The first season was so successful and it is now broadcast on 44 networks in 14 African countries. It also reached the USA,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>UVRI assistant director, Ms Jennifer Serwanga said teaching children science -visually- will simplify learning.<\/p>\n<p>The line director Peripheral Vision International (PVI), Mr Davidson Mugume said N*Gen is aimed at making science content easily available.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSeason one was more of a teaching experience where the teachers took us through different science topics. In season two, we want to make it more interactive. That is why we are having children interact with experts which brings out their curiosity and children learn better from their fellow children,\u201d he observed.<\/p>\n<p><b>[email protected]<\/b><\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/uganda\">Uganda<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Uganda.
