Lovely camp

This camp was very informative and fun, and it had nice, very patient instructors.

Very fun camp with many interesting opportunities to learn

I enjoyed this camp very much. I found that the techniques and skills were very easy to pick up thanks to both the teachers and the interactive slide show that the class went through. I will definitely recommend this to my friends.

HACKATHON

i learnt sooo much valuable knowledge about hecking! ye very good! bogos binted! jma would be proud.. anyway good course. we covered lots of topics from ip scanning to html form attacking and metasploit. the teachers were peak no cap and helped whenever. shout out to joe and vigus lolzers

Hackathon

This was a very informative camp that was quite interesting and gave a lot of insight onto how cybersecurity and hacking works.

Challenging but fun

We moved through the course quickly, but I understood it well and it was explained clearly. We did many challenges, which I found hard but rewarding.

.

I learned a lot and we were able to test what we learned by hacking into servers and trying to find files or cracking passwords

amazing

out ten 9 because fun lesson perfect not to hard but not to easy

five stars

it was amazing overall and I really enjoyed the camp in general it was a ten out of ten. The coach was amazing at teacher and the head ( Yousra ) was also really nice.

The cybersecurity week camp was pretty extensive, complex and very deep. VirtualBox with Kali linux, wireshark, linux skills, a hash function cracking. It exceeded my expectations as a parent. It felt pretty hard for my daughter, as she was completely new to the topic and to linux itself, but even then she liked it and understood quite a lot.
Also, communication during the process was easy and efficient.

very fun

kali is very fun and this course was a great introduction to hacking . also burp is cool

A great learning experience

My son really enjoyed the cyber security hackathon in person camp. He learned a lot and, together with the coding that he also learned from Funtech, he's keen to keep learning and incorporating these skills as part of his career plans.

Summer Camps 2024

I enrolled my son into 2 summer 2024 camps - Python Coder L1 and Hackathon.
He loved them both and had a great time.
He said the teachers were very knowledgeable and lessons were planned well.
He will definitely be back to try more.

Excellent introduction to hacker craft

I'm really pleased with my son's time at the Cyber Security Hackathon camp. Based on the description, I was hoping he'd get a chance to experience some "close to the metal" system administration, and get to know how to use tools like the command line and lower level protocols like http, ftp, etc....

I'm really pleased with my son's time at the Cyber Security Hackathon camp. Based on the description, I was hoping he'd get a chance to experience some "close to the metal" system administration, and get to know how to use tools like the command line and lower level protocols like http, ftp, etc. It sounds like that's exactly what he got. The camp counsellor/teacher was herself an experienced programmer. It sounds she did an excellent job building a rapport with him and getting him to engage with the material.

Previously I have completed 5 Funtech courses this potentially being my last and through my time at Funtech I have learnt so much due to the small dedicated classes and specialist teachers that don't always feel like teachers and more like friends making it seem as if you are having fun with friends whilst you are learning giving you the perfect mix of spending time with a screen and spending time with people a similar ages to you. I originally started my Funtech journey a while before covid when I was completing a day course in scratch then it went to Lego robotics then python we then had covid which gave me a break from coding then I started last year it was my first residential coding course where I was further advancing my python knowledge and now when I am doing the hackathon course I have been able to use similar thinking to allow me to progress quickly through different tasks and for the additional residential activities they are amazing this includes the variety of facilities and equipment that I have access to this then allowing me to form friendships with most of the class plus the knowledge that I have learnt has given me a new way of thinking allowing me to look at computer science as fun not work letting me progress with higher grades in my GCSE's which would be brilliant potentially giving me a life long career in computer science as I am currently interested in going to a-level if not a university masters degree. I would highly recommend sending your child to any Funtech course and I can guarantee that they will enjoy there course activities and much more.

The week was great, interactive and interesting the course goes through the basics as well as some slightly more advanced but simple codes. The tutors help every time you need and are up for any questions you throw at them and keep you entertained throughout the breaks as well as enjoying your time with you.

For the course it is THE BEST course that I've ever done and takes the most complex codes and breaks them down throughout five days.

Funtech overall is great even one evening hosting a gaming tournament for both day and residential students.
Thank you funtech!

THE FUNTECH CAMP IS COOL

The lunches are yummy in my tummy, good activities and the teachers join in as well and we learn lots of coding. Good, Fun and good Teaching.Great camp.

Worthwhile experience

Very good and learnt a lot. Recommend it a lot and cool teachers. The teachers are highly qualified and clever as well as nice. By doing this course you are being taught by geniuses especially Tom. Tom is a very good teaher.
Highly recommended.

I was doing the hackathon course and as someone who has never hacked before I did not know what to expect other than that it would be hard. Even though I had no experience of hacking, Tom and Seb helped me a ton with hacking and always come to my aid with insightful and full responses to my many questions. I also really liked how every hour we get a 15 minute break of social games away from the computer. I really enjoyed playing mafia and splat. I was surprised at how spacious the rooms were and and the fact that we get one room per person. The food was also good and lunch activities were also fun. My only pet peeve is that they did not let us order food but Its not that big of a deal. In conclusion, I really recommend going to this camp if you want to have an amazing time and still somehow learn a lot and meet a bunch of new people.

Happy Hackathon

My son loved this camp, he's done a few of the others and he was properly challenged and learned a lot.
Massive thanks to all the team as ever for their patience and ever enduring sense of humour!

I can sum up my experience this week with FunTech in one word; superb. Superb teachers, who're always are the help and guide you in the right direction; Amazing lessons, that keep every one engaged and excited to learn; Fantastic breaks; that give us moments of rest whilst also being really fun! In summary, FunTech Barbican is one of the best Computer Science Camps you could ever go to. In my time at the camp

I studied Ethical Hacking (Hackathon) in a group of 6 , which was not so many that I did not get the help I needed in a timely fashion, but not too many that I was able to grow friendships and bonds with the people in my group. The Teacher who taught us (Alliyah) was always there when we needed, and explained what we needed to do, and why we needed to do it; a perfect example of a model teacher. The Teacher and my group where not the only upsides though; the curriculum that they taught us was both entertaining and engaging with interesting subjects and topics that covered the whole field of Cyber Security from Ethics to Social Engineering.

In conclusion, my time at FunTech was "the Ritz", a 10/10 experience and would 100% do again if they had a second, more advanced, course. No matter there age, you kid will love and enjoy there time here.

Hackathon Happiness!

My son had a great time on the Cyber Security Hackathon camp. He is very interested in ethical hacking so this was the perfect camp for him. He loved the practical challenges as well as learning how to use new software and he's much more security conscious as a result of attending the camp.

Great

My son had a great time. Long days, nicely broken up with play times, and he came away feeling like he had learned a lot.

coding

this past week i have learned the unsterstanding and foundations of computer science this has been a boost for me as i am going into gsce's and the games are the best thing we have done in the week as i have high aura and iq

FUN-TECH

hard at first but as the days go the experience gets better along the days AND VERY USEFUL OF MY TIME and has made me a computr genius

Great Camp!

This week I have learnt a lot about hacking into different servers/computers and websites. I now know a lot more about Cyber Security. I also had a lot of fun playing outside and playing indoor social games with friends.
