UGHE Hosts Butaro Students on Campus for Science Day

Students from UGHE and G.S. Runaba Secondary School joined for a day of scientific experiments at UGHE’s campus in Butaro.

On February 26th, 2020, UGHE hosted students from G.S. Runaba Secondary School in Butaro for UGHE’s first Science Day. Hosted by the Department for Community Health and Social Medicine and facilitated by MGHD students, the day saw students from G.S. Runaba learning about various science topics such as lung capacity, electrolysis, diffusion, and more. See photos from the event below.
