TechX Uganda 2026 Tree Planting: One Participant, One Tree
One participant, one tree. Join IEEE CS SYP TechX Uganda 2026 for a day of environmental action, hosted by the IEEE Makerere University Student Branch and its IEEE Computer Society Student Branch Chapter, with IEEE branches at Ndejje, Ernest Cook, Kyambogo, ISBAT and Mbarara.
This is the opening of a three-day journey on the theme "Engineering Sustainable Communities Through Technology". Before we build on 11 December and meet for D-Day on 12 December, we start by putting trees in the ground.
Two ways to take part:
Plant on campus. Join organizers and volunteers to plant in zones set by the Makerere University Estates and Works Department. No travel needed beyond campus.
Plant at home. Collect a seedling and plant it in your hall, home, or community, wherever you are.
Every tree is tagged and logged in our shared digital tree register. Upload a geotagged photo after planting so your tree is counted, and we will check survival at 3 and 6 months.
Our goal: 200+ trees planted and tracked.
Free. Open to students from all Ugandan universities.
