💡 KAWA Uganda’s Tremendous Role
KAWA Uganda’s contribution to the Eastern Region competition was remarkable.
Prior to the event, the team organised a three-week mentorship programme for ICT teachers and club patrons,
focusing on project design, presentation skills, and prototyping.
The KAWA coordination team worked closely with UCC regional representatives
to align judging criteria, ensure fair participation, and document each school’s innovation journey.
This mentorship resulted in high-quality presentations that showcased creativity, teamwork, and technical skill.
Students demonstrated not only digital competence but also social awareness —
addressing community challenges in education, environment, and agriculture.
