Actor Matthew Broderick Joins CYBERCHASE
Matthew Broderick is my child hood 80's hero from the movie "Ferris Bueller's Day off." He plays a high school wise guy determined to have a day off from school. He plays this likeable cool guy that everyone wants to be and we follow his fun filled adventures and mishaps of the day. I must have seen the movie a million times and I am thrilled to announce that he will be part of the CYBERCHASE team.

I created the fantasy sports math programs to give students opportunities to acquire a love for mathematics so they can pass algebra, graduate from high school, and attend college.
