About FunTechDad

FunTechDad is a provider of computing education, based in the UK across Gloucestershire & Worcestershire, with aim to grow and make a meaningful impact. We are dedicated to making learning real creative digital skills fun. Not everyone is aiming to become the next tech-mega-master, but being able and comfortable to use tech to make special moments with the ones we love is a skill that makes life for you and those around you infinitely richer.

“Modern life-skills include being comfortable and literate with a computer. And it includes seeing people and the world around you- making them smile, because you see them, so they smile back at you and see you. People today will need to be digitally literate to survive and thrive in the modern world. They need a heart to make it mean something. At FunTechDad, we’re on a mission to never forget the heart.” — Oliver Moss, Founder

FunTechDad collaborates with schools, community groups, local authorities, and private organisations to inspire and educate young and old people.

Bespoke Learning Curriculum

We can shape our lessons to you. Problem with a certain behaviour or changes? Creative technology allows us to paint a picture, make a poster or music about it.

Real Tools. Zero Subscriptions. Infinite Possibilities.

Founded by Oliver Moss — a machine shop technician and dad — Fun Tech Dad was built on a simple principle: high-level creative skills shouldn't be locked behind expensive software subscriptions.

Every program taught in our workshops uses free, open-source tools (FOSS). This means students and seniors can install the exact same programs on their home computers for free and keep creating long after the session ends.
