Role
Founder

Founded ASIST in 2015 to put hands-on STEM and robotics within reach of every Ugandan learner.

A journalist by background, Arinaitwe started ASIST as a single Young Engineers franchise and grew it into the umbrella organisation it is today, running six programmes, an innovation hub and the national championship.

He leads strategy and partnerships, and champions the belief that practical, project-based learning is how the next generation of African innovators is built.
