Kids going into sixth through 12th grades are invited to expand their minds this summer during a free program hosted by Brain Expansions Scholastic Training.
Running for five weeks each Monday and Wednesday from 3:30 to 5 p.m., the program will take place at the Children's Board Family Resource Centers in North Tampa, 1401-A E. Fowler Ave., Tampa.
Kid's will have hands-on fun with health, science and building while exploring skills to improve grades and memory.
B.E.S.T. is an East Tampa Initiative that focuses on engaging middle and high school students in health-care careers while enhancing their academics using memory skills and chess.
Students also are taught skills in memory and long-term retention, enabling them to remember anything that is needed for academic success in spelling, reading and comprehension, math and science.
In addition, students will be introduced to different disciplines including physical therapy, radiology, medicine, dentistry and optometry.
For reservations, call the center at 813-558-1817 or visit www.familysupporthc.org.
