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!

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.

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.

OOP Day camp

My son enjoyed the course a lot and asked to attend another one next year.

Well done and thank you to everyone at Funtech!

Throughout the course I feel like my general python skills have improved and the whole experience has been really fun.
My favourite project was Hangman which I could only do through the skills I learnt on the course.
Creating graphics has been something I always wanted to do on python and now I know how.
My funtech tutor went above and beyond to make this an awesome experience, letting us use code to make a Geometry Dash game in the final session.
Overall being on this course has been a worthwhile experience and I would like to come back for a course another time.

I wasn't sure what to expect on my first day of the Funtech Python OOP Course. I was very anxious that I would not make friends, and that my existing knowledge of Python would not satisfy this complicated, and professional course. I sat down at my desk with fear, and cautiously looked around at the students surrounding me. To some surprise, my first day at this course went rather well. I had kind, interesting interactions with the other students. I felt supported and safe in this environment, and began expanding the horizons of my Python knowledge.

However, as soon as I left the room where I began preparing for a successful future, I noticed something.. strange..

This must be a dream, I thought, life cannot be this perfect?

Oh but it can. And it is, at the FunTech courses!

Right, on a serious note, I enjoyed the course. Although, after I finished it I got millions of companies recruiting me in advance- which was quite weird.

People also started begging me to be their friends- they wouldn't stop bothering me!

Don't take this course if you don't want to be super popular, smart, gorgeous and successful.

I wasn't sure what to expect on the first day of the FunTech OOP course. I didn't know anyone there and I had not studied coding to too much of high level. What I experienced next was a divine revelation. It was one of the greatest five days of my life. I cannot thank the FunTech staff enough for the out-of-this world lengths they have gone to to ensure my full enjoyment of the course and for me to become whole as a Python programmer. The dedication filled me to the brim with drive and power and hunger and a level of happiness and coding prowess that even Tim Cook couldn't supply me with. I would like to sincerely thank FunTech and the vast amount of new friends that I have made in this course for the support they have given me. They made me a better coder, a better person. Thank you.

This is the last year that I'll be able to do Funtech Courses, but the Funtech Tutors have remained constantly helpful every year I've been, and this year is no different. They make sure that Funtech is actually fun and are happy to teach you things outside of the course if it might help with your project - since they have studied the subjects of the courses to a high level, they know a lot more than just what's in the course and are happy to explain extra to you :)

this was fun

you can learn many things here like making codes that crash computers that defienitly arent viruses

Great! At the start of the week, I had very little knowledge of Python, and am now comfortable writing complex programs (such as text-based videogames and basic user interfaces). The atmosphere was relaxed, and breaks were plentiful but not excessive, with numerous fun activities (such as "Capture The Flag" and "Dodgeball") during lunchtimes. The tutors were very helpful when I didn't understand anything or my code wasn't working as intended and I couldn't figure out why.

Great

FunTech was fun and I learnt a lot.

Great Course

The course had a pace well suited to all members of the class and extension learning was always available :)

Funtech review for week

The week was very fun and productive, the residential section was very fun and the classes taught me a lot I didn't know before. I made some good friends here and would definitely come again.

General Python OOP - Matas

I had a great 5 days here in FunTech, and learnt lot's of new ways to code in Python. I am happy to know these things, and I will be definitely using them outside of FunTech in my own projects at home. Definitely recommend, and you will most likely learn a lot!

Very fun I enjoyed it a lot.
Obviously this is different from the first level which made it a lot more worthwhile since I have gotten better and I think this is an efficient way to learn as a group as we can learn from other people's problems.
Also the tutors are nice and the class sizes are just about right which enables a good learning experience for everyone. Since there are so many courses most people are on about the same level.
The units are set in a good order where the things we have covered before can be used in the current unit, which is helpful as we can look back to see our previous codes to refresh our memory.
One thing that can be an improvement though is that sometimes the course goes a bit fast for some of our likings (not for me).
So overall a very good course.

Tegan Davey Review

I learnt a lot. It was great because it wasn't always the same. There were questions, programs to make, programs to fix and lots of choices. This meant that, by the end, we could use everything to make something really run. Everyone was really nice and the whole thing was really friendly.

my review

it was good

nice

Positive and encouraging tutor. course is engaging even online, as there are plenty of questions for everyone.

I loved it

This course has been an amazing and helpful experience, the tutor has been extremely helpful and encouraging and explained very confusing topics in an amazing way. The exercises were well designed for the given topic and the videos were very helpful and informational. If I had to change one thing I would decrease the amount of tkinter used but overall I loved it especially with such an amazing tutor.

Python OOP2

I've learnt so much over the past week which I'm sure will help me with my computer science GCSE and beyond! The tutors were really enthusiastic and helpful, not only during lessons but also at break and lunchtimes where we played fun group games. thank you! :D

Python-OOP

Max was always helpful when I needed help and always explained everything clearly and helped me learn lots of new things. All of the teachers were all accommodating and made me laugh lots of times. All the teachers made it very fun to learn and were great.

python OOP

Python OOP was very fun, are teacher Max was very nice and humorous and helpful. I highly enjoyed the week, the other teacher Hamza and the Leader Midé, were also very funny and I enjoyed playing card games with them like cheat throughout the week.

Python OOP

It was very fun, I really enjoyed this week, although some parts were slightly confusing

PythonOOP

The Python OOP is a fast-paced course but also a well explained course. It propels your knowledge of python in one week and the constant screen breaks help reduce eye strain but also to just have a bit of socialising.

Feelings about it

Fun and Hard, I liked all the breaks and the learning experience, now I can do quite a few things on python, or, more than I could last week. Good week

Abosolutelly the best

i loved it and i will do more A.S.A.P

Python2

I enjoyed making code. It was challenging.

Really Good

Functech Python OOP was very very fun, interactive and informative to be in, I find it very fun and hope next time in the future i will be able to join more funtech courses.

great camp

This camp is great, it taught me a lot while I was having fun. I highly reccomend this course

It's not a formal classroom where there are so many unnecessary rules, it's a really nice environment where we actually learn lots.
I even love the software they use.
These courses couldn't be better.
I just wish they lasted forever.
That's how much I love Funtech
Anyone nice enough to read this far down, PLEASE do funtech: It is the best!!!

I did the mornings from 9-12:30 for two weeks, this was probably the better option as then you wouldn't be sitting in front of a computer for a few extra hours. I have truly enjoyed it and would definitely recommend and do it again if I had the chance. This wasn't one of those courses where you just copy from the tutor, this was one where you actually learned and could put that to good use. The tutor was very funny and wasn't boring one single bit. 10/10

Python OOP

This python oop virtual day camp really helped me grow my python learning skills and now I can create some amazing things

Python OOP

I learned a ton in these lessons! My tutor kept things quite engaging and explained everything very thoroughly. Sometimes I found myself waiting around for a bit, but that was fine.

Python OOP

This course helped me learn a lot that I didn't know and that is thanks to the program itself but mostly the teacher. I will remember this as one of the greatest classes I've ever had

python OOP

I was able to learn more about working on python using GUI's on tkinter, drawing faces/ shapes on python too. This has helped me understand computer science alot better and will help me with my computer science GCSE next year

Made a game

Learnt new stuff, it was fun I loved it
I even managed to make a game.

My son found Python- Level 1 easy so we had to contact Funtech in a hurry. At 9 on the following morning, the worker was very professional and kind, asking Eric a series of questions to judge his caliber for his second level. All was fine.

The teacher was nice and kind to him and he helped my son efficiently. So effectively that my son told me 'we are covering enough of Python this week to last me to next year: his final GCSE computing exam.

Funtech is worth every penny I pay. Keep up the good work

The 2 weeks I spent learning python via FunTech was definitely worth the time and effort as I learnt a plethora of new things that I didn’t know before. Not only did I learn a vast amount of helpful, useful and meaningful code, the course that my class followed was very well structured and easy to follow. Of course, everyone in our group struggled on certain aspects such as using lists or classes but, in the end, we were all able to write our own codes for ourselves and even use the aspects we struggled on to help us write our codes. I think the best part of this learning experience is that you always have the teacher there to help you at just at the raise of a hand!

All in all, I am very satisfied with my FunTech experience and will hopefully attend this class next summer.

Also it was quite an enjoyable routine of learning and it made me want to learn more and become a better coder. The staff also were very helpful with their explanations and I enjoyed this routine of learning and the way we were taught and also given freedom at the end to do what we wanted and put our skills into good use. In general this camp was lots of fun but at the same time it was a lot of learning which was great.

Very detailed programming course revolving around OOP in Python. It has been beneficial for enhancing my python skills, especially regarding GUI. Anything that was complicated was made sure to look over again and ensure everyone understood it. A lack of camera's on action is slightly recurrent throughout all funtech courses, and I think that if they made it compulsory it would mean that students get less distracted by mobile phones, diverting their attention 100% to the course.

Tommie - my week of OOP

I really enjoyed this past week of python. I learnt lots of new things

OOP Python. Very fun!

I really enjoyed the learning on this course and is was very interesting. I learnt how to use functions and initialisations I really enjoyed it and would definetly recommend this course to other people. It shows that you are able to know the basics of python! Thankyou FunTech and the staff
