Our Mission
Novar is an interdisciplinary Innovation Lab and Community built on one concept: art and technology belong together. We bring together creators across disciplines to create projects that solve real-world problems. At Novar, creativity isn't a hobby. It's a tool for change. Through hands-on projects, workshops, and sustainable innovation, we turn imagination into reality and help creators leave a mark on their communities, their careers, and your future. If you're tired of choosing between creative passion and technical skills, welcome home.
Our Focus
Creative Tech and R&D
We fuse art and technology to build the future of Tech and Art. From apps and AR tech to smart props, prototypes, and simulation tools, we design practical, sustainable solutions born from real-world collaboration. If you can imagine it, we're already creating it together.
Interdisciplinary Workshops
We bring creators together across disciplines to build real-world projects that drive innovation and strengthen communities. At Novar, collaboration is our foundation. Every project we create is designed to empower individuals, spark new ideas, and give back to the communities we grow with.
Empowerment and Recognition
At Novar, students and emerging creators don't just learn; they build real projects, forge powerful networks, and earn the recognition that launches careers and improves communities.
Community Innovation
Novar is where creators come together to turn imagination into impact. We build dynamic spaces where communities invent solutions, share knowledge, and grow stronger together.
Our Vision

Our Story
I'm Yousef Mirza, the founder of Novar.
Like many others, my creative journey started early, full of imagination and passion. But as I grew older, creativity was pushed aside in favor of "realistic choices." I chose a stable career path, studying Computer Science and Electronics Engineering, believing that was the safer future.
Ironically, it was there, in the world of algorithms and circuits, that my creative passions reignited. I discovered that my imagination didn't hinder my technical work — it fueled it. Creativity and technology weren't opposites; they were meant to work together.
Novar was born from that realization. We needed a community where people like me could come together, not to choose between creativity and technical skill, but to create the future by combining both.
If you believe creativity and technology belong together, you've already found your place.
Welcome to Novar.
