The Countdown Has Begun!
Excitement is building as schools across Uganda make their final preparations for the Edify EdTech Exhibition 2026, scheduled to take place on Friday, 10th July 2026 at the Makerere University School of Public Health Auditorium, Eastern Gate, Bombo Road, Wandegeya, Kampala.
The exhibition will bring together primary and secondary schools to showcase innovative learner-led projects that demonstrate how technology can be used to solve real-world challenges while promoting Christian values and competence-based learning.
Under the theme:
“Transforming Christ-Centered Education with Technology”
the exhibition seeks to celebrate creativity, innovation, problem-solving, and digital skills among learners while encouraging schools to embrace technology as a tool for transformative education.
What Makes a Strong Exhibition Project?
Participating schools are encouraged to ensure that their projects:
- Address real challenges affecting learners, schools, churches, or communities.
- Demonstrate clear technological innovation.
- Integrate Christian values such as service, integrity, stewardship, compassion, excellence, and discipleship.
- Align with Uganda’s Competency-Based Curriculum and the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
- Show potential for sustainability beyond the exhibition.
The initiative also aligns with Uganda’s Ministry of Education and Sports Digital Agenda Strategy, which promotes digital skills development and grassroots innovation among learners.
Exhibition Categories
Schools will showcase projects under four exciting categories:
1. Creative Multimedia
Educational posters, digital storytelling, video production, animations, and multimedia presentations developed using tools such as Canva, PowerPoint, CapCut, OBS Studio, and YouTube.
2. STEM and Robotics
Projects involving sensors, circuits, robotics, engineering concepts, and technology-integrated curriculum projects that demonstrate innovation and problem-solving.
3. Coding and Creating Apps
Learner-developed applications and software solutions using beginner-friendly tools such as Scratch and MIT App Inventor.
4. Creating Websites
Web publishing projects developed using WordPress, Google Sites, HTML, and other web development tools.
Don’t Forget the Touch-Typing Challenge
In addition to the project categories, learners will compete in a Touch-Typing Challenge designed to test speed and accuracy. Schools are encouraged to help learners practice regularly using Typing Master and other typing software ahead of the exhibition.
Preparing an Outstanding Project Pitch
One of the most important aspects of the exhibition is the project presentation. Learners should be prepared to confidently explain:
- The problem being addressed.
- Their proposed solution.
- The technology used.
- The impact of the project.
- Future sustainability plans.
Judges will be looking for innovation, clarity, teamwork, presentation skills, and the ability to demonstrate how technology can create meaningful change.
