Meet Our Founders

“Vision is not about seeing the stars, it’s about building the engines that take us there.”

“Every great discovery begins with curiosity, the courage to ask, ‘what if?’ and the patience to find out.”

Discover the visionaries behind Network of Visionary Aerospace and Engineering Aspirants (NOVA), a community dedicated to inspiring and uniting young minds in aerospace, physics, and engineering. Founded to turn curiosity into innovation, NOVA provides a platform for collaboration, research, mentorship, and the next generation of scientific explorers.

Our co-founders, Ataklti Tesfay and Brook Gugsa, began their journey with a shared dream: to make science accessible, dynamic, and impactful. Together, they believe in opening doors for aspiring engineers and physicists by creating a space where ideas soar.
