GREENWOOD VILLAGE, Colo., Jan. 23 /PRNewswire/ — Launch Pad, LLC today
announced the availability of Brainetics(TM), a fun and engaging DVD
program designed to unleash the potential of the human brain. Created by
Mike Byster, a former commodities trader turned child educator, Brainetics
is an innovative learning program targeted toward children 4th grade and
above, with the goal of getting kids excited about math and learning.
Brainetics does more than teach children how to multiply large numbers
in their heads without paper, pencils or calculators, or how to map a
random date to the actual day of the week without hesitation. Brainetics
gives students the valuable tools of concentration, focus and speed to
master complicated mental problem solving that can be applied to math and
every day life.
Since 1997, Byster has volunteered his time to give more than 5,000
volunteer presentations in schools across the country, cultivating and
perfecting the Brainetics program. Byster has received thousands of
requests from parents, teachers and students to teach in their schools, and
questions asking how they could take home his techniques, leading him to
develop Brainetics.
Through the fun and empowering DVD program, complete with workbook,
custom flash cards, deck of playing cards, parent guide and interactive Web
site, Brainetics uses pattern recognition techniques, memory building games
and entertaining exercises to engage kids in the competitive spirit of the
program and encweages them to take on new challenges.
“Kids have such a tremendous mental capacity if they push themselves
and use it,” Byster said. “Giving kids confidence through early learning
positively influences how they pursue accomplishments throughout their
lives. I want to show them that they can do anything if they set their
minds to it. And, it’s really fun for them to amaze their parents and
friends with what they learn how to do.”
The Brainetics set includes 5 DVDs and an informative playbook with
entertaining practice problems and helpful hints. Specially-designed
Brainetics playing cards and practice flashcards complement the lessons in
the DVDs. The lessons in the program, which have been developed into
interactive games, are designed to boost the power of a child’s brain,
turning him or her into a “walking calculator” while making learning fun.
The program also includes online games at http://www.Brainetics.com,
where kids can go to practice the Brainetics techniques. The Web site also
follows Mike on his National Brainstorming Twe as he visits schools
nationwide free of charge to teach kids his amazing techniques, and
provides a way for kids, parents and teachers to write to Mike with
questions.
Brainetics is available to purchase for $199 through the Web site or by
calling (877) 444-3776. For more information, visit

during which Byster visits schools throughout the country free of charge
