Academic Summer Camp Students Learn Quantum Strategies for the Classroom
One way in which students learn how to achieve better grades through SuperCamp is by learning how their brain comprehends information. From the very beginning of the 10-day program, students are taught about the ‘Eight Intelligences’.
Students learn that they are intelligent in eight unique different ways, and that they are stronger in certain intelligences than others. SuperCamp students learn that the Eight Intelligences, which include Spatial-Visual, Linguistic-Verbal, Interpersonal, Musical-Rhythmic, Naturalistic, Bodily-Kinesthetic, Intrapersonal, and Logical-Mathematical, can each be utilized in unique facets to learn and comprehend information in ways that make learning fun and exciting. Once students find out how they are smart, they are taken through exercises and given challenges to help them hone in on their dominant intelligence as well as sharpen their weaker intelligences.
SuperCamp also teaches students about their three learning channels that include Visual, Auditory, and Kinesthetic stimulus. Students discover that they learn through all three channels and yet they do so more easily in one than another. Once students have learned this, they create ways in which to adapt their learning styles so that they can succeed better in each of their classes, especially the ones that call on the weaker stimulus.
Through SuperCamp’s Quantum Strategies advanced learning skills curriculum, students absorb ways in which to strengthen their study habits in order to comprehend more information in less time and to then be able to recall that information on a moment’s notice.
During the Quantum Strategies session, students also experience how to strengthen their memorization by learning Power Pegs, a skill that allows a student to remember up to 21 items at once without writing them down. Power Pegs use location and muscle memory to help students connect information to pre-determined ‘pegs’ that elicits the help of their personal bodies in recalling information from their brain. By using the ‘Power Pegs’ technique, students can memorize lists such as the Periodic Table of Elements, or locations and dates for an upcoming history test.
By taking advantage of the Quantum Strategies they learn through SuperCamp, students have been known to improve their grades at school by full letters or more.
