spent more time on screens than they should have.
Finally, I think given the cost of the course that a USB should be given to children, it is just a small token, but takes the pressure of having to remember and ensures that children get to take their work home.

Daytime Camp Roblox Game Developer Monday 8th August to Friday 12th August 2022

My daughter Eirinn (11) did the Daytime Camp Roblox Game Developer course in August. I asked her what she thought of it and she said, "It was really cool. I learned a lot of stuff that I didn't know before. The instructors were very kind and helpful and explained things very well. I liked everything Dad". We travelled over from Northern Ireland for this and rolled it into a little Father and Daughter bonding holiday in London. Money well spent.

We would certainly consider signing her up for another one next year, although I'd like to see FunTech consider offering camps like this in Northern Ireland and the Republic.

It was really fun and I made lots of friends there. Also I learned how to beat Minecraft.

I cannot speak highly enough about FunTech. What an absolutely awesome company that helps children and teens with coding and tech.

They have a range of courses (although you have to book early) that I wish I had when I was younger. But my ten year old daughter joined for a two week's session on 3D Game Designing using Unreal Engine over the summer and she loved it.

She has been learning python coding since she was six so it was nice for her to do something different. And even though she had a wobble in the middle of the course, the company was absolutely fantastic and supported her with some one to one private lessons to get her to the end.

My daughter wrote: "To Connor. Thank you for giving me 1 to 1s to help me understand Unreal Engine. I really appreciate it. I am really happy with the end result of my game and I am hoping to add many more levels and upgrade my current ones to make my game way more interesting."

@Sheineez Barber I applaud you for setting up such an awesome company and excellent customer service.

As a result, I have shared with many friends and I will book Georgie onto her next course soon and every year from here on. 10 out of 10...

I couldn't recommend this company highly enough.

We were so grateful that my son Krish got the opportunity to experience the residential camp at Tonbridge - Hackathon Cybersecurity.

The venue is stunning and it is a wonderful experience to learn in such a beautiful setting. Krish has been a student of term time classes with Funtech for a number of years.

I can truly say that Funtech is more than a corporate entity, everyone, all the staff, from the helpers to the Founder Sheineez genuinely care for the children and it is very refreshing to see and exceptionally reassuring as a parent. I could leave Krish with the confidence and full faith that he will be safe and engaged during his week long stay at Hackathon.

Krish was excited by what he learnt coupled with the confidence he gained from making new friends. I would love Krish to attend more camps and my only regret is we did not send him sooner!

Thank you Funtech!

My son is generally a pretty happy and enthusiastic kid. He is also autistic and dyspraxic so I am always a bit anxious trying something new. I needn’t have worried for a second.

Everything about the FunTech holiday club was absolutely superb, from the Fasttrack registration that let me give the team a heads up about what accommodations would make the experience better for my son, through to the drop off and the set up. I have never seen him as happy.

We will definitely be back!
Thank You

Fun and educational with great tutor support

Felix had a brilliant time on the Minecraft Mod course. He'd never done anything like this before and we were a bit worried that it would be too much for him or not engaging enough to keep him seated but he was up at the crack of dawn every morning raring to go.

The course was well structured, age appropriate, and when things got a bit confusing his tutor was quick to reassure and help. When he accidentally deleted everything he'd created his tutor went above and beyond to recover his work for him which was much appreciated.

Felix learnt a lot, gained new confidence in creating his own characters, blocks and objects in Minecraft and has been using all his screen time since making more.

Many thanks for a great couple of weeks.

My son enjoyed his week long residential camp with Funtech at Tonbridge. He learned a lot and from my perspective the camp was very well organised. While it's not Funtech's fault that some children are disruptive to the point of impacting negatively other participants' experience, nevertheless Funtech staff should be trained to deal with such situations. My son said there was virtually no discipline, and one particular child's behaviour was completely out of order to the point of extremely inappropriate, yet he was allowed to carry on like that through out the week. This would be the main area of improvement I would recommend.

Amazing

My son had a great time at the Python camp. He learned a lot and wishes to continue at the next occasion. Tonbridge school is an amazing place to stay and the accommodation and the food were good, he said. The teachers and staff are qualified and pay attention to any boys’ needs. Thank you to all.

Roblox Camp

My son really enjoyed his time and by the end of the week he had designed his own game. I would definitely recommend.

Amazing

I really enjoyed it and definitely recommend this course to those of all ages, and will surely be garuanteed a great experience.

very good

the course was very good, the teacher was very helpful and I learned a lot.

It was fun

I managed to learn a lot of machine learning that i have never learnt

This camp was great, we were using Google Colab to code our very own AI machines which could detect lots of things, like the tone of a sentence or whether people in a picture looked happy or sad. Google Colab is really easy to access, so you didn't need to download anything if you were taking the virtual course. At first we were just doing a Python recap, then we moved onto some really exciting things like neural networks and face/image detection. The teachers were very understanding and patient, they explain all the details of the code if you don't really understand, as it took me a few tries to get things right. Would definitely revisit - 5/5

FunTech Review

The final few days is the best part about the entire course as we get to create our own projects and the days go much quicker than they do normally. Also the tutor was very nice and very helpful especially when we needed help or were stuck on something. I really enjoyed the course overall.

AI Course

I learnt a lot about AI during this camp, and how it works. It would have been useful to go into more depth with a few topics rather than covering all of them briefly.

AI Machine Learning

I understand now and I have learnt a lot. It was well organised.

Funtech Course Review.

I have learnt many new things about Unreal Engine. I learned how to make moving floors and today we are making our own obstacle courses. I think I will do one of these courses again as I really enjoy this.

It's very fun but it has some consequences

This camp was so fun! In the first week, it was a bit slow and I had so many problems but all were solved and I'm so happy that I finally completed my game! There are some things you could improve but overall, it was awesome!

Great java course

learnt a lot for something new, definitely more than i would in school. The teacher was great and was always ready to help with our errors. :)

Love the course not quite the site used to host classes
It’s hot and stuffy and not suitable for kids with allergies . Although I was assured there will be fans in the room and windows and doors opened for ventilation. It’s not the case. The door was open but the classroom was stuffy and super hot.

We were affected by the rail strike the week my child had the course . There was no provision for on line learning for him. That was poor support especially when we have just gone through more than two years of pandemic - I would have thought fun tech of all places would have the flexibility.

On the plus points - staff members were courteous and my son seemed to have enjoyed it.

Very good.

It was very fun. I learnt a lot about the unreal engine. How everything works and I understood blueprints way better. As the days went on it got more interesting, because I knew more about the engine.

3d game desighn

Amazing course, loads of fun

I had a great time when doing this course, i learnt loads and got familiar with using unreal engine

I really liked the python course residential
I got a single room and it was small but very nice, and there is a games room close to mine that we could go in during free time at the residential building that had a TV and table tennis in. The tutors put on just dance one night and it was fun
The food is good too. For breakfast there was bacon, toast, egg, and for lunch and dinner there was lasanga, pasta, pizza and more
The course was really informative also- I have not learnt python before but now I am pretty good at the basics and have a good understanding
Overall, I would definitely reccomend!

I would definitely come again.

I arrived on Monday, not knowing a thing about python. But the Funtech lessons were simple and informative and I quickly learnt more info, day by day. The staff (Robin and Beatriz) were helpful when we needed support and the lunches were good. I would definitely come again.
