Master Minds Challenge

As part of the Empowered Learning Transformational Center’s learning strategies program, we introduce students to the fascinating world of “Brain Aerobics.” Brain Aerobics is not your typical mental exercise; it’s a powerful technique that enables students to learn sequential information in both linear and non-linear orders.

Imagine this: our students can effortlessly recall the names of all the states in the United States, recite all the U.S. presidents in less than 15 seconds, list the first fifty elements of the periodic table in under 20 seconds, and even name every country in Africa within the same 20-second timeframe.

You might wonder, “Why such a focus on these specific topics?” Well, it’s all about developing electrical connections in the brain that can process and retrieve information in non-sequential order, and that too in a fraction of the time it takes an average person.

This intensive training strengthens both working and long-term memory. It’s not just about recalling facts; it’s about knowing them forwards, backwards, and in any order you choose. Remembering the 35th president (Kennedy), the 10th president (Taylor), or the 18th president (Grant) becomes as easy as remembering your own name.

And here’s the exciting part: as a motivation for anyone who takes our program, we offer a challenge. If you can name all the states in the U.S. in less than 20 seconds, recite all the U.S. presidents in less than 15 seconds, and list the first fifty elements of the chemistry table in under 20 seconds, or even name all the countries in Africa within the same 20 seconds, we’ll reward you with $100 cash and you’ll become an honored member of the Masterminds!

Meet our Masterminds, the students who have not only risen to this challenge but have excelled at it. Some of them can name all 46 U.S. presidents in as little as 11 seconds. These young minds are a testament to the incredible potential of our Brain Aerobics program, where learning is taken to a whole new level. Join us on this extraordinary journey of mental empowerment and become a Mastermind yourself!
