The overall course was fun.
There were parts that were a bit boring but when learning something there always is.
I enjoyed making the games the most.
Especially the rock,paper scissors and the end of course games.

FunTech Response
I am really sorry to hear this. I believe you were originally on the Redstone camp, which you didn't enjoy and so we switched you to Python, which again sadly you did not enjoy. We did offer other options, but you wanted to continue on the Python camp.

I am sorry that you did not enjoy the course. However, I have to back our lead supervisor as you were trying to play games during the course that we felt were highly inappropriate.

The camp was alright. I disliked the removal of tokens part. The course however was good. In "Fun typer", the website they use, fun typer is interactive, educational and makes you want to improve your speeds and typing. The younger kids struggle with this though. It is a good camp,fun but one improv
FunTech Response
The reason we use laptops rather than desktops, is because most children work on a laptop. Plus if you can type on a laptop then typing on a desktop is very easy!

Sam and Beatriz were absolutely amazing tutors who made the experience a lot better however the course wasn't for me, the residential was not suitable, the evening activities was underwhelming and it wasn't catered for the older students who wanted to relax at night and not necessarily watch Sponge
FunTech Response
Sorry to hear that the course wasn't for you. We don't often find this, however, wish you had told us earlier in the week as we may have been able to swap you to another course.
The evening activity options were: Scuba, Dodge Ball, Games Night, Movie Night.
For Movie Night, I believe the choice was Cast Away (Older ones), Encanto (Junior Ones).
I appreciate that you wanted to go straight to your room after dinner, however we do think it’s important to either socialise with the others or just chill in the common area.

This course is middling (in my opinion) for a one main reason: the first few days of content were boring. There's no way around, days one and two, and parts of day 3, consisted of copying code of the board and being told things. However, the final two days were excellent, and I had plenty of freedom

Unfortuatly i felt that this course did not manage my expectations for it and i found that the lunch break was way too long and the breaks in between working times were too frequent.
FunTech Response
I hear that you would have spent all your time at the computer, including having a very, very short lunch break so that you can continue with your work.
I am sorry to read that you didn't like to take the breaks. However, it is our policy to ensure everyone takes regular screen breaks.
Two fifteen minute breaks in the morning and afternoon plus one hour for lunch does not seem too excessive.
That said, I hear that you did amazing work!

Course was a bit over complicated, and explaining videos didnt really explain anything.
Tutor was good, also someone hacked me.
FunTech Response
I am sorry you found the course challenging.
We have checked with the tutor and the feedback is that the videos didn't work for you as the content was rather complex and therefore David explained them to you on a more personal level.
With reference to someone hacking you, I believe another student in the class who had take the cybersecurity course previously, was showing you how ncat could be used to access your computer on LAN.
Sadly, I think this course ended up being far too technical which is the aspect I don't think you enjoyed.

I did the touch typing course and have mixed feelings. Pros: The instructors are really nice and make the breaks fun, with Kahoot and other games. Cons: the coursework is tedious at times, with the games getting boring after an hour or so. The sessions feel rather long and get tiresome after a fe
FunTech Response
I am so sorry that you did not enjoy the course.
Touch typing is sadly all about repetition and so we try to make it as game driven as possible, but including tokens, prizes and so on.
However, without repetitive typing there is now way to build touch typing muscle memory.

I would do Funtech again next year but I want a teacher that isn't being silly begging me to get the answers wrong.
FunTech Response
Looking at the class videos, I think the tutor was asking are you definitely sure that you have got the answer correct.
However, next year we'll make sure that the tutor accepts your first answer.

I am sorry you found the days too long and wanted longer breaks, same as your brother.
We do have two 15 minute morning and afternoon breaks and an hour for lunch.
Sadly two 30 minute breaks in the morning and afternoon with an hour and a half for lunch would be a little too much.
Though you could have asked the tutors for a few more shorter 5 minute breaks to make it a better experience.

FunTech Response
You were extremely good at coding and managed to pick-up the concepts quickly.
The tutors did offer you additional extension challenges, which sadly you declined to do, which perhaps resulted in you being bored?
Sorry it didn't meet with your expectations.

FunTech Response
Sorry to hear you found it very tiring. As a standard we take two 15 minute breaks in the morning, two in the afternoon plus an hour for lunch.
However, this course is very technical and so perhaps that made it a lot more intense.

I am sorry that you and your friend had to restart your workspace, however, sadly we cannot control computers crashing especially for the creative courses where lots of elements are added.

the course was pretty fun altogether. what let it down was the reinforcement of some of the skills because i felt like i didn't get enough time to reinforcement some of the skills until near the end of the course.
FunTech Response
I am sorry to hear that you were let down by reinforcement. We checked your daily feedback, and sadly you did not mention anything in there, otherwise we would have organised some additional time for you.
However, after checking with you, I am glad you feel that the reinforcement for the course did happen for you by the end of the course.

However, he told us that you were getting a lot out of the course and so not to change anything.

Sorry to read you found the lesson a little dull, compared to the courses you have completed over the previous three years.
