The Big Brain Club
Smart is Cool.
It seems so simple, right? So obvious? But the truth is, intellectual peer pressure is a silent epidemic that undermines every parent or teacher that tries to help a young person become the best version of themself. Entire generations of kids are 'dumbing down' intentionally in order to be socially accepted.
Well, that ends here. You've found your way to the official website of The Big Brain Club, and through innovative classroom programs and a national network of empowered students, parents and educators, we are systematically breaking down the walls that stand between the underachieving kid and the well-rounded student.
What You'll Find Here
The Big Brain Club is lots of things -- online community, in-school program partner, resource center, agent of change. But most of all, we are the messengers who allow young people to understand that Smart is Cool. How? Here are just a few of the ways:

The Big Brain Club In Schools
Since expanding in 2010, The Big Brain Club is now much more than an online community. We are now also a hands-on program provider for middle schools looking to embrace their creative side. By professionally publishing the creative writing of young students, donating high-tech learning tools to classrooms and visiting hundreds of schools each year to talk about the importance of recognizing that smart is cool, The Big Brain Club is leading the charge against 'dumbing down' in school.
You can visit the In-School Program page to learn more about what we do, and while you're there you can read about our recent partnership with Colorado's Preston Middle School.
