With summer break just around the corner, parents are scrambling to find ways to keep children occupied the next three months. One new offering this year is Brain Chase, a six-week online academic challenge created by an Austin couple, Allan and Heather Staker. Designed for second- through eighth-graders, Brain Chase is built to resemble a global treasure hunt. The goal, Allan Staker said, is to make summertime learning fun, rather than a chore. The Stakers said their experiences with their own five children helped shape the program, which came together in less than a year.
