The National Science and Maths Quiz (NSMQ) is an annual science and mathematics national level quiz competition for senior high schools in Ghana. The National Science & Maths Quiz seeks to promote the study of science and mathematics while helping students develop a habit for asking and questioning everything around them. All these are done along with promoting a healthy competition among students of different senior high schools.
Formerly known as "Brillant Soap" or “Brilla”, the National Science and Maths Quiz is the longest running educational programme on Ghanaian television. The first quiz mistress was the late Professor Marian Ewurama Addy, professor of biochemistry at the University of Ghana, Legon (1993-2000).
Dr. Eureka Emefa Adomako, a botanist at the University of Ghana, Legon, became quiz mistress from 2001 to 2005 and Dr. Elsie Effah Kaufmann, the Head of the Biomedical Engineering Department at the University of Ghana, has been quiz mistress since 2006.
