This was a really good course, we learned all about comparators, repeaters and all the things about Redstone that I didn't know about before. It was really fun! We also got to play on one of our participants realms and that was really fun! I recommend it to all who play Minecraft! I also now know how to do a lot of commands in a command block! It was very enjoyable!

epicly okay

it was good but maybe a bit of tweeking could make it a 5 star

Good course, enjoyable and was very useful

The course was fun, useful and has helped me learn most of the things I will need for GCSE computing. Since most of it revolves around python code. This has given me a large boost ahead. It was fun and wasn't too complicated. I also now have resources to refer back to when studying or trying to f...

Overall Very Fun, enjoyed it a lot.

I liked it a lot and enjoyed it a lot, and it was really fun. I know a lot more from when i first started to the end.

callum's review

When i first joined funtech, i didn't know what to expect. When i joined, my tutor was there to help and was really kind. There were a lot of technical problems but funtech were always helping. Afterwards, everything fun and enjoyable and it was a really nice experience.

It was enjoyable

It was very enjoyable and i would do it again. My teacher was nice and its very fun! Highly recommend! Though would of liked a bit more coding in the course!

my favourite thing was Obby and i loved the whole roblox course

Great Introduction to Unreal!

This well structured course was very good for teaching me the basics of Unreal and giving a great base understanding of the engine so I can carry on creating and learning on it. The course is suited for people who are new to programming which is great but bare in mind if you do other programming languages, you might find some parts easier then others. Overall a good course and I found that asking questions is very good to enjoy the course more and getting more comfortable with unreal. Funtech listen to feedback given by the students, which is another great addition to course as the course is constantly improving.

The 3D game design course is really fun, and doesn't take up too much time. since we only do 3 hours a day ( for 2 weeks of working days) the sessions are pretty relaxed and i don't feel bored throughout the lesson. I personally think that it would be impossible to learn unreal engine without a tutor ; there was so much detail that even now there are still thing i don't know! the tutors are really nice, and if you ever have any issues with your group. or your stuck. The tutors will always do their best to support you. I highly recommend this course because i will remember this knowledge for ever!

Very Fun!

This camp was really enjoyable and fun to do. Doing it online was interesting and I really enjoyed it. The tutor will always help you if your stuck and they are really nice. I would recommend this course for ages 9-14.

Funtech camp experiance

I enjoyed this course alot and felt that I learned alot of cool new aspects of programming in unreal engine, from scripting to creating awesome new landscapes and simple side scroller games. I really appreciate all the work our teacher put in to help us learn.

Fun and Educational

I thought that this course was very educational and taught me a lot about how to use Unreal Engine. At times the lesson would move a bit slow but then pick up its pace again. Other than that the course was overall fun and enjoyable.

Python coder

Very happy with the camp. We would consider a term-time coding course online.

4 stars

so today we did some fun lessones
so i had fun :)
:)

My funtech week

funtech this week was amazing. I learnt so much more on redstone. awesome course structure and next time include observers. good luck in future!

i cannot think of a title

I liked the course a lot .I learnt a LOT of things including learning how to make our OWN game!

Advanced Python

I found this course challenging. However, it was explained well by the tutor and I usually found it enjoyable. However, at times, it could become a little boring and repetitive. However, I enjoyed a lot and would do it again if I had not done it before.

Fun and interesting

sometimes it gets a bit too long but very interesting and fun. I had a really good time.

Great! good teacher as well

It was very interesting and I was taught so many new things

great

I had fun and learned a lot of things

quite good

I liked the cource but through out there were a few technical difficulties.

My son enjoyed the virtual camp, but he is not using anything he learned

I am happy my son Nick enjoyed the half-term virtual camp on Minecraft with mods and this is why he is now enrolled in a term time year long course with FunTech. I am not experienced in Minecraft at all, so it is difficult for me to evaluate how much he learned to be able to do mods himself in Minecraft, but I see that he is not doing it. It might be because he is interested more in playing with friends on servers, a topic which was not in the scope of this virtual camp. Nevertheless he had a positive experience and I am happy to keep enrolling him in different FunTech courses.

Minecraft Engineering Course

Happy with the camp

Python Game Developer

A bit of a slow start as Jamie had already worked with Python. But after initial 2 sessions he found it really good. Worked well doing half a day over 2 weeks worked well.

I thought it would be boring at the start but paul was really nice and equal to everyone

I think it was really good and i probably will do it again

3D Game Design October Half Term

Made me very interested in 3D game design using Unreal Engine. I really enjoy designing the maps and I found Lewis's help very useful. I will have spent 30 hours on my work. I really enjoyed doing the functions on blueprints.

jamies mincraft mod review

very nice but acasionly could help was slow

Python coding camp

it was very helpful to learn python and I believe it was taught very well as I understand all of it

3D Game Design Review. It was very good and I have learnt a lot.

The course was amazing and the teacher (Matthew) was very good as well.
I have learnt a lot over this week.

Oliver's Review

I really, really enjoyed this course I could not have wished for more. The only thing was that the software took up a lot of storage. But if you were interested and you had a good computer I would highly recommend it.

my review

I think i lernt a lot
and it would be good
for people who are not
good at comands
and redstonne.


eathen was a great teatcher!

amazing!

i had i very fun time learning how to the commnands and stuff!!!!!!!!!!

cool

i loved all the fun stuff i lernd and all the frends i made!!

my FunTech

it was really fun and i learnt so many new things in coding i loved the lessons! Sometimes it was hard but i did it!

Excellent Course

I really enjoyed the course and enjoyed making the game, the tutors were really good especially Joe. I would highly recommend the course to people with a basic understanding of code (But you don't need experience with the game engine).

Fun

The whole camp was an amazing experience and I learnt a lot of things and I can confidently say I am better than before. it was very fun and enjoyable with a mix of challenges and games and my favourite part was doing servers together,

Amazing Camp

An amazing summer camp getting the best redstone out of anyone. I highly recommend this camp to anyone reading this. Two weeks ago, i didn't have a clue about redstone and could hardly keep up with the tutorials but now redstone flows though my builds.

Cool

I would do it again I learned a lot and it was fun maybe in the future you should do a specific java minecraft hacking course

Overall great

My experience has taught me a lot about how Redstone Engineering works and how to use it in a Minecraft world

Thanks to everybody for making this camp happen!

end of course review

it was utterly amazing and the teachers have worked very hard to get us onto the level we are on.



Thank you

Very useful

Got my 12 year old daughter enrolled in a 2 week "online camp" for Java coding, after much of deliberation.
Pleased to say - she made the most of it and has found it very useful !
Definitely recommend it !!!

My 11yr old son really enjoyed the Python Coder course. This course was recommended as he had already worked out Minecraft Redstone engineering himself. Before the course he was intrigued but concerned everyone else would know more than him. I explained this to Funtech and they were very approachable and offered a 10 min taster session so he could see how it worked and maybe talk about Minecraft - which he didn't want to do but was happy about the course. There were only 3 on the course.

A few weeks later, my son did the Python Game Developer course. There were 8 on the course, and straight away, my son felt out of his depth and was lost. I think he was too shy to ask for help, When I explained this to Funtech mid course, they offered 1-2-1 consolidation course in the afternoon, but my son was too lost by then and not interested. Funtech kindly offered Java Coder instead, which my son started, felt a lot better about, still needed a consolidation afternoon and chose not to continue the course.

To conclude, I think the course and opportunity is great. Funtech really did everything they could to make sure my son felt some level of success, growing on from his experience of the Python Coder course. It may be some children are overwhelmed or don't feel they can ask for help, and so it was a shame that I wasn't aware of the potential consolidation lessons until it was too late on the Python Game Developer course, especially as another boy had one, a boy who attended the same Python Coder course as my son. In my son's case, I know he would feel shame if he showed he had fallen behind and so was not equipped confidence-wise to ask for help in front of others. Funtech did tell me that not everyone likes the style/format of teaching, hence their offer of the consolidation lessons which really goes a very long way to hopefully provide an element of success int heir learning.

The course was overall quite good because it taught many parts of python and all in an entertaining way. These included allowing for customization for the enemies and ships as well as adding functions not included in the standard game. This created a game that felt like your own game and not just one created from instructions.

The experience was nice as the teacher was ready to help and everyone was mostly doing the same things.

Funtech Python coder

The majority of the course was good and I learnt a lot from it. However, there were a lot of applications to install and some took a long time to install. I enjoyed creating my own sprites and sounds and the course was easy to follow.

Fun , Interesting and challenging

The course has been both exciting and suprising. I cannot believe the fun i had. the teacher really payed attention to all of us equally.

The course has been both exciting and suprising. I cannot believe the fun i had. the teacher really payed attention to all of us equally. I find it very amusing that all of the things we did can be done with scratch. It was very exciting getting to work with scratch. and it's very nice knowing that other people are new to this too. I hope that everyone will see this thing I see about the course.
