Bringing STEM to Life in Tanzania

Born from the vision to democratize quality STEM education across East Africa

Our Story

NovaTech Labs was founded in Mwanza, Tanzania, with a bold mission: to ensure every Tanzanian student has access to world-class STEM education, regardless of their school's resources or location.

We've seen firsthand how students in Dar es Salaam, Arusha, and rural villages across Tanzania hunger for hands-on learning experiences. Traditional education leaves them unprepared for the digital economy. NovaTech Labs changes that.

Our Portable Maker Space brings robotics, coding, electronics, and engineering directly to secondary schoolsโ€”creating the next generation of African innovators, engineers, and problem-solvers.
