Abstract
In July 2019, we ran the 3rd International BRIGHT
summer school for Software Engineering and Information
Systems at the Makerere University in Kampala, Uganda.
The participants developed a group project over the course of
the week, which included the application of the Sustainability
Awareness Framework. The framework promotes discussion
on the impact of software systems on sustainability based on
a set of questions.
In this paper, we present the educational evaluation of
the Sustainability Awareness Framework in a country in Sub-
Saharan Africa. The results indicate that the framework can
provide supportive guidance of the societal and environmental
challenges in the given context.
