About Us

A food tower is a magical garden and an answer to limited gardening space, a common challenges of urban farming. A food tower is magical in a such a way that space needed to plant  40 crops can now grow on a  square meter food tower. At Kwagala farm, we believe you can grow crops for your household even with limited space. Let us show you how to do that when you enroll to take this training. 

In this training, I take you through the steps to construct a food tower including the necessary soil mixing needed to grow healthy and productive crops on a food tower. I have also added another training (plain farming practices) as a bonus for you.

Imagine harvesting crops on a square meter food tower for over 3 years!

This training is meant to educate the many households in Uganda keeping cattle and washing away the Cow dung. If you intend to acquire cattle, this training will be ideal for you not to miss getting a product from  Cow dung. At Kwagala Farm, we use Cow dung as a by-product of not only boi-gas but also other products such as fertilizers. For this training, we shall keep to the production of bio-gas using cow dung as a by-product. 

Vertical farming is cultivating plants life within a skyscraper greenhouse or on vertically inclined surfaces. We shall look at how to do vertical farming using the resources available. Vertical farming is an ideal form of doing urban farming.  Wikipedia-Vertical farming is the practice of producing food and medicine in vertically stacked layers, vertically inclined surfaces and/or integrated with other structures (such as in a skyscraper, used warehouse, or shipping container).

Course overview and aim:
These lessons are easily digestible lessons focused on aerospace principles. Each lesson is broken down into grade levels and is meant to spark conversation and interest in aerospace. Lessons will range from engineering to mathematics, to physics, to highlighting aerospace anniversaries -- all of which will be presented in a way that easily relates to your students. For this programme, we have 63 lessons in all.
The online STEM Education and Aerospace Micro-Lesson is designed to inspire, influence, and mold the next generation of aerospace scientists and engineers by providing a series of resources and programming to teachers, students, parents, and aerospace professionals. The programs enlighten and engage our global community of future aerospace professionals by helping them learn more about science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. The developing countries have suffered a series of decadence in Aerospace and STEM Education, therefore our mission is to stimulate a lasting interest in the STEM disciplines, with the goal of encouraging students to pursue careers in these fields.  This is accomplished by actively involving students in the support of authentic research currently being conducted on the International Space Station (ISS) or in a NASA ground-based laboratory. Through collaboration with AIAA, Space Foundation and researchers, we have created educational mini-curriculum for the university, college, high school or middle school classroom that engages students as research assistants, providing data for the Principal Investigator.  

We aim to promote Aerospace and STEM Sciences in Africa. 

 Audience: Age 10 - 30, Boys and Girls, Men and women

This  course provides a general introduction to project management, ranging from the project planning process - setting up project aims and objectives and budgeting - to adoption and structure. It uses a variety of useful project planning tools, including risk analysis and management. It also examines the role of project manager and project team.

This course is an introduction to software engineering, using the Java™ programming language. It covers concepts useful to programming students. Students will learn the fundamentals of Java. The focus is on developing high quality, working software that solves real problems.

The course is designed for students with some programming experience, but if you have none and are motivated you will do just fine. Each class is composed of one hour of lecture and one hour of lab work. It's intended to support your programming journey as an A''level vacationist or a university student doing Java programming. 

Installing Java and Eclipse

To write Java programs, you need two things: the Java Development Kit (JDK), and a source code editor. Please follow these directions before the first class, so you can get started on the first assignment faster. If you run into difficulty, we can help you during the first class.

The Java Development Kit contains the tools needed to compile and run Java programs. The source code editor lets you write programs, and has features to make this easier. For this course, you can use any tool you like, but we recommend Eclipse, and will demonstrate it during the first lecture. Details on downloading (Open source) and installing the required software are provided on the dashboard. 

This Course includes;

• Types, variables, operators
  
• More types, methods, conditionals
  
• Loops and arrays
• Objects and classes
  
• Access control, class scope, packages, Java API
  
• Design, debugging, interfaces
  
• Inheritance, exceptions, file I/O

Graphic design, also known as communication design, is the art and practice of planning and projecting ideas and experiences with visual and textual content. The form it takes can be physical or virtual and can include images, words, or graphics. The experience can take place in an instant or over a long period of time. The work can happen at any scale, from the design of a single postage stamp to a national postal signage system.

Electromagnetic field theory(emf) is the most fundamental subject in the curriculum of electrical and electronics engineering education. Electromagnetic field theory defines is basic for abstraction of circuit theory. capacitors, inductors and resistors, current and voltage are expressed here in terms of its primary electric and magnetic quantities like electric charge, electric potential, electric current, electric and magnetic flux. 

Electromagnetic field theory explains universal concepts in the three-dimension real world. it is the basis for understanding electromagnetic wave propagation phenomena.
