Our vision is Creating a deeper understanding of scientific method. We advance it by giving young people serious opportunities to investigate, test, defend and communicate science - from sustained research to national competition and international representation.
Our programmes are different expressions of one pathway: research deeply, compete nationally, then open doors to the world.
Months of investigation turn research problems into evidence, reports and scientific understanding.
The strongest teams meet in scientific competition - presenting, opposing, reviewing and defending ideas.
Outstanding young scientists move into opportunities to represent Uganda at international Olympiads and tournaments.
The Uganda National Science Olympiad is SOFU's flagship national programme, bringing together young scientists from schools across Uganda through research, scientific presentation, argument, teamwork and competition.
Sometimes, Nationals are only the beginning. SOFU prepares and supports Ugandan delegations for selected international competitions.
