課堂經歷
We are perfect for learners who may not be fully challenged at school, are being homeschooled or those interested in direct training in 21st Century thinking skills. It is our goal to bring gifted style education to everyone using tools such as problem based learning, creative challenges and debate. Braintrain's proprietary curriculum is designed to help learners improve their 21st Century and higher-order thinking skills over time. Each week, learners are challenged based on specific learning outcomes - such as strategy, critical thinking, creativity, collaboration and leadership & persuasion. The World Economic Forum and other leading organizations have predicted these skills will be essential in a rapidly evolving future. We believe they must be trained directly, which few school curriculums do. Studies show that the best way to train these skills is to challenge learners at the correct level and pace with fun and interesting multi-dimensional problems. Braintrain teachers excel at doing this in an age-appropriate and fun way. Our sessions emphasize teamwork, healthy competition, thinking outside the box, questioning of biases/assumptions and supported failure. We have small class sizes, fun content and excellent teachers. In a given week, braintrain sessions might use problem-based learning (PBL), brain teasers, lateral thinking puzzles, ciphers, escape rooms, logic grids or rebus puzzles to challenge learners in our gamification/game-based learning. Notes: *Each session is developed independently, so a learner can drop in to any class at any time. *Learners DO NOT need to be identified as gifted and talented or twice exceptional to join the club. While the content is most attractive to learners who may not be challenged enough at school or those that perform higher than their age, every learner is welcome to participate in braintrain sessions. 2025 Braintrain Class Schedule January 2025 01/6 Thinking Hats 01/13 Finders Keepers 01/20 Treasure Island 01/27 Divide the Spoils February 2025 02/3 Thinking Hats Rd. 2 02/10 Let’s Go to Magic School!

Welcome Aboard!
We offer unique, live sessions for learners ages 7-12 designed to develop foundational cognitive skills which we group under the 5 Cs:
-Critical Thinking
-Collaboration
-Creativity
-Complex Problem Solving
-Connectivity
Studies show that these areas, sometimes called '21st Century Thinking Skills', will be increasingly needed for success in the world our kids will inherit from us. Our innovative curriculum de-emphasizes memorization and repetition and focuses instead on skill development and problem solving.
Our ongoing classes are perfect for learners:
1) who may not be fully challenged at school;
2) in a homeschool environment looking to work on skills in a social setting;
3) identifying as neurodivergent and twice exceptional; and
4) experiencing social anxiety.
In weekly sessions we explore a range of subjects like outer space, artificial intelligence, logical fallacies, the impact of social media and more. Our curriculum examines the subject from a range of angles working towards specific learning outcomes including analytical/systems analysis, logic & critical thinking, creativity/innovation, leadership & persuasion and communication skills.
Our conductors excel at presenting these subjects in an age-appropriate and fun way.
All braintrain sessions use problem-based learning (PBL) and gamification/game-based learning. We emphasize teamwork, healthy competition, thinking outside the box, questioning of biases/assumptions and supported failure through an emphasis on small class sizes, fun content and excellent teachers.
