FUNTECH

It was a fun week as I could learn more about coding and different statements such as while loops.

Why you should do funtech

Funtech was one of my favourite things i have done so far in 2023. I really recommend doing this if you want to learn about GCSE python while having immense amounts of fun and being able to make new friends along the way. Thank you Ben

10/10 would recommend. I had a very good time during this course and Harry in my opinion is definitely one of the teachers I have learnt the most from and one that I will not forget.

This course was very fun but I think more than anything, the work of our tutor made the biggest difference. Midway through the course he gave us a python cheat sheet; he was the best tutor and he very clearly outlined everything, especially the trickier concepts, which were explained well yet concisely. Learning with hm was very fun and very interactive, and if we ever needed help with anything he was happy to. The (self-proclaimed) best tutor taught us this camp and I am very glad he did.

Very good. Learnt a lot about Java in this week. Great videos and explanations and stuff

Java coder part one

The camp was fun and very helpful for me to start learning the basics of Java. The online format worked well and is a good solution for people who cannot travel to the places the camps are held. My teacher was very informative and clear. She also answered all of my questions.

Fun tech unity course

Great course! I loved learning lots about unity and in such a short amount of time! I now know a lot of things in unity and a lot about c#!

Funtech

The coure was very good as it helped me inprove my python skills, if I could, I would do it again.

It is very "Fun" Tech. Learned a lot of things about unreal engine and the tutor was also helpful.

My son thoroughly enjoyed the virtual Minecraft Coder camp - I was a little concerned he might get bored and not complete it but instead he couldn’t wait each day to resume and was very disappointed when it ended as he just wanted more! The tutor was excellent, keeping them motivated, engaged and included and I will definitely be booking another virtual camp next school holidays!

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.

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.

This is our third (virtual) camp with Funtech and we will sign up for more going forwards.

Support excellent too!

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!

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).

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.

My Funtech experience

Additionally it has also been a fun experience
