🎯 May Challenge

Build one thing using everything — in one session.

🎯 Today's goal: Your child builds something complete and meaningful in a single focused session — the monthly capstone.

🔥 Warm Up

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

Main Activity

The challenge: Your child picks one of these and builds it completely in this session:

📖 A one-page guide
To something they know well — written for someone who knows nothing about it
❓ A quiz
On a topic they are currently learning at school — with answer explanations
📧 A letter
To someone they want to explain something to — using AI to help get the tone right
🔬 A fact-checked summary
Of one news story — with context, perspectives, and verified claims
📋 Type this exactly
I have 20 minutes to build [chosen project] about [topic] for [audience]. I want it to be genuinely good — not just done. Help me plan the structure in 2 minutes, then help me build it section by section. Start with the structure.

Build it. Time yourself. When the 20 minutes are up — what was completed? What would another 5 minutes add?

🧩 The Twist

Go Deeper
📋 Type this exactly
Rate the thing I just built: [paste or describe it]. Out of 10 — how good is this? Be honest. What would make it a 10?

Ask your child: do you agree with the rating? What would you change if you did it again?

🛡️ Safety Moment
“All five rules — monthly reminder”

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

▼
What they learned

Focused execution — building something complete under a time constraint.

Questions to ask
  • 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?
What to watch for

The time constraint is intentional. It forces prioritisation and decisiveness. The output does not need to be perfect — it needs to be done.

Safety in context

Monthly check-in: how is AI use going at home generally? Any new tools being used? Any concerns?
