Recycled computers enable a better learning experience
Redundant PCs – refurbished and redistributed by British charity Digital Links – enable the use of specialist software to create up-to-date, interactive and exciting Science classes, in a bid to stop Ugandan girls from dropping the subject.
In Uganda, a lack of qualified Science teachers, training and resources means Science teaching is often substandard and uninspiring. UK technology charity Digital Links, Barclays, and Ugandan NGO Schoolnet have joined forces to create an exciting and low-cost solution. Schoolnet Uganda has created an innovative software and training package that brings Science to life. The project, which uses PCs donated through Digital Links, funded by Barclays, is already heading for great success in improving the dismal Science record amongst girls, as well as helping to inspire and motivate teachers. Ugandan Biology teacher Apora Patrick says:
Very cool, anything we can do to energize the learning experience has to be a good thing. An interesting read, do check it out. It’s great to see computers being used as not only an enabler to a problem, but a benefit to the educational experience for the students involved.
