We were thrilled to have Jay Heinrichs, author of the New York Times bestselling “Thank You for Arguing,” teleconference in to give our Public Speaking class an enthralling lesson in the power of persuasion! Having spent 25 years in journalism and publishing, Jay Heinrichs is now a highly sought-after speaker on the subject of rhetoric and persuasion. He has spoken before major corporations, prestigious universities, and now Brain Power! We were honoured that he chose to share his expertise with us!

With the help of Origin Room Break, Brain Power students managed to have a field trip without even leaving our headquarters! Each of our classrooms was turned into a fantastic “escape room,” and our students (of different ages) had to work together to solve a series of riddles and puzzles in order to win!

We had a blast (literally!) at the Dunlap Observatory in Richmond Hill on May 14th! The Astronuts (yes, Astro-nuts!) Space Camp was phenomenal as many students received the incredible opportunity to talk to astronauts from the ISS and participate in many educational astronomy-related afternoon activities, including hanging out at the Brain Power booth – with awesome brain puzzles, games, and more.

Brain Power’s Public Speaking students meet with former PM Pierre Elliott Trudeau’s (yup, Justin’s dad!) friend Brooke Johnson, a famous Canadian actress, at the Brampton Rose Theatre! It was a fascinating evening of history, politics, intrigue, and discussions on performance and presentation skills! Meeting Brooke Johnson!

Brain Power was thrilled to take part in the Association of Bright Children of Ontario Conference! This one-day conference was a showcase of innovative and renowned educators and education researchers and Brain Power was there to help host the event! Our amazing educators provided enrichment sessions to select groups of students, and our fantastic student volunteers manned an interactive Brain Power booth. Click images to enlarge
