Summer Learning with Brain Chase

0

It’s not very often I get terribly excited about school. Nor do I really think about your child getting excited about school, especially in the summer, when life is supposed to be lemonade and pool parties.

But this year, I am. And so is Seven.

I stumbled on to a genius site called Brain Chase.

Brain Chase is the online equivalent, it seems, of The Goonies. I know I’m dating myself by saying The Goonies, but hush. The Goonies was and is still one of my all-time favorite movies. In case you’ve never seen it, the movie is about several kids who set out with a pirate map and a few helpful doodads like a doubloon, in order to find a hidden treasure somewhere in their town before the rich guys foreclose on ALL of their houses. It’s a fun film, full of surprises, and twists and turns and puzzles.

Brain Chase is all that. Including the treasure.

That’s right, this site offers multiple classes (your child signs up for three), and each week, as long as they do their assignments, they are gifted with clues that will eventually lead them to the ULTIMATE prize- The Globe of Magellan. I’s an ACTUAL buried treasure! Better yet, not only will the first student to correctly guess within a two-mile radius of the treasure win the treasure itself, they’ll win a trip around the world (or around Texas) to dig it up, and a $10,000 scholarship! There are TWO versions – one in Texas, and one WORLDWIDE. So, anyone can join in on the fun!

As of right now, Seven (he’s 9) has narrowed his class choices down to Engineering, Coding, and Art. But Cooking, Languages, Yoga, Entrepreneurship and more are offered, and backed by a team of instructors. It’s a true summer school, to help keep your kiddo engaged over the summer – and even get them AHEAD! And…the pricing is hard to beat. I looked at several online courses in strictly coding, and Brain Chase offers far superior options at much better pricing! Seven weeks for $69?

I did sign Seven up for the most expensive option – it was $229 – but that level offered so much more, plus a lot of neat tools I know he will really enjoy.

We are both excited to get the summer started…who wants to join us? Jump to the bottom of this post for a GIVEAWAY AND a CODE to SAVE!
