10 Million Shillings Funding for Mugana Solar System Teaching Device

TLDR

• Mr Rutta encountered the same obstacle before receiving approximately 10 million shillings (about US$4,000) through one of COSTECH’s innovation support programmes.
• Since its development, the technology has been introduced in more than 50 public and private schools, with adoption progressing faster in private institutions because of more flexible procurement systems.
• At the centre of this effort is the Mugana Solar System Teaching Device, developed by Tanzanian inventor Boniphace Rutta, founder of African Invention Company.
• The Mugana Solar System Teaching Device was designed to change that.
• Now they can observe how planets move in relation to one another, making astronomy much easier to understand.” Unlike conventional teaching aids, the device combines mechanical and electronic systems to demonstrate.
