Areas of Operation

Uganda

Uganda is where the Jdiobe STEM Foundation began. We work directly with schools, teachers, and communities to remove the practical barriers that keep capable students out of science and engineering.

On the ground

What our work in Uganda looks like

Scholarships

Tuition, materials, and travel support so cost is never the reason a student stops.

Classroom & lab

Practical workshops that connect the syllabus to real tools and real problems.

Mentorship

Local educators and STEM professionals walking with each cohort through the year.

Innovation

Student-led builds in robotics, assistive technology, and sustainable design.

Programme

Hands-on STEM education

Workshops and school partnerships that put equipment in students' hands. Learners move from theory to circuits, sensors, and structures they build and test themselves.

  • School-based practical sessions and science fairs
  • Teacher training and shared teaching materials
  • Project kits built from accessible, local materials

Programme

Student-led innovation

Teams identify a problem in their own community and build toward it — assistive devices, robotics, translation tools, environmental monitoring. The brief is always local.

Looking ahead

Where we are focusing next in Uganda

Deepening what already works, and extending it to more schools and districts.

  • More partner schools per district
  • Expanded scholarship intake
  • Teacher training and shared curriculum
  • University and industry pathways
