The Institute of Computer Science in Conjunction with Google is rolling out a project that is aimed at encouraging the girl child to take up STEM related subjects while still in High school. The program is for selected Girls secondary schools.

We intend to visit the selected schools and give talks about Girls in STEM: 
  1. Opportunities/challenges, and way forward for girls in STEM
  2. STEM courses in Institutions/colleges and how to prepare for them
  3. STEM Careers 
  4. Misconceptions about STEM subjects 
  5. STEM and National development/Relevancy of STEM
The selected schools include the following:
  1. Kashenshero girls
  2. Kyeibare girls
  3. Maseruka girls
  4. Victory girls
  5. St. Agnes girls
  6. St. Cecilia Girls
  7. Kibingo Girls
  8. Kashaka girls
