About MakerForge

A maker workshop you can open in any browser — design a part, figure out how it would really be built, wire a circuit, and iterate.

What you can do

  • Print Lab — size up a 3D-printed part and predict whether it prints clean, needs support, or warps. That’s designing for how it’s made — the skill that separates a drawing from a thing you can actually build.
  • Circuit Bench — read a small circuit, predict what happens, then run it and trace the whole loop. A light glows only when the loop is complete.
  • Concept Kits — 400 questions across the design process, materials, circuits, and fabrication, with a hint after a first miss and an explanation every time.

🛠️ A note about real tools

Everything in MakerForge is safe to explore on screen. But real 3D printers, soldering irons, and cutting tools always need a grown-up first. Mill, the workshop’s builder, says it best: “Tool first checked. Adult first told. Then we build.”
