ScienceForge
Virtual Science Lab & Experiment Builder — kids design real experiments, run virtual simulations, collect data, and build science fair presentations, guided by Prism (the AI mentor) at every step of the scientific method. Ages 9-14.
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.

#26C6DA Distributed-narrative cast
Meet the cast
ScienceForge's 5-character LESSONS cast embodies the scientific method — each stage is a tween-mentor character. Question (a wren who asks), Predict (a fox who hypothesizes), Setup (a beaver who designs the experiment), Sample (a cat who collects data), Conclude (an owl who interprets evidence). Prism is the mentor — splitting inquiry into observable wavelengths. The cluster-shared WORLD anchor (Look / Wonder / Probe / Again) is generated here first.
Question
Question-formation — 'what do we want to find out?' (curious wren-tween)

Predict
Hypothesis-formation — 'I think... because... so we should see...' (steady fox-tween)
Read chapter →
Setup
Experiment-design — 'one thing changes, everything else stays' (methodical beaver-tween)
Read chapter →
Sample
Data-collection + measurement — 'many measurements; then we see the shape' (patient cat-tween)
Read chapter →
Conclude
Data-interpretation + revision — 'the data shows... but maybe... let's check' (thoughtful owl-tween)

Question kits
16 curriculum-aligned kits × 25 questions = 400 questions per app, mapped to recognized standards.
On-device AI mentor
FoundationModels-powered hints, feedback, and adaptive difficulty — all running locally.
Mentored by Prism — on-device AI, no data leaves the device.
How ScienceForge 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
ScienceForge 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.
