Dear FunTech,

Thanks a lot for the great cybersecurity course that Sofia attended last week ! she really learned a lot, it was incredibly helpful and well-structured.

Sofia really appreciated your expertise and the opportunity to learn about cybersecurity from you - as well as your guidance throughout the course which was invaluable as she is not English mothertongue. The cybersecurity course exceeded my own expectations: thank you for such an impactful learning experience for my daughter and for making the complex topic of cybersecurity so accessible to her.

Kindest regards,

Valentina Mingazzini
(Sofia's mum)

Dear FunTech Team,
Thank you very much for the great organisation of your in-person camp. It is the first time my son wants to attend a camp again!
Best regards,

My daughter has been attending FunTech Virtual Term-Time Lessons since she was 7. This summer she attended her second residential camp at Tonbridge School. She especially enjoyed learning how to design and build her own game. The combination of overnight stay and excellent pastoral care has given her a real sense of independence. Sadly, she fell ill and was gutted to have to leave early, but she’s already looking forward to returning next summer.

Fantastic week! Our son had the time of his life and is determined to return next year! Thank you to Ben, Charlotte, JMA, Abul and Jo for their care and their teaching. Not only did he learn all about Roblox but he had a wonderful time scuba-diving, mixing with the other children and enjoying the field breaks, the game night and the movie night! The cookie breaks were also a real treat! On the services side, I understand the room was fab and the food was delicious too! Full marks for FunTech! See you next year!

Great session!

Ehimen had a good time at the camp. He reported that the teachers took time to clearly explain things. It was also an opportunity for him to meet with other children.

Roblox Game Designer Course

My boys absolutely loved this course! They were a little nervous at first since it was their first time doing something like this, but those nerves quickly disappeared. The teacher was fantastic—so supportive, patient, and encouraging. He really made a big impact, and the boys were genuinely sad to hear he won’t be teaching the next part of the course.

The experience has sparked a real passion in them. They’ve already started applying what they’ve learned, building their own games and getting more and more creative every day. It’s been amazing to watch their confidence and skills grow so quickly. Highly recommend this course for any kids interested in game design!

Jason had a lovely time, and he told me he learnt alot.

Fantastic course

My son did the virtual Python Coding course this week and really enjoyed it. The teacher was very engaging and my son loved telling me every day about what he’d been learning. Really brilliant. Thank you.

Our son really enjoyed the Roblox – Lua Coder course. It was delivered in a highly professional manner, with plenty of practice to reinforce the learning. Whenever he had doubts, the instructor took the time to explain concepts in detail, even after the scheduled course time, which we found outstanding. This showed a genuine commitment from the instructor to ensure the material was fully understood. Overall, it was an excellent course.

This year was our son’s third time attending the residential 3D Game Design coding camp, and once again, he had a fantastic experience. It’s become something he genuinely looks forward to each summer.
The classes are well-structured and engaging, with tutors who clearly know how to connect with young learners. Their teaching style makes a real difference—not just in how much the kids learn, but in how confident and motivated they feel. Our son always comes home excited to share what he’s built and eager to keep exploring game design.
Outside the classroom, the camp offers a great mix of evening activities and excellent pastoral care. The environment is welcoming and supportive, which has made a big impression on our son. He’s happy to attend even when he doesn’t know anyone else beforehand—a big deal for him, as he usually prefers camps where he goes with friends.
Overall, we’ve been really impressed with the consistency and quality of the experience. It’s a camp that combines learning and fun in a way that keeps kids coming back—and we’re glad our son has found a place where he feels so at home.

My kid loved it! The tutor was kind and knowledgeable and it was money well spent!

Python Coder virtual camp

Our daughter attended the 5-day flexi camp (virtual teaching). The course combined revision and consolidation of her knowledge as well as learning new areas of coding. She feels confident in her Python abilities now and ready for starting her Computer Science GCSE. Thanks FunTech!

Did you enjoy it? Yes.

My son says he learnt a lot.
Teachers were helpful.

A huge thank you to the tutor on this summer camp. The tutor was patient and very friendly and covered a complex new coding language in a clear and fun way. Thank you so much

Marios' Python Coding

Hi,
Marios had a super experience at funtech for a week learning to program in python. He was fully engaged, he got well with his fellow students (made some new friends) and engaged very well with his lecturer. He is eager to come back next year for more. Thanks,
Andreas

Our son, Kafkas Doruk, completed the Roblox Lua coding training efficiently and was very pleased with the lessons and what he learned. It was really great to get training in a field he was interested in, rather than a standard summer school. We'd like to thank his teachers for their attentiveness during the lessons and Yushra for her support during lunch breaks. We're already looking for dates for the next course. We also thank the entire FunTech team for their interest.

Minecraft programming camp at MTS

My daughter really enjoyed the week. She has been playing Minecraft for a while, and learning to use MCreator to build her own personalised kit and tricks was really stimulating and fun.

It's been lovely hearing her chattering away with the tutor and her classmates whilst we're working and to catch up afterwards on all the great things she's been doing. She has loved every minute and is very sad it's over. She's really proud of what's she's achieved and can't wait to learn more. Thank you Funtech for another happy and enriching week :)

My son attended the Lego Robotics course for the second year in a row. We found this group of teachers and the leader/supervisor to be a huge improvement from last year. My son enjoyed the course a lot and said he really like his teachers. He was much more knowledgable on what he was learning this year and the demo session held for the parents was well planned. The teachers had a summary of what they covered each day and went around helping the students to demo what they wanted to show their parents doing (if they couldn't get it to work themselves). The teachers were engaging with the children and you could tell they had built a good relationship.
The supervisor was also helpful, knowledgable and caring. She was always present and knew how each child was doing throughout the day.
Well done! I am so glad we had the chance to experience a good week at Fun Tech! Thank you.

Minecraft Coding

George has had a really good week learning how to code in Minecraft. Jacob was a really good tutor, engaging and helpful.
The students learnt lots of new skills all week and put it into practice with a challenge on the final day.

FunTech Review

Very happy with the camp. Cillian really enjoyed it and is keen to do more coding now.

Engaging and fun

Thanks for another great week at FunTech. Arthur took his developer skills to the next level with Unreal Engine and is very proud of the games he has developed. It was also great to see at the Parent Showcase, how engaged the tutors were in his development and what he had produced.

Oustanding

A huge thank you to the entire team for an incredible experience for our son, David! From start to finish, the camp was full of fun, learning, and fantastic support. After the very first day my son said: “Mom this was the best day of my life” ;)
Special shoutout to Hal and Kyle — David couldn’t stop talking about how amazing they were. In his own words: “They’re the best, the best it can be!”
He had an absolute blast, and it was inspiring to see how much he enjoyed both the creative side of Minecraft Mods and the kindness and encouragement he received. He’s already looking forward to coming back!
Thank you again for making his summer so memorable!

We are very happy with the Creative Tech course that our daughter Elisa Sophie attended this year with Funtech. Despite joining from Rome, with only a basic command of English and some technical issues that prevented us from switching her system language from Italian to English, she was followed and supported with great care and attention.
The entire team went above and beyond to help her reach – and exceed – her goals, making the experience truly rewarding. Elisa Sophie learned a lot, had fun, and developed new skills in a well-structured and engaging environment.
It was a wonderful experience, and we’re definitely looking forward to continuing this journey.

This camp very much exceeded my expectations in every way. The first day 'felt like school' but was a necessary part of the camp because it was the 'how to' part. My son learned some new skills, met some nice children and I felt was safe and cared for whilst I was able to go to work nearby. The two tutors, Max and Paul, were just about the best people you could ask for. Super bright uni students. Kind, approachable and so,so encouraging of my son. My son noted that if they didn't know something, they contacted 'HQ' who would get back immediately, so you get the impression that this whole camp is backed up behind the scenes by highly competent people. This is the first time I've booked with Funtech. It absolutely won't be the last. Thank you all (especially Paul and Max) for giving my child a great experience, in a great location.

The cybersecurity week camp was pretty extensive, complex and very deep. VirtualBox with Kali linux, wireshark, linux skills, a hash function cracking. It exceeded my expectations as a parent. It felt pretty hard for my daughter, as she was completely new to the topic and to linux itself, but even then she liked it and understood quite a lot.
Also, communication during the process was easy and efficient.

Our son recently took part in a virtual camp over 5 mornings during week 1 of the summer holidays. Everything went smoothly and communication was great. We love that the parent and student portal is easy to navigate and it was super easy to swap his dates when another engagement ended up clashing. Our son really enjoyed the course and said his tutor was nice and friendly. He woke up early everyday and got himself all set up so he was definitely keen and enjoying himself. I could hear him asking relevant questions and chatting to his peers. We would definitely recommend FunTech and it's a massive bonus that childcare vouchers are accepted!
We will be booking again.

I was at a bit of a loss to identify suitable holiday activities for my son and I came across Fun Tech and this programme on line. It has not only kept my 11 year old son busy all week, he has come away at the end of the week with new skills with regard to game designing.
It has been one of the very few courses that my son has logged off at the end of the learning session for the day and still wants to tinker with the programme after attending a chunky training session

My son has a short attention span - however this course kept him interested
Parker, the Facilitator was brilliant and managed the group very well. Although a little pricey the money was very well spent

My 12 year old son attended this week's camp and said it was his favourite course yet. We've been coming for several years and the projects are always interesting and well taught, and this still applied with the new 'virtual' format. He also commented that the balance of coding/breaks is better, making it easier to pay attention. Will certainly be back next summer.

Daughter enjoyed this

My daughter really enjoyed this class and asked if she could follow it up with Roblox Code Developer next year. Definitely recommend it.

Brilliant, thank you

Thank you FunTech for another great camp. Some of the content was really complex but Hope did a brilliant job explaining it and finding different ways to make sure the students understood it and that the knowledge was properly embedded. And the building challenges were really fun.

Virtual Python OOP

Fantastic course. The tutor was engaging and extremely helpful. My son learned a lot. We will be back! Many thanks.

Python Coder

Highly recommended. My sons python aptitude has greatly increased which will put him in good stead at school. He enjoyed his lessons and looks forward to other sessions in the future.

Julius absolutely loved his Python OOP course! He was 100% engaged from start to finish, thanks to an amazing teacher who clearly had a real passion for both the subject and the students. The lessons were clear, fun, and perfectly paced for young learners. The support he received made a big difference—every question was welcomed, and encouragement was constant. Julius came away not only with new coding skills, but also with a real confidence boost. It’s rare to find a course that clicks so well with a student. We’d recommend this to anyone—100% worth it!

Fun techstic!

The Funtech team of tutors, coordinators and brainstormers behind all the courses and levels are outstanding.
My son has been happy to learn year after year at exact the right pace set for him.
