My son took part in the 3D Game design virtual week course. He thoroughly enjoyed it, and was engaged throughout and has developed new skills and confidence while completing the course. The course has ignited his imagination and boosted his enthusiasm for game design. The tutor was very supportive, knowledgeable and competent and inspirational. On the final day doing their individual projects it would have been nice for the students to have enough time to show each other their game design to see how others had used the course to develop their own game ideas. Overall, the course was a huge success and I would definitely recommend it to those interested in game design.

Great systems in place for virtual teaching. We had no issues with connection.

My 12 year old daughter found the course useful, but as she was the only girl she did find it a little bit isolating at times. We definitely need more girls getting involved with this as it seems to be a very male dominated activity.

Unfortunately there were a few occasions throughout the course where the usual tutor was absent, through no fault of FunTech, they had to arrange some cover, which they did quickly and kept me informed when having to do so.

Had many calls from FunTech throughout the two week course to see how my daughter was getting on, it was reassuring to know that they wanted her to have a good experience and to see whether there was anything that could be done to improve it.

I have no doubt that we will be booking onto another course in the future.

Excellent week of learning

My son had a great week extending his coding knowledge. I am grateful that Funtech keep extending the syllabus so that he can do a new course each summer.

3D Gaming

My son really enjoyed the 2 week (half day) virtual course on 3D gamning with Unreal engine. Funtech asked for a bit of pre-course prep from me as a parent (checking Broadband speed and computer spec - it was all reasonable to ask and fairly straightforward) and took 2x20mins. We used childcar...

My son really enjoyed the 2 week (half day) virtual course on 3D gamning with Unreal engine. Funtech asked for a bit of pre-course prep from me as a parent (checking Broadband speed and computer spec - it was all reasonable to ask and fairly straightforward) and took 2x20mins.

We used childcare vouchers to pay (you need to pay upfront by card but then we got the money back quickly from Funtech once the childcare scheme had sent their payment). Without this option I do not think we would have booked the course.

Overall I was impressed with how my son remained engaged over the whole two weeks and he seems to have retained a real interest in the subject and learned other transferable skills. The person running the course seems to have struck a good balance between moments where they are all chatting and others when they are progressing the specific course elements.

Overall very good and certainly a good review from my son.

My son is not a gaming boy as such so was worried, he wouldn't be interested. However, this course was great for him. He thoroughly enjoyed it and was self-sufficient once all the software was loaded. Loading of software was a little challenging which is understandable given everyone has a different set up. We found it worked best on a PC.

Would definitely recommend. It was engaging, the learning of a good skill and a great way to keep them occupied through the holidays!

A.I. - Machine Learning

My son found this virtual camp to be engaging and fun. This is a nice introduction to A.I. - machine learning and provides a good foundation. My son really enjoyed the camp!

Thank you FunTech for the amazing courses and instructors!

Python Virtual Coding Camp

My 12 year old son thoroughly enjoyed attending. He selected the part-time, 2 week course. This worked well throughout the summer holidays. The teacher (Musaab) was great with the children. Overall, a well ran course with excellent support. We will be signing up to the next one.

I was really impressed at how accessible and helpful support staff were and could hear how patient his teacher was. Top quality course and I’m glad he signed up - we will definitely be doing more!

Thank you funtech!

Great course

My 11-year old daughter really loved this course. Very well organised and very supportive teaching.

Lots of learning took place!

3d game design

i learnt quite a bit of unrealengine logic that the game creator uses such as deleteing only one sise of a negative geometry will crate a one way wall or other things such as funtech providing blueprints for use . the course is overall really fun to participate in so i may go again.

best course i have ever done

the tutor was really helpful and i gained a lot of skill in the game design area. this could start a career

The tutors are always there to help and can usually fix any problem any of us have ever had (us being our class). It can take a bit to get up to speed but is very fun towards the end as you make games that you are genuinely proud of. Unreal engine makes it simple to design and build your dream game or any other game. Would definitely recommend and would happily do it again.

it was very fun and i was interested in the loops

My Funtech experience

I personally took part in this course to refresh a few topics and fix up anything I didn't know going into gcse course over the last two weeks funtech has refreshed my understanding on topics while also helping me learn new topics such as sorting codes. Additionally it has also been a fun experience

I liked it

Maxi's review

Super good course, I loved it all and it was super interesting and fun, especially when we were creating our maps/games.

FunTech review

This course was very fun and I understood how to code in Python/PyCharm. The tutor was very nice and made the lessons fun.

A good experience

The Funtech Camp was really good. I got to improve my coding skills by doing fun challenges. I found the start of the course really useful to recap on what I had done and it was interesting to learn some different things about coding by using Tkinter. Overall, a very useful 2 weeks.

very very good

very very good

Harry told me he really enjoyed this last course .. and his tutor was very knowledgeable and helpful and he enjoyed doing this course with other people more his own age.

He seemed to be occupied and interested for the whole 5 days .. we have previously done just pms so this week was intensive but it seemed to work well for him and I think he had leant new things that were previously gaps in his knowledge.

I think these funtech courses have been very professionally presented and run and I am very impressed with the level and standard of knowledge and teaching on offer.

A brilliant course!

This was a brilliant course for my 15 year old daughter. Just the right level, and with a wonderful teacher providing all the support that was needed. She thoroughly enjoyed it.

Thank you funtech!

Very professional and engaging course

The course was very professional and challenging.
The level was high and kept our son engaged at all times.
The teacher was patient and attentive to all the students and managed to steer the lesson in the right direction.

We were very happy with the camp and would recommend it.

Charlie really enjoyed this course. She thought the tutor was very kind and helped her to understand areas and go over things in the break when she didn't quite get something. The Python proficiency is a must to get the most out of this course though as Charlie was a little rusty and found it ...

The Python proficiency is a must to get the most out of this course though as Charlie was a little rusty and found it hard when she couldn't remember.

Luke (who is 14) really enjoyed this course. He spoke highly of the course teacher and said the course was well run and there was a small enough number of students that they got a good amount of individual attention.

He particularly enjoyed the fact that the teacher didn’t dictate what to write, but gave examples with explanations and then left the students to write their own code.

Highly recommended.

Very good camp

My son Felix enjoyed the camp. It was a little too much information in one day for an 11 years old boy but I think he learned a lot and next year we have to book the 2 week camp so he can better focus every day. It was very professionally organized.

Thank you!

Python coder

Archie enjoyed the Python Coder Level 1 course so much he asked to go straight onto the Level 2 course.

He enjoyed it so much, he is now doing it for his GCSEs.

That’s inspiration for you!

An enjoyable and worthwhile week

Our son really enjoyed the virtual camp for a week of coding. He learned loads and had fun too.

The tutor managed to balance the amount of learning without it feeling overwhelming being online all day.

Python Level 1 - 2 week course

My son LOVED this course!

He particularly enjoyed using his new knowledge to write his own code.

Everybody is happy!

Hello, our son participated in the 2-week Roblox - Game Developer virtual camp this summer.

We were very pleased with the course. Our son thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it!

FunTech staff are always very efficient and quick to follow up if we have any questions. Even the preparation ahead of the course works very well with helpful staff at hand to support us.

We will definitely be enrolling our son to more camps. Perhaps Residential next time as we have full confidence in team at FunTech!

My daughter found the Indie Game Developer Camp very interesting and it has inspired her to consider developing further her skills in game design and development. The size of the class was small (3 children). The tutor was excellent! She was knowledgeable, greatly able at passing that knowledge at the level required by the students and made the whole experience fun and enjoyable.

I should also add that the technical support was, as usual, pro-active and very helpful whether in the computer set up stage or during the camp period.

Thank you ever so much to the Funtech Team for making the camp such as a valuable and positive experience for my daughter.
