Abstract
Last year in Cape Coast, Ghana, a maths camp was held, bringing together both international and local, university students, lecturers and teachers to engage secondary school students in the subject through puzzles, games, technology and extra-curricular mathematics. The goal was to spark a life-long love for mathematics in students, open their eyes to new ideas in the subject, and increase the chance that they will pursue mathematics and science in the future. The idea for a maths camp began with a group of AIMS (African Institute for Mathematical Sciences) postgraduate students who wanted to share their experiences and inspire school students in mathematics.
