Absa Bank Ghana, as part of its commitment and sponsorship to support the National Science & Maths Quiz (NSMQ), has in collaboration with Primetime Limited launched the “Story Problem Challenge” to engage and reward admirers of the national competition.
The initiative is to stir up memories of simple but interesting science and mathematics concepts taught in school and relate them to everyday life. The Story Problem Challenge will run on Absa Bank Ghana social media pages and the general public will have the opportunity to win random prizes for themselves as well as a set of science apparatus for their alma mater.
Simple questions will be posted on the bank’s social media pages on Mondays, Wednesdays & Fridays between now and the end of the NSMQ2020. To participate, just respond with the answer to the question and add the hashtags #NSMQWithAbsa and #your school’s official nickname. The school with the highest correct answers at the end of the challenge wins a prize at this year’s National Science & Maths Quiz finals!
