ACTIVATE™ in Maryland

The ACTIVATE™ brain training program has helped students across the country improve the essential skills of focus, self-control, and working memory, as well as increase their reading and math scores. BrainFutures has partnered with Baltimore County Public Schools since 2025, and we look forward to providing the evidence-based ACTIVATE™ program to students in 15 Title 1 elementary schools this year.
