Working in a multidisciplinary environment through the Factory Machine Learning Model, participants dismantled and reassembled machines, built prototypes, tested designs, and pushed their creativity to the limit across mechanical, electrical, civil, and agricultural engineering. TIER is where ideas become action, producing tangible solutions with real-world impact and shaping a generation of engineers and innovators already designing, building, and driving Uganda’s technological future. Through this initiative, engineers gained hands-on experience in Dye, Mold, and Tool (DMT), enabling the local production of various machine components and reducing reliance on imports- a major step toward Uganda’s industrial self-sufficiency.

Beyond the machines and prototypes, TIER is cultivating a mindset of possibility by inspiring a generation to imagine boldly, innovate relentlessly, and prove that Uganda’s future in engineering, industry, and technological leadership will be built by its own people. It is a stage where ingenuity takes flight, ambition meets capability, and the country’s industrial and technological future is being forged, one visionary engineer at a time.
