BrainAbouts

The BrainAbouts team is working hard to provide character content for our schools. We are rolling out our secondary character trait videos in the fall and can’t wait for you to see them!

If your campus is a BrainAbouts school, then you’re in for a treat.

Check out this behind the scenes footage from today.

Our inaugural BrainAbouts symposium was one for the books! Our audience was engaged, our speakers were second to none and the prizes that were raffled off, were coveted gifts that truly added joy.

You’re not going to want to miss our symposium, taking place next year on May 4, 2027! Official correspondence will be sent out later this year.

Thank you to our speakers, of .teandragordon and for the great customer service and our fantastic vendors that were in attendance.

A special shout out to our videographer for capturing our event in such an accurate and exciting way.

If you missed this event, make plans to attend next year.

It’s time for another BrainAbouts quiz!

Youth spend a lot of time on video games and many people are unaware as to why that is.

Let us know in the comments if you answered correctly.

Our words have power. It’s so necessary to speak positively about our lives, and our situation because it allows our brains to grow and develop in a way that strengthens our frontal lobes. Celebrating your differences creates a safe space for conversation centered around self esteem and worth.

We are so thankful to have support and buy in from amazing BrainAbouts advocates like Ms. Reyes. She shares with others how impactful our program is and she’s always willing to find creative ways to use our program while teaching about Brain science.
