Uganda celebrates its tech entrepreneurs
Three students from the Makerere University College of Computing and Information Scienceshave won the Microsoft Imagine Cup Grant worth $50,000 for their project WinSenga, a smartphone app that performs ultrasounds on pregnant women and can detect problems like ectopic pregnancies and abnormal heartbeats. The winning, Team Cipher256, consists of Aaron Tushabe, Joshua Okello, and Josiah Kavuma.
The story of 16-year-old Ugandan chess star Phiona Mutesi who is beating the odds and making waves on the international chess scene.
