Make Learning FUN This Summer With Our Brain Chase Giveaway

Congrats to our winner Leigh Anne!

Summer is coming and while your kids will be happily immersed in summery pursuits like; slurping on snow cones, running through sprinklers,  enjoying camp  programs and family vacation time– it is important that you prepare some type of  concrete plan prior to the summer getting underway that will help curtail the summer slide. On the average kids (who don’t continue with some type of educational program) will incur a loss of 1-2 months of learning progress while off from school.

So what’s a parent to do? Consider the Brain Chase summer learning program.  Check out my first Brain Chase post to get the deets on this online summer learning challenge during which kids will try and find the Sunstone of Cortés and win a $10,000 prize. And to get an even better sense of this program the video below is the official Brain Chase 2015 trailer for The Sunstone of Cortés and explains how the program works.

And keep reading for some new Brain Chase announcements and how you can win a giveaway of a complimentary Brain Chase registration valued at $199.

Use the new dashboard demo for a hands-on look at Brain Chase. You can interact with last year’s dashboard for detailed explanations about how kids’ work is tracked during the program’s five weeks.

• This year’s challenge is to find The Sunstone of Cortés . It is about 12 inches in diameter and has mechanically rotating components that open to reveal the center compartment, where the key to retrieve the $10,000 prize will be hidden.

  Here you can see a video of the Sunstone being made.

•Brain Chase has a New partnership with Rosetta Stone. All Brain Chase registrants will now have the opportunity to choose to participate in a language module as part of their online academic work.

Students will be allowed to choose from 30+ languages when they register, and will have a week at the beginning of the program in which to switch languages if they prefer. Rosetta Stone will be part of the all-inclusive pass to the best online curriculum providers that comes with Brain Chase registration.
