Welcome to the African School of Innovations Science and Technology (ASIST) Ltd. A Ugandan STEAM organisation that runs an international Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Maths (STEAM) and robotics educational enrichment programs for children aged between 4-17 years using the e2 Young Engineers curriculum.
Locally founded and locally led, The program runs in primary and secondary schools, ASIST Centres and other educational nstitutions to nurture the next generation of scientists, innovators, problem solvers, entrepreneurs and creative thinkers.
As the children gain skills through our key pedagogical stages, they come to learn, enjoy and gain a deeper understanding of science and technology in preparation for their future careers.
Our idea is, therefore, to nurture and build a critical mass of uniquely innovative Ugandan youth, right from early learning childhood, to ready them for the project based lower secondary
curriculum in national schools, also for the ever-changing demands of the 21st-century workforce. The guiding model of the ASIST Program is to provide knowledge and its hands-on practical implementation in STEAM basics. Our fun, engaging, up-to-date and fulfilling methods of teaching and learning take children through practical stages until they exit with a practical project for implementation in the market.
We strive to be committed to the students, we are privileged to serve, in our alumni association, our dedicated, talented faculty and staff. We also take pride in having the most active and helpful group of partners, visionary parents, well-wishers, alumni and friends.
