MUHOKO @ NUST SOCIETY

FOREWORD BY THE FOUNDER: MUHOKO   

Dear members and friends of the Society,

I am happy to introduce to you the Muhoko @ NUST Society. Last year, Muhoko had the unique opportunity to successfully showcase its first ever prototypes at the Windhoek showgrounds. In addition, Muhoko won best prototype development in our first year during the Computer and informatics faculty research at Namibia University of Science and Technology against master students. This were extremely amazing and positive experiences, and I want to thank the organizers and all individuals that helped us along the way.
Muhoko is a group of first years that took the first step to innovation instead of waiting to be told on what to do. We took initiative to create a computer-based game called Muhoko Runner, this game set inventiveness to a blast. As we move along the days Muhoko became a trailblazer for young innovators to follow, thru the development of prototyping mobile applications, that did not only improve individuals at large but communities also. Muhoko is a path one shadows as its made up of different environments and cultures. We have a Namibian culture, Malawian, Angolan, Kenyan and not limited to Zambian environment.  In short Muhoko is a scientific test tube with an African heritage of creativeness.

Muhoko at NUST Society plans on amplifying its trail and path of innovativeness to anyone interested in an environment with a major rule of ‘’if you want it, you have to dream it and then build it for one to be able to play it’’. For many years people perished with their ideas of greatness with a major reason of not STARTING but procrastinating because time did not feel right. The society is the starting point of greatness as to it, time is just another challenge that needs to be mastered and together in the society with all our differences in our backgrounds we will conquer all that stand in our way.

Muhoko is a group of first years that are innovative and the society aim is to keep it that way. ‘’Influence an eagle with chickens and it will leave its life believing it can never fly, influence students with Muhoko ignite resourcefulness.”, and I quote Victor P Nendongo.
