Do you remember the popular game show Génies en herbe? Well, you'll be happy to know that it's making a comeback on Radio-Canada. Be sure to watch the new Génies en herbe : l'aventure game show,
starting in January.
The general knowledge of secondary 5 and grade 11 students will be put to the test every Saturday at 4:00 p.m., from January 8 to April 16, 2011, through an exciting adventure.
Desjardins, proud sponsor
Having education and young people at heart, Desjardins is proud to sponsor this program where contestants work together to take up a series of challenges.
The Boni Desjardins question
During the first 8 programs, 2 bursaries will be awarded as part of the Boni Desjardins question. A student delegated by his school will appear on the show to ask a question relating to financial education. The Génies en
herbe contestant who answers it correctly, as well as the student, will each receive $500 to put towards a group project at their school.
For more information, visit the Génies en herbe: l'aventure game show website (in French only).
These are the winners of the Boni Desjardins question.
