FunTech (computer school)

FunTech is a British company founded in 1996 which offers extracurricular computer tuition for children aged 5 to 18 years old based in Maidenhead, Berkshire.[1]

Courses generally consist of weekly classes of 6 to 10 students as well as online homework, however one-on-one tuition and holiday courses are also available. Subjects range from the basics of computer use and touch typing, through to GCSE, A-Level and Computer Programming.[2] Classes are normally carried out at the company's Maidenhead centre, although courses have been hosted at other schools.[3]

FunTech has been featured on both the BBC[4] as part of the Tomorrow's World Technology Family[5] series and Channel 4[6] as part of a report on the British Government's decision to provide broadband access for every child

During summer 2013 FunTech launched its summer camps offering to children in Maidenhead, Oxford and Richmond. Courses including Java Coder, Rig and Render, Minecraft Secrets and Animation went down well with over 250 students attending over 6 weeks. There are plans for even more centers to open in summer 2014.
