One of our favorite moments from this past school year was when we did one of our EPIC assemblies at

The energy was electric ⚡️
The staff joined in on the fun 🤩
The students left knowing about their growing brain and making good decisions 🧠

Share this video with a colleague, friend, or educator so that we can bring our assemblies to their campus community.

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!

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.
