Science and Innovation: Our Focus
At JOVENS HIGH SCHOOL, ENTEBBE, we have a dream for our learners. It’s a dream of a future where they are the innovators, the creators, and the problem-solvers. From the moment a student enters our classrooms, they are taught that science and innovation are not just subjects—they are the way forward. The world they are stepping into is filled with challenges, and here at JOVENS, we believe that every challenge is an opportunity to create something new, to push the boundaries of what’s possible.
Sarah, one of our students, embodies this vision. Sarah always had a fascination with science, but it wasn’t until she joined JOVENS that her passion truly ignited. In her first year, Sarah worked on a simple school project—a model volcano, complete with bubbling lava. She loved it, but something inside her wanted more. Her teachers saw her potential and encouraged her to push further. “What if,” one teacher asked, “you could solve a real-world problem with your ideas?”
That question lit a spark in Sarah. She started working on a new project—this time, a solar-powered water purifier. It wasn’t easy, and there were days when she felt like giving up, but JOVENS isn’t just about the ‘what’; it’s about the ‘how’. We taught her that science isn’t only about facts and formulas—it’s about innovation, about asking ‘what if’ and then finding the answer.
With the support of her teachers and peers, Sarah completed her project. She presented it at the school’s annual Science and Innovation Fair, and to her surprise, her purifier worked. But more than that, it represented something bigger: the belief that she could change the world. Sarah learned that science and innovation are not distant goals—they are within reach.
At JOVENS, every student is a potential innovator. We believe that science isn’t confined to the laboratory; it lives in the curious minds of our learners. From biology to technology, from chemistry to engineering, we encourage our students to think beyond the textbooks, to innovate, and to use science as a tool for real-world impact.
