Python Coder Review

This camp was great as the teacher was very enthusiastic and the course was nicely set

Minecraft Red stone Engineering

My son had a lot of fun. He learned new interesting features.

My daughter loves Minecraft and everything about it so when I saw this class on Mods for Minecraft I was immediately interested. The admin team has been great sorting out all questions and guiding me through the booking process. What's great is that you can use your childcare vouchers to pay for the classes. The teacher of the class was great and helped my daughter every time she needed it. She was the youngest in the class so she needed quite a bit of support but FunTech and the teacher were supportive and she managed to complete the class and be even more enthusiastic about Minecraft!

Our 10 year old had a great time at Minecraft mods, he learnt loads and had a lovely social group of kids, so despite being on screen every morning, it was a lovely experience throughout.
The only improvement would be a consent process to allow kids to stay in touch with the others they became friendly with, and develop a group closed game together, both during camp time and subsequently.

My son really enjoyed his Virtual Minecraft course. He learned lots of new skills, including elementary programming, and loved being able to design his own mods. This course kept him entertained whilst we were working from home, and he continued working on his own after the course too. He shared his new mods with us at lunch and in the evenings, and I had to learn a whole new set of Minecraft terminology. I can highly recommend it.

Very engaging program

Although 3.5 hrs daily and virtually, the kids were very focused and engaged, having truly learned in a hands on environment. Strongly recommended.

Alexandra has thoroughly enjoyed Minecraft Redstone. The course was engaging, well organised and well put together. The group size was just right and the tutor was very knowledgeable and competent. This was her first virtual camp having previously done physical camps, but the experience and quality were exactly the same. It is great to have the optionality of both virtual and physical camps and the options of 2 weeks or 1 week of virtual camps.

Outside the camp, the staff at Funtech are always very friendly and extremely helpful, with endless patience for silly IT questions! This is our fifth year of doing Funtech and we are already looking forward to next summer's courses!

The boys thoroughly enjoyed the two weeks of game design. So that’s the main thing! Having done the python coding course last holiday, I was expecting slightly more coding to this course (I believe essentially there was none). I think I had hoped that this would have been a great way to engage the boys in coding, as it would be based on gaming. We will definitely come back for more though, so if you have any bright ideas for the perfect fit, let me know!

A great two weeks!

I was happy to see Kai enjoying the course every day. I would love for Kai to take another course with you in the future.

Fantastic course!

My son absolutely loved this course and the best thing about it was he learned some real engineering concepts, not just pure basic Minecraft. His tutor was excellent and engaging. This is the second course he has done with Funtech and it will not be the last. Thank you Funtech!

Roblox - Game Developer

My daughter gave this 5 stars and loved every session

Roblox Designer

Great course, which was interesting, fun and educational

"Amazing"

Our daughter says the course was amazing and she learned lots.

Python Coder virtual camp

Ethan enjoyed his course and has asked me to sign him up for the next level. I found the half day sessions works well as his concentration diminishes as the day progresses.

Roblox Developer course

My child really enjoyed this course. The feedback element of the course by the child on a daily basis is a great idea as the teacher then changed his style/ tech in accordance with the children’s preference on how they learn.

My child really enjoyed this course. The feedback element of the course by the child on a daily basis is a great idea as the teacher then changed his style/ tech in accordance with the children’s preference on how they learn. As a parent I would only ask that some individual feedback is given to parents at the end of the course (nothing detailed but info on what the teacher thinks the child could do to improve their programming/developer skill going forward). We would sign up for another course again! Thanks funtech.

My daughter enjoyed the AI learning camp very much. The instructor has organised the teaching material very well and was answering the questions from the pupils at all time. The break interval was set up well and allow the child to concentrate throughout the half day course.

Recommend to allow option of full day course over 1 week for the Virtual camp instead of the half-day course spreading over the 2-week time. This will allow more flexibility on the family to plan holiday away time during the school off period.

very educational

My son Victor really got a lot out of the camp and is now working away on a video game. It is extremely valuable to go on the course as the tools that the children like and skills will be of benefit in the future.

I am very pleased ...it was well worth the investment.

Python OOP Review

My daughter enjoyed this, and I think its a valuable course prior to starting GCSE's. However, she did find that some time was wasted on covering ground for some pupils not having a firm knowledge of Python.

But overall, a good course, and highly recommended.

Python Coder

My daughter enjoyed it, and she has already starting to link it to work she is doing with Scratch programming in school.

Game developer

My two children really enjoyed it and were engaged the whole two weeks of the course. They were also thrilled with the game they produced by the end of it

Python club

Gali really enjoyed the club. She was excited every day to learn new things. Her instructor Joel was kind and helpful. Very professional. She is looking forward to sign up for Python 2. Thank you Funtech for doing an amazing job :)

Child’s interest and learning

Our child has great interest in Roblox and prefers it over other games. Now she has learned to design her own games. What the childen like, they learn faster. Good training.

Great summer activity and enjoyable camp

This was the second Minecraft camp that my son did with FunTech and he has enjoyed his learning process. It involves lessons, self-work, and implementing the learned materials in the game.
Thank you FunTech!

Minecraft Game Coder

Lyndon thoroughly enjoyed his virtual Minecraft course. He found the tutor engaging and the course was well organised and structured. Lyndon has now done 6 Funtech courses (4 physical and 2 virtual) and they have all been excellent. We would highly recommend Funtech.

Python-Coder Virtual Camp

Amazing courses! My daughter was very happy with the content of Python L1 and L2. I am willing to consider other virtual camps in the future.
Thank you FunTech!

Luca absolutely loved the course!

Thank you for such a great course, my son Luca loved the course and really wants to book onto the next one. He learnt a lot of new skills and made some new friends, all round he really enjoyed it - thank you!

Minecraft Redstone Engineering

My son loved the week long course and learnt a lot! He said his tutor was really helpful and ensured that no-one got left behind.

Python Gaming Coder

Ollie had a great time making the game. The content stretched him and he learned new skills (classes). There was good support. When Ollie didn't understand something, he went back to the teacher and managed to fix it with their help. Another great course!

My 12 year old son was completely engaged all week

Great teacher - course kept my son happily engaged all week. He couldn’t wait to continue the course each morning. He’s showed us some of the code he has done and we are impressed.
Would definitely recommend this course.
Thanks

Another great Funtech experience

The children really enjoyed Redstone engineering and built some incredible things with their tutor Ashley. A brilliant way to engage them whilst we worked.

My son found the camp worthwhile and definitely improved his knowledge.
Virtual learning is always challenging but this was well organised and professionally delivered.
He did wish that there had been more interaction with other students, they learn from each other. I did feel that the students should have been requested/invited to show their faces rather than blank images. Face to face, even online is really important for understanding learning. This was not childcare for Owen but an opportunity to support his knowledge in readiness for his GCSE’s. I would definitely recommend.

My son enjoyed the course

My son enjoyed the course and had a real sense of achievement. His teacher was able to engage him and as such I didn't have any trouble getting my son to attend each day.

Indie Game Coder

My son really enjoyed the indie game coder course using Construct3 and has clearly learned a lot. He is able to create simple games independently and has lots of ideas for how to push his new skill forward.

- Liked the teaching style
- All the questions were answered
- Friendly atmosphere.

By the end, he has written is first gaming project as an independent exercise, up to 250 lines of code and counting.
Would highly recommend this course.

Very good camp

We have two weeks python level 2 camp, which our ten year old son enjoyed very much every day. At the end of the camp he was able to make simple text and video games with Python. We look forward to subscribe him into next level soon

My 11y-old loved it

Thank you so much to Funtech and the coding teachers ! My son loved the coding lessons and really appreciated the remote format. Everything is smoothly organised and I booked already new coding lessons for this summer. I highly recommend this fun experience for kids
