Akein has told me that he has enjoyed his 3D Game Design Course very much, although he experienced a few problems, like his laptop crashing because of 'Unreal Engine', but he has said that he loved it and has lots of fun learning about different elements of 3D Game Design, so I think that overall, he had a brilliant time in the FunTech Course!

3D Coding at Barbican Centre 1st Aug to 5th Aug 2022 - Great fun and staff was very responsible

My daughter Bethan had a great experience at the above course. The instructor (Jamie I think it was) was very patient and had a good balance between discipline and fun. The only feedback I could see was that the waiting /lunch room felt a bit stuffy during that particular week. The lady who's in charge of the registration was top notch ensuring the children's safety. Another feedback towards the end was that the laptop or connection might have been better in that it took my daughter a look time to download her game to the USB sticker and it wasn't properly saved and so she couldn't open it again afterwards.
Thanks.

3Dgame design

Thomas really enjoyed this and learnt a lot. He’s continuing to practise at home over the holidays.
He did find the first day very slow, so maybe the pace needs to move faster or be more practical to improve it.

We had amassed a large amount Childcare Vouchers over the past few years, which we needed to off-load before our children got too old. We were looking for something that might be appropriate for our son, who is 11, loves gaming, and has been looking for a way to level-up from Scratch and Roblox for a while now - and this seemed to fit the bill. He was a bit dubious at first though - "this feels a bit like school" - he said when I dropped him off on the first day, and he had a point. When I picked him up at the end of the first day, he was very tired - it was a long day for him. He told me it was "good", but the last two hours were a bit boring. I started to get a bit worried about the rest of the week. When I picked him up at the end of the second day he was much happier and told me that he didn't get bored at the end of the day this time. On the third day, he was tired, but absolutely buzzing when I picked him up, and he was surprised at how fast the day had gone. By Thursday he was really into it, and was telling me all about the game he was making which had 5 different endings. At the end of Friday we had a show-and-tell, where the children were able to show their parents what they had made, and transfer their projects onto USB thumb-drives to take home with them.

Overall I think our son was very happy with the experience, and he has learnt a lot - I think I will have to try and get him to teach me some Unreal now. Thank you!

Luca enjoyed some parts of this course but struggled with the virtual side. With his dyslexia he struggles remembering the instructions so we ended up taking a photo because the instructions moved on. He also found the constant chattering of some students very off putting, making it hard to concentrate and hear. The instructor was very helpful and Luca gained confidence to use the messaging chat to ask for help over the first few days. Its a hard course but very interesting and Luca said he would have preferred a classroom - at least he tried!
