DataForge
Visual, block-based data science environment where players collect, clean, analyze, and visualize real-world datasets
Meet your mentor
Every Spark & Anvil app has a friendly mentor character that demonstrates, praises, and patiently scaffolds learning. On-device AI personalizes the mentor's responses to your kid's progress — never connecting to a server, never collecting data.
#29B6F6 DataForge is a data science playground where you explore real-world information! Build data pipelines by connecting blocks, create colorful charts and graphs, and test your ideas about what the data means. Think of it as building with blocks, but instead of towers, you build discoveries.
What's inside
Pipeline Builder
Drag data blocks onto the canvas and connect them. Start with a dataset block (your information), add filter blocks (to focus on what matters), and finish with
Datasets
Explore real-world datasets about topics like weather, animals, sports, and more. Each dataset is a collection of facts waiting for you to discover patterns.
Charts and Graphs
Turn numbers into pictures! Create bar charts, line graphs, pie charts, and scatter plots. The right chart can reveal patterns that are hidden in raw numbers.
Hypothesis Testing
Make a guess about what the data will show, then build a pipeline to test it. Were you right? Either way, you learn something new!
How DataForge handles your kid's data
- ✅ All progress, settings, and AI-generated content stays on the device
- ✅ No analytics, no tracking, no third-party SDKs
- ✅ No ads, no in-app purchases — you pay once
- ✅ COPPA compliant under the 2026 FTC amendments
- ✅ Parental controls + session limits + content filters built in
DataForge runs on ForgeKit — the open-source Swift Package Manager framework that powers every Spark & Anvil app. ForgeKit ensures consistent accessibility, COPPA compliance, and design language across the portfolio, so your kid's progress and preferences feel coherent across every app they touch.
