LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The heat is on this summer as FunTech, the UK’s leading technology education provider for children and teenagers, kick-starts its summer holiday programme by launching Game Pro Virtual Reality with Oculus Rift and Drone Coder camps for the first time in the UK. The new camps are part of FunTech’s wider summer holiday programme, which aims to bring coding and technology to life through interactive teaching.
FunTech’s Managing Partner, Sheineez Barber, explains; “We are the first in the UK to offer Game Pro Virtual Reality with Oculus Rift and Drone Coder camps. This is a real coup for children and teenagers as well as FunTech. Put simply, for kids and teenagers these two particular camps have real curb appeal. Weaving together the latest technology with what is popular right now is a magic combination for engaging children’s minds and imagination.
“And, parents can rest assured that although our courses are a lot of fun there is a more serious educational element to them too. It’s just disguised. Children and teenagers who attend our camps come away with a solid understanding of the coding and programming they are using, and how to apply their new found knowledge.”
FunTech’s technology based computer camps are designed specifically for kids and teens aged 6 to 18 years old, and offer week long courses in 3D modelling, animation and printing, plus robotic programming, popular game design and programming, and mobile apps. As STEM subjects creep up the national agenda so too has the number of pupils attending the FunTech summer holiday programme since it began in 1996.
The summer camps are held at a variety of locations including Maidenhead, Reading, Oxford, Northwood, Tonbridge, Bristol, Hampstead, Richmond, Weybridge, and St. Albans. To book a summer camp visit www.funtechsummercamps.com .
