Here is the poster UP-PLASTIC: Pre-event for Go Green week February 23, 2018 |
It was a honor and a privilege
to be
invited by two student
teams, one from Makerere University college of Engineering Design Art and Technology,
and another from Alto university in Finland, who have been working to solve problems
based in communities through learning, example, turning plastic waste into valuable
products, was done during the workshop
at CEDAT.
Students have innovated oven
that melts plastics into bricks for construction.

I hope this is the only way how
challenges will be solved though higher #institutions# of learning working with
local communities to solve problems in the societies as well fill the gap
between higher institutions of learning and grass root communities.
Thanks #Alto

The project
is collaboration between Makerere University and Alto University was brought
to live within the three-year Problem-Based-Learning (PBL) East Africa
initiative, which brings together multidisciplinary student teams from four
universities to develop sustainable solutions to community challenges in
2017–2020 and aims to strengthen Problem-Based Education in East African
Universities. Learn more about PBL East Africa here:www.aaltoglobalimpact.org/pbl-east-africa
We thank
makerere University and Alto University for providing us the venue to showcase our
work while engaging in UP-PLASTIC:
