Busy, Busy, Busy as a Queen Bee or a Rally Rabbit!
So sorry we have been amiss in keeping up with all of the exciting happenings Professor Brainstorm has been involved with since our new product came in! See the new Professor Brainstorm Kits in the online store at www.playbrainstorm.com
Where to start? Hmm…well, first of all, our new cards were here for a short 48 hours before we hosted our FIRST TOURNAMENT! The first was held at the Champion’s Program for 3 straight days! We played with over 100 children who play with our older version everyday! They loved the new cards too and are an honest testament to the hard work and love that went into the new cards creation. A true collaboration between Chicago, and L.A.! Keep checking the site for more tournament information and other changes coming soon. We were also visited by two of our L.A. team members who flew into Chicago to learn how to play Tournament Style, and to lend a much needed helping hand at all of our events! Thanks Al and Chris!!
During our 3 day Tournament Marathon with the Champions program we also (as promised) returned to Sheboygan Wisconsin to Farnsworth Middle School where during the last week of school, on a bright sunny afternoon, more than 40 middle schoolers stayed after school to play Professor Brainstorm Tournament style! Of course the response was excellent and the students didn’t want us to leave until we promised to return again next year – of course we will! Thanks Dan!
The following weekend, we spent Saturday and Sunday at the Printer’s Row Literacy Festival in Downtown Chicago. We were sponsored by the Chicago Tribune and sat side by side with the Trib and Chicago Now as they televised live from the Fest! Thank you to all of the Friends of Professor Brainstorm who came out to visit, and help as we played with hundreds of youngsters, adults and teachers visiting our booth. Again, this proved we are not just a product – we are a true event! Our product flew off the table and into the homes of many kids! What a great way to spend the summer!
On the last 3 days of school, following the fest, we worked with Jen T. and hosted Tournaments to reward the students at Rutledge Hall School in Lincolnwood, Illinois for their ongoing good behavior. We played with a whopping 450 students in 3 days! Again, many of these kids had played with our original origin deck and they loved the idea of the timer, the new score pads, the spelling word mat and the new Effector/Protector and kingdom coins! Yes, you too can get your own coin by e-mailing me at ilyse@playbrainstorm.com
It has been an extremely busy and productive start to the summer – BUT WAIT! I’M NOT THROUGH YET!!
