Description
The teaching of Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics concepts posses some challenges in quite a number of developing nations. This is due in part to the lack of adequate laboratories and/or equipment that can be used for demonstration. It is also challenging to conduct experiments with classes whose numbers more than double the optimum class sizes.
We mitigate such challenges by using well selected Astronomy & Space science concepts already embedded in the new Ugandan secondary school curriculum during our nationwide outreach program.
We report the results from the recently conducted outreach in a metropolitan region, and the challenges faced.
The two year-long nationwide outreach program suggests that the diversity in the equipment and standards of the schools necessitates high flexibility in the activities planned for learners.
