The free 14-day Smart Summer Challenge — and the award-winning UK ed-tech platform behind it

Questipedia — the UK-curriculum learning campus that won 2nd place at the AI Squads AI Accelerator 2026 — is running a free 14-day Smart Summer Challenge for UK children ages 3–13, asking families to swap 10 minutes of screen time a day for a curated quest.

• The free 14-day 'Smart Summer Challenge' asking UK kids to swap 10 minutes of screen time for a quest

  Questipedia's summer 2026 cohort turns UK-curriculum practice into a 10-minute-a-day adventure — with a printable certificate and a free month of Plus for every finisher.

• The award-winning UK ed-tech platform tackling the summer learning slide with 10-minute daily quests

  Questipedia — 2nd place at the AI Squads AI Accelerator 2026 — turns holidays from a learning gap into a streak-based habit for ages 3–13.

• Founded by a 10-year-old, now running full-year 'Campus Seasons' for UK families

  The platform runs cohorts across the year: summer challenges, autumn sprints, winter boss battles, spring SATs sprints — free to join, no subscription required.

• Can gamified 10-minute daily quests really fix homework battles? One Essex-built app thinks so

  Parent-led angle: how a bedroom project became a UK-wide platform used by children ages 3–13, with the Smart Summer Challenge as its flagship free onboarding.

• The school-holiday screen-time trade: swap TikTok for a talking AI tutor and a 14-day streak

  Questipedia's AI study companion sits alongside a child, not replacing the parent — designed to be closed after 10 focused minutes.

Full-year cohorts

Campus Seasons — summer, autumn, winter and SATs sprints throughout the year

"The summer holidays shouldn't be a learning cliff. Ten focused minutes a day, disguised as a quest, is enough to keep a child confident when September comes."

"We built Questipedia so a child never has to choose between having fun and getting better at school. The campus, the boss battles, the AI companion — it's all in service of one thing: confidence."

"I wanted a learning app that felt like a game world — one my friends and I would actually want to open in the holidays."

Ubaid Ur Rahman is a 10-year-old from Colchester, UK. He started sketching Questipedia during school holidays and worked with his family to turn it into a live product used by children across the UK. Questipedia is designed around how he wishes he could learn: less like homework, more like a game world.
