My 14 year old son has done three courses over the summer. He also did Python Coding and Python Game Developer. He said this one (3D Game Design) was the most fun. All of them have kept him fully occupied and he has enjoyed them and learnt from them. We encountered a problem with this one (our fault, not Funtech's) in that my son's laptop was not good enough to download the software and so we swapped him to our main computer. The support and contact from the Funtech team was very helpful, prompt and efficient.

MY 14 year old son said this was "good" and when I asked if he had learnt anything he said "yes". He didn't complain about getting up in the morning to do the course and it kept him fully occupied and so taking all this into consideration I am happy. He did honestly seem to enjoy it. My husband didn't seem to encounter any problems setting the course up and working through the checklist and as with a previous course FunTech ensured we had worked through the checklist before the start date to save time.

My 12 and 9 year old respectively attended a x2 week course, of half days, respectively learning python and scratch. They both already had a basic grounds in scratch, but the eldest had never tried python before.

They both absolutely loved the courses and were enthused to carry on beyond the lesson times. The tutors were fantastic, explaining key concepts and the fundamentals of development at a pace that kept the kids engaged. The example applications were simple, yet instructional and entertaining.

Overall the kids loved it. Half days worked really well and they absolutely want to continue, on future courses.

I found the Funtech website easy to navigate and the instructions on pre-reqs and installation clear. Tutors were awesome (thanks esp go to them); patient and knowledgeable, friendly and both my kids really enjoyed the help, support and guidance.

Would definitely recommend and will definitely be signing the kids up for future virtual and f2f courses.

What a great course. It took me a while to sign my 11 year old up for this course, as I wasn't sure if he would enjoy it or would keep the interest all week. So pleased I did - he loved it!! He would show off his progress in the regular breaks and the teaching was engaging the whole time. I would thoroughly recommend. If you're thinking about signing up your child - do it - they'll love it.

Two weeks of Scratch

Our son Arthur has just completed two weeks of Scratch, he was just on the wrong side of the age recommendations for the course but as his brother was doing a course and he didn't want to miss out we approached FunTech to see if it was possible.

Our son Arthur has just completed two weeks of Scratch, he was just on the wrong side of the age recommendations for the course but as his brother was doing a course and he didn't want to miss out we approached FunTech to see if it was possible. As with any request we've had with them they were very supportive and confident that one way or another he would be able to do the course.

When it came down to the course he did struggle a bit to start with, not with the content but with his confidence in asking for help which he struggled with as he can be quite shy. FunTech picked up on this immediately and were in constant contact to ensure Arthur didn't get overwhelmed. At the start of the second week he had a second wobble and after discussions they switch Arthur over to 1-2-1 sessions, after this boy did he fly. Both the tutors he had were fantastic, very knowledgable and patient with all of the kids, stepping in when help was needed, guiding when a few social rules weren't being adhered to.

The fact these courses are delivered virtually is a sign of the current times, however I think even if it wasn't the 'new normal' we wouldn't hesitate to do a virtual course if it was continued to be offered. Two weeks of mornings is just about the perfect amount of time. I think in just about every way FunTech have nailed it. Thank You!

This is the second course out son Adam has taken and he once again had an amazing time! Each day he would proudly show off what he had built, and although I am no expert on Roblox, I couldn't tell the difference between what he had made and what he plays on day to day made by professionals on this platform. I was blown away with what he could now make in the engine. The nicest thing was that his goal now is to take what he has learnt and teach his friends.

Once again FunTech continue to set the bar extremely high with their quality of both course and delivery, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.

After almost 6 months out of a formal classroom setting, this 2 week Roblox game design course was a perfect reintroduction to structured learning for my son. The half day timetable with frequent breaks worked perfectly, so he could use his morning energy to engage in learning something fun, with the afternoons to relax. I really hope Funtech will be able to continue to offer 1-2 week virtual camps with half days.
Many thanks to Ivan and the team for providing such a positive learning experience, which I think will really help my son transition back to school after lockdown.

When I booked it, I thought the course seemed expensive but I do think it was well worth the money. My son was so engaged in designing and making his game and he’s learned a lot about the game designing process.
The children in my son’s group were moving at different rates which left my son with a couple of periods where he was waiting for guidance. Funtech recognised this and involved another tutor so that the kids could all continue to make progress.
The course content was great and the technology worked really well.
I’d highly recommend this course.

Interesting material and inspired pupils

I was very impressed with what I saw of the course. A tremendous amount was covered in five days, and it was definitely interesting enough to keep the pupils engaged and enthusiastic for the whole period. The admin and technical support was also superb.

Very good course

While Eloy was a bit bored the first 2 days, mainly because he already knew the basics, I mentioned it and the tutor gave him some extra tasks so he then started to enjoy it more and on the last week he loved it so much that he closed the door so we didn’t disturb him while he was thinking.

My daughter has learnt a lot in this virtual course and would recommend it. Thank you FunTech team.

She says it was interesting to learn how to program but great fun at the same time, developing her own game. The tutor was very clear and dealt with all questions easily and put the children at ease. She wants to see if there is another course that she can do!

Hi,

Owen loved minecraft with mods, and looked forward to it every day. He feels very empowered to create new things, and really understands how different aspects work. I was playing with him today thinking of how we could build the old 1980's game Asteroids, and he had some good ideas. Thanks for the great camp experience for him.

If there was any constructive feedback it's that there was one day where there was quite a bit of focus on maths which he found tedious, specifically, he didn't feel he learned anything new. Still, we reassured him, it was probably just a day, and the next day he was right back into it.

Excellent

Both enjoyable and educational. Virtual delivery was successful and we would do again.

Python course

Our son loved this course, so well organised with great tutors. He was totally engaged and wants to do more fun tech courses.

scratch coding

It was a fantastic experience for my boy age 8 to start with coding, Perhaps the hrs are a bit long for him and he tended to lose focus at the end of the lesson.

children enjoyed it

good course, nice teachers, patient, knowledgeable.

daughter enjoyed it, very good. Help was good too

Good experience

My son had good learning experience on developing introductory coding skill through the camp. After the camp, he became able to make a game to play and understand how to apply it for the future project. The trainer was very kind and tenacious to take care of my son. Thank you very much.

Very pleased with the course and it will be booking in the next term holidays on different courses offered.

However, the tutor has given her extra time and sessions so she can keep up with the work and a staff member called her everyday to check if she understands and is happy.

My daughter really enjoyed the Scratch virtual camp. She worked through her little projects under the teacher’s guidance and there are enough breaks in between. She is proud to show me everything she did and looking forward to the next lessons. She still loves scratch after the camp is finished and shares her project online with other scratch community members. Highly recommended!

Toby really enjoyed the two week Roblox course and I think it worked well that it was for the few hours on the mornings. He focused really well and I think the tutor was excellent. We also really appreciated that he took the time to give Toby some one to one help before a session after Toby had got behind on the previous day.
The only comment we have is that Toby would have enjoyed more class input as most of the other students had their cameras and microphones off the majority of the time so it was quite an isolated learning experience. He did another virtual course this summer where all the group interacted and did projects in groups together online. You've already addressed this with us however and I totally understand that you cannot require students to turn on cameras and microphones if they are uncomfortable doing so.

My 12 year old son has been learning to code online for a few years now and wanted to go a step further by learning from experts who could fill in the gaps in his knowledge and teach him to apply what he has learnt to real life projects.

Funtech met that need and then some!

I was especially impressed by the communication with parents, the attention they gave to the feedback from the students and the dedication of the tutors.
In my case I got 2 phone calls; one to discuss my son's feedback and another to arrange some extra time to help with his noughts and crosses project, which he really wanted to complete.

Thank you Funtech - we'll be back!

Overall, it was a good decision to enroll our son and have found FunTech to develop the learning of codings for kids. Good job on making it professional and fun way in teaching kids in that age group and keeping them focus and attentive throughout the lesson. And also managing their time keeping.

Well done and will definitely look forward to enroll him for future sessions.

Thank you :)

In view of the current restrictions around the pandemic our son's Funtech camp was cancelled and a virtual camp offered instead. Initially we were unsure this format would work for him, especially after 4 months of remote learning at school, but he absolutely loved it. He was keen to start every day and diligently followed the instructor. He was even offered extra time when he briefly fell behind. We thoroughly recommend Funtech for kids of all abilities!
