pros: great teacher (very patient) interesting topic, and lots of linux skills learnt.
cons: annoying kids in the class and in the break room , needed more managing.(2 break rooms) Computers could be ridiculously slow at times, otherwise the course was great.
FunTech Response
We have a mix of children in the group, some who were super excited, who I think you are referring to.
When running various programs especially for hacking, these can take a while to run through to find the correct code.
Glad you found it an interesting topic.

The camp was super fun.
The tutorial videos were a bit lagy though and for the metasploit exercises it didn't specify what we had to do which made our teacher very confused and frustrated. Overall great camp.
FunTech Response
The video's may have lagged due to the internet connect at the time.
Sorry about the metasplot exercise, I shall pass this onto our development team to check.
Glad to hear hear you thought that overall the camp was great!

During these five days of coding, I learnt many different things. At first, I wondered what I would do with print("Hello World!") but I soon realised how many different possibilities there are to coding, other than games. The teachers were quite fun but I can still speedrun champion island faster...

The course was good. I learned a lot a lot on the course. However it was quite intense, even though there were several breaks, I felt like the day was very long and only a half an hour break to run around was not enough. However the course was defiantly worth it in the end for my final project.
FunTech Response
Our courses are packed full of learning.
We do have two 15 minute screen breaks in the morning and afternoon and then an hour for lunch.
Lunch we allow 30 minutes to have your lunch and therefore only have half an hour for activities, sadly we would not be able to increase this further.
Glad to read that you thought the course was definitely worth it!

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.

i found the length a day a little long but i got a lot done and i had a good time i learnt a great amount i think that the teachers were great i had a good time but some times the teachers werent as knowlegable as i would hope i think overall good but not amazing as it says in the title
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.

it was sooooooooooooooooooo good and i loved the mods we made i really liked that we made mobs and biomes (now i know why you call it FUNtech.
but i am really annoyed that i had to reset everything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! except for that it was great :) :)
FunTech Response
Well firstly I am glad you loved the course.
Sadly, adding so many elements to your game, will make it crash and therefore you were asked to reset your game.
Had we not asked you to do that, I think you would have had more problems going forward. Sorry.
