Our Mission
Novar is a creative platform that empowers creators to solve real problems and give back to their communities. Through interdisciplinary projects, students and makers collaborate to invent, build, and create sustainable solutions, adding real projects to their portfolios and strengthening community ties. Our community includes those who aren't just imagining the future, they're creating it.
Our Vision
We envision a future where Novar can help communities repair, invent, and create. Community labs for kids and adults to explore their creative and technical limits, interdisciplinary exhibits, and thriving networks of creators working sustainably, Novar will be a living, growing ecosystem of innovation and impact.

The Founder
I'm Yousef Mirza, the founder of Novar. My journey started early on, much like many others. As I grew older, I watched creativity take a backseat to “realistic choices”, and I realized how many others experienced the same. And like many other, I decided to pursue a career in a stable and realistic field, but that is where my interest in creativity sparked. During my time as a Computer Science and Electronics Engineering student, I found out how my creative passion only fueled my technical abilities. I am fortunate to have found a community where I am allowed to pursue both fields and Novar was born to bridge the gap between art and technology, and to build a place where creators don't have to choose one or the other. It's a community where makers, artists, and technologists come together to invent, build, and create real change.
Join the Movement
Novar is more than a platform -it's a launchpad. If you believe creativity and technology together can shape a better world, there's a place for you here.
