🎯 May Challenge
Build one thing using everything — in one session.
🔥 Warm Up
"The May challenge: make something real, in 25 minutes, using everything you know. No preparation. Just you and what you have learned."
"The constraint makes it better. Let's go."
🤖 The Activity
The challenge: Your child picks one of these and builds it completely in this session:
To something they know well — written for someone who knows nothing about it
On a topic they are currently learning at school — with answer explanations
To someone they want to explain something to — using AI to help get the tone right
Of one news story — with context, perspectives, and verified claims
Build it. Time yourself. When the 20 minutes are up — what was completed? What would another 5 minutes add?
🧩 The Twist
Ask your child: do you agree with the rating? What would you change if you did it again?
Monthly refresher: say all five rules together. By now they should be habits. If any feel uncertain — that is the one to revisit this month.

Parent Notes
▼Focused execution — building something complete under a time constraint.
- What did you finish? What did you run out of time for?
- What would you do differently if you had 30 minutes instead of 20?
- What is the best thing about what you made?
The time constraint is intentional. It forces prioritisation and decisiveness. The output does not need to be perfect — it needs to be done.
Monthly check-in: how is AI use going at home generally? Any new tools being used? Any concerns?
