We started to learn about this whole "game design" concept and how it works and how to work the software called "unreal" engine , we developed our skills into making a fully fledged game

The final few days is the best part about the entire course as we get to create our own projects and the days go much quicker than they do normally. Also the tutor was very nice and very helpful especially when we needed help or were stuck on something. I really enjoyed the course overall.

Overall, the whole course was really fun, with lots of new things to learn and learning how to use countless types of blueprints, designing objects, creating static meshes, and all of the sorts. One thing I do have to say about it though, is that I encountered a few problems along the way, and my...

Sorry to hear your laptop crashed along the way. I hear it was because you were pushing the software to it's limits.
Glad to hear that it didn't impact your overall experience of learning.

This camp was so fun! In the first week, it was a bit slow and I had so many problems but all were solved and I'm so happy that I finally completed my game! There are some things you could improve but overall, it was awesome!

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 ...
FunTech Response
Sadly the week was extremely hot and so we didn't want the children out in the blazing lunchtime sun. We tried our best by having 1 fan per two students but it was still extremely hot.
There was a slight dip on the last day with the Internet, however, we are at the behest of the schools Internet and thankfully the dip only lasted an hour.
I shall go back and speak to the team at Barbican to see if her game is still on our computer and if so we will send you a copy.
Delighted to hear that she had a great experience and look forward to seeing you again next year.

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.
FunTech Response
This is a common concern for children who have had some experience, but it is extremely important to get all the students on the same page on the first day, before we can start picking up the pace for the remainder of the week.
Am pleased to hear that Thomas really enjoyed the course and learnt alot.

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.

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.

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!

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 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.
