“With the emerging global village competition in every sphere of life, African youth can not compete favorably with a Chinese youth on a road construction contract because the Chinese has grown up not practicing it,but has even grown up manufacturing the machinery that he uses on the road construction. This module I have got from Israel that we’re implementing at our e2 Young Engineers Uganda aims at closing some of those gaps,” Rugyendo explained on phone while contact to confirm attendance.
e2 Young Engineers programe was designed in Israel targeting to equip young children as early as 4 years with science and technology skills.The module technically targets the next generation.
