Kampala, Uganda – The Quantum School of Computing, Artificial Intelligence, and Robotics has been launched alongside two transformative initiatives aimed at revolutionizing Uganda’s agricultural sector and addressing the gender disparity in the ICT workforce.

The introduction of Sky-Harvest Uganda and the Her Code Her Future Foundation marks a significant step toward leveraging advanced technologies for societal progress.
“At the Quantum School, we believe in the power of technology to solve societal challenges. Sky-Harvest Uganda will transform agriculture, and Her Code Her Future will empower women to take their rightful place in Uganda’s ICT workforce. Together, these initiatives will drive progress, equity, and sustainability,” said Prof. Robert Steven Owor, Executive Director, Center for Innovation and Emerging Technologies, Albany State University.
Sky-Harvest Uganda: Modernizing Agriculture with AI and Blockchain
Sky-Harvest Uganda is designed to harness the power of NASA’s satellite data and Sky-Harvest Blockchain technology to modernize agriculture.
This initiative provides farmers with real-time insights into critical factors such as rainfall patterns, soil health, temperature fluctuations, and pest activity. These insights will enable data-driven decision-making, leading to increased yields, optimized resource usage, and greater resilience against climate change.
Additionally, the integration of Sky-Harvest Blockchain technology ensures transparency and traceability in the agricultural value chain. Features such as smart contracts will streamline transactions between farmers and buyers, while blockchain-based tools will facilitate access to credit, insurance, and broader markets, fostering financial inclusion for rural farmers.
Her Code Her Future Foundation: Empowering Women in Tech
The Her Code Her Future Foundation is a groundbreaking initiative committed to increasing female participation in Uganda’s ICT sector, where women currently account for only 18% of the workforce.
