Special Interest
WeatherForge
Build weather instruments, track real storms, predict tomorrow's weather, and simulate the forces behind Earth's most powerful phenomena.
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.
#FFA726 WeatherForge is a meteorology and storm science lab for ages 9-14 where players build weather instruments, track real storms using live weather data, predict tomorrow's weather, and simulate the forces behind Earth's most powerful phenomena — hurricanes, tornadoes, thunderstorms, and blizzards.
Distributed-narrative cast
Meet the cast
WeatherForge teaches meteorology as a **family of atmospheric processes** — pressure systems, air masses, fronts, storm formation, water cycle, and forecasting reasoning.
Press
Air pressure & circulation (highs/lows + wind direction)
Mass
Air masses & fronts (warm vs cold, moist vs dry)
Loft
Water cycle & lifting (evaporation, condensation, precipitation)
Brew
Storm formation (instability + moisture + lifting)
Read
Forecasting & reasoning (synthesizing data into prediction)
What's inside
Learning goal
Build weather instruments, track real storms, predict tomorrow's weather, and simulate the forces behind Earth's most powerful phenomena.
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 Gale — on-device AI, no data leaves the device.
How WeatherForge 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
WeatherForge 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.
