Statement of Purpose

My fascination with space engineering began during my undergraduate studies in computer engineering, where I focused on embedded systems and data processing. My passion was cemented by my role in designing and developing Uganda's first satellite. This project provided me with practical experience in system engineering, hardware-software integration, and robust communication protocols.

Building on this foundation, my professional work has centered on developing CubeSats for economic transformation for my country. I am confident that my unique background and practical experience in satellite development will allow me to contribute significantly to UNISEC Global programs and advance space technology for societal benefit.

Feedback from CLTP14

• The CanSat Leadership Training Program (CLTP) was a game-changer for me. Even though I had a background in satellite development. It gave me a fantastic, hands-on opportunity to understand the complete satellite development process using HEPTA-Sat.
• The key take home were the insights on how to break down complex topics like systems engineering, integration, and testing into understandable steps for future educators and students. This experience will be instrumental in teaching the next generation of space engineers.

Vision for the future

The core of my vision is to transition from being a student of space technology to becoming a catalyst for local space education and development, using the principles and hands-on experience of CLTP.

1. Vision for Education: Vreating Future Leaders.
   Establishing training center, Intergrate CanSat into Curriculum and Mentor a 'Net-Gen' Team.
2. Vision for Technology: Launching Local Capacity
   Develop a Baseline Local Satellite, focus on local needs, and establish a ground station.
3. Vision for Collaboration: Expanding the CLTP Network
   Forge new partberships, Seek internation support and contributre to CLTP.

Message for future CLTP participants

"Congratulations on being selected for the CanSat Leader Training Program (CLTP)!"

Embrace the Intensity and the Challenges

Three Key Takeaways from CLTP 14:

1. Trust the Process (and the Schedule): The timeline is tight, and the learning curve is steep. You will feel pressure, and you will encounter setbacks (wires will break, code will fail, things won't fit). This is the nature of space engineering. Embrace the systematic approach taught by the instructors.
2. The CanSat is the Tool, Not the Goal: While launching you CanSat might be exciting, the real purpose of CLTP is to teach you how to become a leader and educator in space technology. Focus on understanding the why behind every step and absorbing the teaching methodologies. Your mission is to take this knowledge back to your home country and inspire the next generation of engineers.
3. Build Your Network: You are learning alongside future space leaders from around the globe. These connections are invaluable. Work together, solve problems together, and get to know your cohort. The global CLTP family will be your most important resource long after the training is over.
