Brain Chase 2015 + Giveaway

We just registered for 2 spots in the Brain Chase Summer Learning Challenge 2015! (I received one complimentary registration and purchased another so both of my eligible girls can participate) We are so excited for it and even more excited to giveaway another complimentary Brain Chase registration to one of you dear readers.  We are ready for summer!

We love school, but it's warm and sunny here already and we're itching to be out of doors now. My sweet niece can show you just how we feel about 3 more weeks of school:

Yeah, like that.

But if we're talking about summer and thinking about playing outside and participating in Brain Chase's summer learning challenge to uncover the Sunstone of Cortes, well then we feel a little more like this:

What is Brain Chase, aside from something that sounds fun and clearly gets us excited about summer time, it's also a really great program for keeping your kids learning through the summer and helping them retain all of the knowledge they worked all year to gain. It's also a great addition to any home school curriculum - it's just another fun way to learn! Check out the trailer:

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.

You can also take a peek at the actual Sunstone! The Sunstone of Cortés trophy is completed. Here you can see a video of the Sunstone being made. 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.

This year, Brain Chase also 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.

If you're a teacher, I have good news too! There is now a Teacher referral reward program. Brain Chase is offering $15 to teachers for each of their students they refer to Brain Chase. Registrants who hear about Brain Chase from a teacher can simply enter that teacher's name and school name at registration. Kids fight summer brain drain to win a treasure... and teachers win too!

If you have kids home for the summer, I really encourage you to check out Brain Chase! We've been looking into it and now that we're registered, we're even more excited to participate. It's a really great, well designed, program that kids will enjoy and parents can feel good about. This is the best option I found for fun, healthy, safe screen time for my kids this summer!
