Question 1

What is the Flex Series?

Accepted Answer

FLEX 01 is a seven-day Human × AI Challenge for girls aged 10–14. Each day you use your brain first, then learn an AI skill, then put them head-to-head in a showdown. 7 Days. Two Powers. One Brain. For more details on each day’s program click HERE.

Question 2

When is it on?

Accepted Answer

The Summer School Holiday Program runs online over 4 weeks, from 04 – 31 January 2027. You book her into the week that suits your family (or more than one), and her 7-day program starts on the Monday of that week, with a new challenge unlocking each day. Intake weeks are from 4, 11, 18 and 25 January 2027.

Question 3

Do I need to know anything about AI or coding?

Every day unlocks two badges: a Human Power badge (like Curiosity or Judgement) and a Tech Power badge (like Prompting or Testing). Collect all 14 across the seven days!
