UNESCO and Ministry of Education in partnership with IEEE Uganda section on T.O.T IEEE REACH program

The T.O.T involved contextualising IEEE REACH content for training secondary school teachers

We have successfully finished a two-day IEEE member training under IEEE REACH program Followed by a two-day teachers' training, we were trained on how to make science easy to the learners,this included a series of trainings such as..
-IEEE REACH awareness
-Teacher training in events of lesson planning and student assessment
- Number of topic Discussions.
With this informative training, we went ahead to train more teachers from different schools and levels which gave us a great and deeper insight as we carried on the training.
With the history of science, its more fun and interesting For learners to have their interests triggered.

Thanks to the trainers and trainees for the great representation. Team from Cavendish University, Kyambogo University ,Makerere University and Silver Bolt😊🤝🏾

So far IEEE Xtreme Global Programming Competition is going on well at Kyambogo University, Uganda

With support from IEEE Humanitarian Activities Committee, Silver Bolt Uganda donated light weight face shields to frontline health workers as a public and personal health control measure against the spread of SARS-CoV-2.

They are an item of personal protective equipment (PPE) used to protect the entire face from hazards such as chemical splashes, debris and potentially infectious fluids.

The light weight face shields were handed over by Vincent Kaabunga, IEEE and Maryanne Karamagi, Silver Bolt along-side her team. They were received by Dr. Diana Atwine the Permanent Secretary of Ministry of Health- Uganda on the 06th of October 2020.

Production of these face shields was funded by the Humanitarian Activities Committee of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and fabricated by Silver Bolt.

@Women Advancing Organization South Sudan and IEEE Volunteers are doing great job for the IDP community.

Frontline Doctors, nurses and mid wives working in protection of civilian sites (POC1) received re-usable face mask to continue serving the community in camps for internally displaced people. The hospital is managed by International Medical Corps and it serves a population of over 100 - 200 patients per day. Doctors and patients in the hospital appreciated the work being done by IEEE in collaboration with Women Advancement.

IEEE Ugabda Section delivered a number of FACE MASKS to Ministry of Health COVID-19 National Task Force with support from IEEE Humanitarian Activities Committee (HAC) for Frontline Healthcare Workers.

We shall be delivering more support in the coming days

VIRTUAL REALITY AND 9D EXPERIENCE

" I did not know about 9D - nine dimensions until when I went for Virtual Reality flight simulations in Texas ", said Ezabo Baron a technology enthusiast. It was really magical to see myself fly in the space like birds and rockets, so exciting that I needed to know how the whole system works.

That's when I came to discover that some of the virtual reality machines operate in 9D - nine dimensions, quite crazy but interesting.
