Geneviève Dupuis and Caroline Ouimet, both students in teaching at the UQAT, sure have done their homework. They are the creators of BORIS, a summer day-camp for youngsters in sixth grade and secondary 1 with learning problems. Twenty-four students joined the first BORIS camp in the summer of 1998. Every day they were called upon to solve a mathematical or scientific conundrum. Dealing with problems in realistic contexts, they learned to perform mathematical operations and to write up reports, and have fun at the same time. The BORIS project was a thorough success, and the founders have plans to introduce the concept to other places in their area.
