This is a very good camp and i have learn a lot of things. Hacking is really fun especially learning with my peers. I have made many friendships and they have made this camp even better. Learning hacking teaches me a lot of things about all the commands that you can use.

Hey FunTech! This has been an amazing week from being the only girl in my class to having loads of friends in the span of 5 days. The staff/instructors/teachers have been amazing, they are very kind and helpful, giving you advice whenever you need it. 3D Game Design has been an amazing course wit...

I learnt new and interesting skill. But I think we should move from section to section more quickly. Also the computers worked fine apart from a crash every now and again
FunTech Response
The challenge we have is that the entire class has to move at the same pace, however, those that finish early are given extension exercises to stretch their knowledge.
Sadly, the computers do crash if too many items are added - but that is a learning experience to balance how many items you can add based on the memory.
The laptops that are provided for this course are high spec with large amounts of memory, however... add to much and they will still crash!

My experience was incredible and the tutors were helping me with all of my laptop issues but my experience was ruined by one person, George.
FunTech Response
Very occasionally, we have a student for whom the course is not right. We did speak to the parents and then gave him another day to improve his behaviour. However, when that didn't happen he didn't return for the third day.
I am sorry that this ruined your experience, but we have to give the children a chance.
This course has high spec laptops, however, adding so many elements to your game, sadly will make it crash.
But am happy to read you had a fun time at FunTech.

i found the length a day a little long but i got a lot done and i had a good time i learnt a great amount i think that the teachers were great i had a good time but some times the teachers werent as knowlegable as i would hope i think overall good but not amazing as it says in the title
FunTech Response
I am extremely sorry to hear that you didn't think our teachers were not as knowledgeable as you would have like. However, looking at the lesson, tutor and your daily feedback, I think you were asking for aspects that were outside of the scope of the course.
We are going to look at exploring the next level of this course which will cover the concepts that you would have liked to have covered in this course.
Glad to see that you you did a lot and learn a great amount.

it was sooooooooooooooooooo good and i loved the mods we made i really liked that we made mobs and biomes (now i know why you call it FUNtech.
but i am really annoyed that i had to reset everything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! except for that it was great :) :)
FunTech Response
Well firstly I am glad you loved the course.
Sadly, adding so many elements to your game, will make it crash and therefore you were asked to reset your game.
Had we not asked you to do that, I think you would have had more problems going forward. Sorry.

Alright, get ready for an essay.
I've done funtech 3 times, and out of all of those times, 3D game design was the most fun. It was engaging, fun, and I made some friends. I enjoyed alot learning how to make 3D games using unreal engine. I had an amazing time and I loved the pack lunches the most :)

I would like to say thank you to my teacher Jamie as he coped very well with the crazy person in the class who didn't do any work and messed around too much. Jamie helped me learn how to use Unreal Game Designs and explained the things that didn't work.
FunTech Response
I am sorry for the more challenging student in your class.
We did have several words with the family, however, sadly they were unable to cater for him, but I feel that Jamie and the Lead at the location handled this well and ensured the rest of the group were not interrupted by this.
I am happy to hear that you Jamie supported you in learning how to design in Unreal Game Engine.

FunTech Response
I believe the days were a little too long for you and you wanted to move at a faster pace, though I hope the extension exercises helped stretch your knowledge further.
Sadly in a group we have to go at a specific pace which ensure the whole group understand.
However, I am pleased to hear you enjoyed it, had lots of fun and learnt a lot!

It was really intuitive and interesting however sometimes the lessons were really slow and boring
FunTech Response
I can see from the teacher feedback, that you really want to dive deep and have lots of hands-on activities. Sadly, for you to be able to do that you have the learning elements.
That said I am so pleased you learnt much more than you thought you would.

I enjoyed it quite a bit, though for me it was very difficult to understand all the concepts (but that was not Funtech's fault, since I was not as experienced in Python as I ought to have been before doing this course). It was enjoyable, and very funny at times :)

I enjoyed the course but I didnt like how I had to give a review about it everyday.
FunTech Response
These were not reviews, but feedback of how your session went, which we collect from every student.
We do this so that if you tell us you have not understood something, we can either bring you in for a prep or cover the concept again the next day.
Sorry you didn't enjoy writing them, but it's an excellent way to ensure we are doing our job and you are learning :)

It was a bit boring at first but the second week was better.
FunTech Response
As you have done 3 years of term time with FunTech PureCoder Level 1, 2 & 3 and this is your 11th camp with FunTech, your Coding & Tech skills I know are exceptional.
Therefore, the first week which covers the fundamental constructs and logic, will have been extremely easy for you.
However, glad to hear you learnt more advanced Java specific topics in the second week :)
See you again in September!

The course was really fun and I learnt so much. The only thing that would make it better was if we moved at a faster pace because we had to make sure everyone fully understood the topic before moving on which was understandable but a bit annoying so maybe if there were just more extension project...

Thank you for your suggestion and we shall definitely explore this with our development team.

I loved this camp, and I would strongly recommend it. You learn all kinds of skills while building a game as well. One drawback I experienced was multiple crashes because unreal engine is very hard on computers as it involves a lot of data. Try and make sure to have excess storage.

I am sorry you found the class loud, sadly, this group was exceptionally loud and over excited about Roblox.
