Teachers begin the 2020 Yiya engineering unit on edible insects farming, with a food foraging game! Later they count the protein score for their team of the gathered foods (written on small slips of scrap paper! Nothing gets wasted at Yiya 💪) #sustainableprotein
After a successful marshmallow challenge, teachers are proud of their spaghetti towers! This is how Yiya does team building while also showing the value of the iterative engineering design process!
The big day is finally here! Today Yiya is introducing our newest engineering unit into schools in Northern Uganda!!! We are kicking off with a training for our partner teachers and they have already started arriving at the venue ready for the big day 🥳🥳🥳
School Leaders arrived bright and early this morning for our Annual Yiya Head Teacher meeting, to kick off academic year 2020 in our partner schools! Now we have a full house! #STEMeducation
Yiya Innovations Fellow Eng. Sheeba gives directions for the marshmallow challenge, the very first activity of the day at our Annual Head Teacher Workshop. This event kicks off the 2020 Yiya Program in our partner schools in Lira, Northern Uganda!
The Marshmallow Challenge is ON! Head Teachers from Yiya partner schools in Northern Uganda are participating in the engineering team building activity during our Yiya Annual Head Teacher workshop to kick off the 2020 Yiya Program! @tomwujec #STEMeducation
It was such an exciting moment having the school heads play the Loop-de-loop Game. They were all mesmerized at how they couldn't get out of the Loop. The lesson they learnt was that they also don't know everything despite being school heads! #STEMeducation
During our Annual Head Teacher workshop, the school heads have had rich discussions about the way forward for the Yiya program in their schools this year! #STEMeducation
At our Annual Head Teacher workshop today, it wasn’t just work and no play...school leaders played simple short games called energizers throughout the day. This helped remind them that, in a Yiya classroom, learning is fun!
95% attendance today at Yiya’s Annual Head Teacher workshop in Lira, Northern Uganda. We’re deeply honored that so many School Leaders took time out of their busy schedules to kick off the 2020 Yiya Program! #africanstem #engineeringabetterworld #yiyapartners
Today Head Teachers from our partner schools kicked off the 2020 Yiya Program in Northern Uganda. Many thanks to @usmissionuganda for supporting our newest unit: farming edible insects using agricultural engineering, to supplement school lunches and reduce childhood malnutrition!
