ABOUT THIS PROJECT >

Greening Serere Township is an interdisciplinary, place-based STEM project developed by the science teachers of Serere Township Secondary School and Annalise Klein, a science educator in California, USA.

 

This project was designed to give students the opportunity to apply scientific knowledge to solve real life problems. Serere Township is an agriculture community in Eastern Uganda where soil erosion during the rainy season can cause destructive erosion and decimation of vegetation. 

​

Through scientific research, collaboration, and hands-on experiences, the students of STSS are developing real, creative solutions to their community’s problem.
