great course, interesting content

good content (deeply pog), but I feel that more could have been covered over the week

Better than expected

I entered the course with some poor expectations, but, I was persuaded to enjoy it with an interesting course, friendly classmates, and charismatic tutors.
Overall I enjoyed my time here.

Fun course, good for all ages.

I would recommend this course to everyone that enjoys fun, good learning to fun balance.

Fun and Educational

Very excellent blend of fun with education. I am learning a ton about hacking and cyber security while also enjoying my week.

Nice tutors

Fabian is a super nice and friendly tutor and I have overall had a great experience with support from my teachers when I didn't understand. I have learnt a lot and fully recommend the experience

My son Hari enjoyed the cyber course, it seemed to live up to his expectations

Having visited the venue at pickup, the venue marred from expectations, the rooms had little natural light and the kids didn't seem to have outside space to hang out in. I appreciate that it was completely to do with Covid and hopefully next year you will be able to run things in the school camp at Westminster.

Our very best to you and the team

My 12 year old son attended the cyber security Hackathon course this summer. He is not the easiests child to get to attend holiday camps and so we were a bit apprehensive as to how it would go. However, he really loved the course! He found it just about the right level of challenge but also great fun. My son really liked the course leader who really 'knew his stuff' but was also fun and engaging.
We had a few issues before the course started about course venue etc and these were all sorted out very efficiently by the Fun tech team. Overall our experience with Fun tech has been extremely positive and we would definitely look at booking courses in the future.

Divya was delighted to have completed the Cyber Hackathon course. Even though it was hard in the beginning for her(she has just completed year 8), the staff happily went over it again and again and she was understood the course and was very happy to do it.
She is considering a career in Cyber Security, so this course has laid a good groundwork in that journey.
As parents, we were happy with the course, location, facilities and friendly and knowledgeable staff.

Hackathon - Cyber Security camp

Eric really enjoyed his week at funtech. The staff members were patient and understanding with him. He learned alot too. We rated it 10 out of 10.

Happy teenager

My 15 year old son initially did not want to attend this summer camp. He reluctantly agreed to try the first day, and was adamant that he would stay home for the rest of the week. But he ended up completing the whole 5 days, and is now considering switching his PC from Windows to Linux :-)

A week of hacking

The course was fun, structured and interesting. I learnt how to use Linux, hack servers and crack passwords

hackathon

I found the hackathon very fun, and it was nice learning about the Linux terminal.

Good camp

Excellent camp and teachers, very good explanations of everything and a lot of fun. Some problems, but those were sorted out shortly

Very Good!

I really enjoyed this week, and our instructor Joe was incredibly helpful and kind. I will100% recommend this course to my friends. It has been my favorite camp by far. Thank you Joe and the FunTech team for such a good time!!!

Overall of the week

I really enjoyed learning about all of the linux kali commands and Joe is cool and Rick astley is cool

Very memorable

Coding was really interesting and I can use Linux now. Our teacher was really funny and had a good sense of humour. Joe is cool

I wanted to hack the minecraft kids

the course was very good we learned a lot but i think we could have put our new skills to good use by working as a team of hackers to hack the Minecraft kids as our show and tell

hackathon

it was very fun ad structured, it was fun to learn about hacking and all the methods, i will sign up for future courses

Hackathon

It was interesting and had lots of practical stuff in it.

Good course

Fun

Very fun and technical

The accomplished tutor has guided us through the ravines of Kali Linux, Vegan Beef and HAIL HYDRA throughout this week long course. The Distinguished tutor has left us with a greater understanding of the threats and vulnerabilities we face in the modern world nowadays and how to prevent them from affecting us. This kind gesture has taught us how vulnerabilities are exploited to gain access to others computers and steal information. The course was really engaging and an educational, productive and fun way to spend a week. I would rate this course 11/10!!!

it was fun

I enjoyed learning about ip addresses, how to hack in to servers and Linux terminal.

(^_^) it was good

It was very fun and I enjoyed it alot. The thing i enjoyed the most was learning how to scan for ip addresses.

Funtech is an exceptional company and personally, I genuinely enjoyed doing the Cybersecurity Hackathon course for several reasons. Not only was the tutor excellent, by helping us out considerably when stuck, but it
was engaging and taught me new skills that enhanced my computer science experience.
1. Learning how to ethically hack was interesting as we were starting to explore the darker side to technology and what to be wary of, e.g viruses and how people can crack your passwords
2. My tutor kept the lesson engaging by ensuring that we all understood the work as well as giving us useful tips and fun facts throughout the week
3. As the course wasn't overly easy or hard, I felt as if we were being challenged enough to learn useful skills from the course but at the same time it wasn't impossible to complete.
4. By learning how to execute commands like nmap, ping, grep, ifconfig, we also learnt how to apply it in real life scenarios and it also meant that we can look out for any weaknesses of the code and any way hackers could potentially hack into.
By the end of this course, I am proud to admit that I have all the skills a hacker would need but I have learnt to use them safely and in legal purposes only. This course will be exponentially useful to me in the future as I begin to learn more about coding and computers and head into the workplace.
Who knows? Maybe one day I will look back and realize that my love for coding stemmed from Funtech?
Having taken several Funtech courses since the age of 9, I believe that the course I have just completed was my favourite as it was not just educational, but fun as well.
The lead tutor deserves credit for managing all the behind the scenes work as well as making my time here enjoyable as well as joining our whole group in several games of cards. (always fun!)

Over the duration of this onerous but edifying and enriching course, our tutor, Dr. D, was extremely engaged, and effervescing with jubilant exultation, with an incandescent, flamboyant passion for the topic. He clearly elucidated the complex subject matters covered by this intriguing programme of study with great delineation, synchronous to the contemporaneous context of the lesson. The undercurrent of this tutorial period was one of intricate instruction and meticulous guidance from an educator with fervent and unbifurcated vision of accomplishment. Some of the areas of cyber-security covered over this week included: Vegan Beef and Hydra. Dr. D was infused with incredulous intellectual devotion and assisted us in the discovery of the espionage of the notorious FunTech Overlords, and of their discreet and inconspicuous recording devices. The lead-tutor at this camp also managed to teach us a Taiwanese card game that transformed into a contest.

it was great

I think this course was fun and educational

I loved it!

It was a great week!

meh

Its interesting bc at first its awkward but then its hard then its hard but less awkward then its rly fun cus we dont do anything and we make lots of jokes

Very Technical (in a good way)

It is a very interesting camp with new ways to learn different ways to use the computer. Hacking is very useful in ways to learn how to protect yourself, and maybe become a professional hacker. It is an educational, interesting, and technical camp.

Interesting

Overall it was enjoyable and very interesting, as it was nothing like what i thought hacking to be like - in a good way. However it wasn't super exciting and mind blowing, which is obviously inevitable as it isn't a sport camp etc. I do recommend

The course was very enjoyable and it taught me a lot about cyber security.

I first joined a bit too late and I had never done coding before so I struggled a LOT, but I had my friends with me witch they helped me and I was getting bored until I found out NOTES. My friend wrote down notes so she wouldn't get stuck (I got stuck a lot) so one day I said to my mum ''can I sit next to Sophie (my friend) so I did and then just like that I could copy from her notes and I loved coding and hacking ips and passwords and accounts became soooo much easier and of 'course' (bad pun :) and the camy was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCH FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO MUCH FUN and the only reason why I gave this place a 4 star is because my don't really do commands they do differently but i still enjoyed it hope you do too bye!!!!! :)

Funtech Cyber Security: Hackathon

The perfect camp if your are interested in hacking. The only problem is that is recommended for relatively young people who may not be able to keep up since the class goes quite fast. But for people who can keep up this is great since the information is delivered efficiently.

Cyber Security Hackathon

It was a really incredible experience, I learnt so much from the basics of linux to hacking a computer through a web-link. Our teacher James was so nice, helpful and incredibly smart . 100/10

it was really informative and i learned a lot

i really enjoyed learning how to use the linux interface and learning or use the various linux commands to hack into various servers and download files off them and create viruses

i enjoyed it very much

enjoyed the course very much, i learnt how to use exploits

its fun

i liked finding out how to crack passwords

It was FUN

It was really fun and I learnt lots!

everything was perfect

[insert perfect emoji here] I LOVED IT i really enjoyed password cracking and basically all of it! (cowsay moo | lolcat is the BEST linux command)

Fun learning experience

I found the course fun, engaging and exciting. I think I have learnt a lot throughout this course, improving my skills. It was a great experience and I would love to do it again! :)

Incredible course, 10/10 would learn again

Over the course of the 5 days that I spent doing Funtech's cybersecurity course, I learnt many useful skills that will help me out greatly in the future. The course was great, but wasn't too difficult thanks to the generous breaktimes and lunchtimes that we had. Would code again!

The course taught a great range of skills useful for ethical hacking, varying from password cracking to how computers communicate and how to intercept files. One of the best features of the course was that there are many different ways of going about the tasks. The tutors were helpful and always knew how to work around any problems. Abul however was very egotistical about his beard and smell. Overall it was a great course to learn the basics of hacking.

Very good would recommend

It was very nice, both tutors were very nice and helpful they helped me with the tasks and explained excellently! The breaks were fun and we played some fun games. I really enjoyed this camp and would recommend it to others!

I really enjoyed the practical, academic side of this camp. It was complex, stimulating, and the subject material was fascinating. I feel I have learnt a lot over the course of the week that I will be able to take forward with me, both career and school wise, but also about online safety in general. The group size was also perfect for the activity.
Tom was also a really good teacher, and made sure to give us each enough time to finish, and answering all our -occasionally quite random -queries.
the only downside I have was that on the first day, i felt slightly uncomfortable, as there was no ice-breaker to help me connect with the other kids on the course. I think, in future, giving up part of the day just to get to know a bit more about everyone else would be useful. In addition, at times I felt like i really needed to just go outside and take a break rather than being glued to the screen, so possibly during the breaks leaving the room and enforced away-from-the-laptop times would be brilliant.

Overall, however, this was an excellent camp and experience, and I'd very happily return to Funtech and do a different course.

Really intresting

I learned a lot during the week.

hackathon

great camp i liked it i got to learn lots of thing i did not know

Good course for people who have passion for cyber security.

I think the course is very fun. It is filled with very easy to understand topics which we could use. Anything that we didn't understand our tutor would help us.

I would recommend this to other people who would want to go into cyber security.
