Funtech

The course was really fun! We got to learn how to make games and got an insight to game-making. We made a spaceship shooter game which is very fun. We learned lots of new techniques in python that may help us in our future. Altogether it was a very fun course

End of Course Review

The course was very thorough and went through all of the units in detail. It was tiring, but a very useful course, as I was only beginning Python.

good

the last day is the best as you are free to do what you want. i believe that we should have more time on our own things

Quite fun

It fun and teaches you computer science quite fun would definitely recommend

Review :)

It was quite a fun camp and was organised very well, I liked this one more than the python beginner course. And the Tutor (Matthew or Matt ) was very helpful and I think he explained things quite well.

great course

the course is great for children who have some prior experience of python coding, and has lots of aspects that can be individualised

redstone

Overall I found the corse really good and fun. It was really engaging and i feel i have learnt a lot. i would come back.

this summer camp was amazing!

the mods was brilliant! Wasif was an amazing tutor and taught us all the things that I wanted to know . My favourite day was the animation because it looks brilliant to have animated blocks and items.

Roblox

it was really fun and I enjoyed it a lot although I did get annoyed some of the time we learnt how to do a lot of stuff in Roblox studio

I really enjoyed this course

I really enjoyed this. I liked how we went through everything in detail and it helped me to learn and memorise the different types of codes and functions. Sometimes it went quite slow but the challenges and the end of each topic made it alot more fun and really made me feel like i was learning alot

FunTech Review

It was really fun and I enjoyed it a lot but sometimes it wasn't so fun or something was too tricky. I particularly enjoyed the challenges.

funtech review

really really fun, it was the best

Great course for beginners

The course had a good pace, and wasn't too fast. Sometimes the basics could have been explained a bit faster and there could have been more time taken on the difficult parts, but in the end, everything was covered, and it was fun to complete projects at the end.

It was really good.

It was nice to learn code that is near python. It was more challenging and i did get confused but after it was explained it was better and it was easier.

it was great

it was good but i lost my word and i loved command blocks and ocolater

really fun

it was really good but i think we did a bit too much on logic gates

Its a Brillant coures!

Summary of my thoughts

The whole course was very informative, with the tutors always there to help anyone who was struggling. The tasks were engaging but maybe there could have been more extension tasks to do.

A difficult helpful course

This pygame course was difficult but taught me a lot of meanings and left me with pages of code i can reference back on.

It was an interesting and helpful course in general but felt a bit slow at some points.

FUN

It was great but not the best in the world but FUN

Good course

I liked the course and it was very fun. I thought that the teacher could of gone a bit slower but the noise slowly went down. It was tricky on day one but it got easier over the days. Overall I enjoyed it.

very good

i would give it 4.5 but that does not work. it was fun and i learnt lots:)

it was fun

at first it was slow but it. got better.

roblox studio course

I found that I learn lots in this course about how to make objects and scripting it to do something.

Reveiw

it was very fun and I learned a lot of things and the tutor was very nice but the others students barely ever talked

It was fun.

The camp was really enjoyable, and we learnt a lot of Python. The tutors were very helpful, but still let you do it yourself. I would recommend it.

Review

Easy to follow along even if you are a beginner and enjoyable.

Fun and good result

Very good. I learnt lots and my game result was really good and it was fun. The tutor was very good, but he didn't offer extra lessons which other tutors have.

Lucas Review

i really enjoyed and learnt a lot about python and the game was fun. the only downside was when he was helping someone else and i had to wait for him to finish.

My son had a really good time on the minecraft redstone camp and learnt a lot. He particularly enjoyed applying his skills to make a house full of redstone gadgets. Sometimes both he and I felt that too much content was being presented in a single session - particularly when learning about gates. One thing which could usefully improve the camp would be having a pdf document with some notes to refer back to, both during the course and after it has finished.

From a newbie coder's point of view

"Actually quite fun" - for someone who has no knowledge of coding to one who is adamant he has to get his code correct and play the game he just created. Good fun and 2 weeks pace is just nice to dip into Python for a 12 year old.

Well run course which my daughter enjoyed.

The course provides the attendees with a basic overview of Java, using a procedural programming style.

The course was well run, with a good pace through the week and my daughter enjoyed it a lot and learned about Java. There was some interaction between the participants and the tutor seemed to be friendly and experienced.

My only slight negative comment is that I think the content of the course could be more ambitous given it is 5 days long. It seems quite odd to teach Java and not introduce classes (or in Java 14 records). Java is an object-oriented language and so classes and objects are central to understanding and using it. If the attendees have done any Python, a lot of the content of the course is very familiar, they're just changing syntax so I would think that classes could be introduced gently on day 2 or 3 without overwhelming the students.

All in all though, a good use of my daughter's week which she enjoyed.

I wanted to give it a 3.5- There was not an option. The first day was filled with recapitalisation that I found extremely useful and easy to follow. Over the next days we zoomed through making a basic game, we were ahead of the schedule-however I wished we went a tad slower as I would of liked some of the individual lines explained. Either way I was still after which I am grateful for. In the second week we made our games unique, we were supported by the teacher and had plenty of fun! Overall the one thing that I assume would happen in normal circumstances -that did not happen- was seeing each other... if some of the other students had cameras on , and if we played each others games, I believe it would be even better! Thank you !!!

A very good course with some disruption from others

The course and its contents were very enjoyable, and the tutor was very nice. However, there was some disruption from the other pupils in the first few days (but these will likely vary overall due to the different classmates).

Funtech Java Course 2020

I quite enjoyed it overall, (besides my technical issues and having to use the virtual stuff) and I recommend this course to people who want to learn java (not with the pandemic either), I loved how it was almost a non-virtual course, and how a lot came out of it! It was a great 5 days, and I managed to get most of it done. :D

I enjoyed it a lot!!!!!

This was really fun. I liked learning how to do this and recommend it :)

Python camp - Julia

FunTech was fun and I learnt a lot from Tutor 26(Matt). I liked the fact that we had freedom in what we got to create.

minecraft with mods

this whole weeik was really fun. I didn't just learn how to make mods, I also learnt how to play minecraft and 3d skins. Thank you Omar for your support. It was really fun learning with you.

mincraft with mods

the software used was gliched quite often and with mobs we were restricted with what we could make but otherwise this was great fun

I enjoyed the course because it was so easy and simple to follow while your able to learn a lot at the same time. The smaller simpler projects were the best because you could learn a bit and use all of your programming knowledge you have learnt so far to create them.

One thing that could be improve is that you listen to the teacher talk and watch them explain and then you have time to write the code after that, instead of doing both at the same time, rushing and you then won't learn as much.

I would recommend this course to others who want to learn the basics of python.

At the end of the two weeks you have a fun game that works really well. I made a fully functioning terraria shooter game with music a boss and many other cool things! The course is split into two weeks -week 1 ; hard work understanding and coding the basics of your game. and week 2 ; freedom and more fun in your game. You get more help and your game is really cool! You should definitely take this course if you have some python or programming knowledge/experience.

Review

The course was fun, interactive and we learnt lots. I think you should give slightly longer breaks though. Overall, it was very interesting. Thank you, FunTech and Timmy.

Fun tech

This course is very fun and exciting. Almost everyday you learn something, also you get to make small project. The most fun is the large project at the end.

fun tech

I thought fun tech was really good and it has taught me a lot and I've left the course with lots more knowledge and I think all the things I learnt here will help a lot in school as I used to struggle in coding but now I know a lot

very good

very fun, you learn a lot and the tutors are good

Learnt alot.

At firs

very good and fun

very fun but a little bit slow
(i think i am just a bit fast)

How much I enjoy scratch and fun tech.

I think it was an awesome camp because i learnt so many things that i could not do in the past like create a platformer and recreate pong one of the first computer games ever!!!
I personally think that it was absolutely amazing!

the amazing fun tech review!!!!!

i really liked it. I learned lots of things i did not think i'd ever learn! Apart from the times setting it up at first it was probably the BEST coding lesson (s) i'll ever do :o (no offences other people ,sorry!) thank u annes and all our helpers.

my course

The course was very good and i got alot of stuff done
