Kyambogo University PRE-STEAM Conference (22-23 April 2024) - DAY 1

The third edition of the STEAM(Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics) Festival, an initiative pioneered by the Faculty of Science. This festival serves as a platform to showcase and disseminate groundbreaking research innovations and pedagogical interventions from various faculties. Initially centered around Science, Technology, Engineering, Agriculture, and Mathematics, the festival has evolved to encompass Vocational Studies, Special Needs Education, Humanities, Social Sciences, Business Studies, Art and Industrial Design among others, reflecting Kyambogo University’s commitment to inclusivity and comprehensive knowledge dissemination.

As part of the 3rd Edition of the STEAM Festival, a two-day Pre-festival Conference has been organised to encourage staff and postgraduate students to disseminate their research findings.

@MakerereU We build for the future or DESTROY THE FUTURE. Why must alumni present certified documents from the same University?

[Savannah Nuwagaba @SavannahBrea]

@agentzee I encourage the youth to embrace their uniqueness because only then will innovation be at its highest.

[Savannah Nuwagaba @SavannahBrea]

@agentzee Especially with the phobia around mathematics

[Savannah Nuwagaba @SavannahBrea]

@agentzee Great opportunities. Yes. But makes me feel a great responsibility to encourage young women and girls to join me.

[Savannah Nuwagaba @SavannahBrea]

@agentzee I look forward to a world where women can grow and contribute without sacrificing certain aspects of their lives.

[Savannah Nuwagaba @SavannahBrea]

@agentzee The balance between being #WomenInScience and 'life' has been a challenge

[Savannah Nuwagaba @SavannahBrea]

@agentzee In fact, I had to become a tomboy to enjoy my mathematics. I am glad this trend is changing.

[Savannah Nuwagaba @SavannahBrea]

@agentzee Not as many. And the few who were there were considered 'not normal' women

[Savannah Nuwagaba @SavannahBrea]

@agentzee Ofcos, they were the only female lectures there

[Savannah Nuwagaba @SavannahBrea]

@agentzee But also, I admired the two lectures of mathematics who were in the department them

[Savannah Nuwagaba @SavannahBrea]

@agentzee The realization that mathematics could be used to understand biological systems took me back to my childhood 'why' questions

[Savannah Nuwagaba @SavannahBrea]

@agentzee But ofcos I didn't end up being one.

[Savannah Nuwagaba @SavannahBrea]

@agentzee I desired to be a pilot and the only way was to do science
