A visit to King's College, Budo, one of the most elite secondary schools in Uganda
The well-manicured campus was a sharp contrast to the conditions of the rural schools where our workshop participants taught
But there were still chickens wandering through campus
The physics teachers' lounge
Installing the simulations
This school had plenty of laboratory equipment
The physics teachers were very enthusiastic about the simulations
