MakerForge

A maker workshop in your browser — design a part, figure out how it would really be built, wire up a circuit, and iterate.

Level 1

For grown-ups — progress report →A private, on-device snapshot mapped to the skill areas practiced. Export a CSV or print — nothing leaves this device.

Design, fabricate & practise

Three hands-on surfaces. Everything runs on your device; nothing is sent anywhere.

🔀 Mixed practice Revisit what you’ve learned — a round that shuffles together the kits you’ve practiced, resurfaced when they’re ready to review. MakerForge Sprint — a calm speed round → Once you’ve mastered a few kits, race your OWN best on what you already know. Timer optional, no penalty for a miss. Print Lab Size up a 3D-printed part — its overhangs, bridges, and how it grips the bed — then predict whether it prints clean, needs support, or warps. This is what makers call designing for how it’s made. Design for manufacture Circuit Bench Read a little circuit, predict what happens — lights up, stays dark, shorts out, or burns out the LED — then run it and trace the whole loop with your finger. Circuits Concept Kits 16 quiz kits — 400 questions across the design process, materials, circuits, and fabrication — with a hint after a first miss and an explanation every time. Practice

16 kits · 400 questions · ages 9–14 · NGSS engineering design (MS-ETS1)

🛠️ Mill’s workshop rule

Everything here is safe to explore in your browser. But real 3D printers, soldering irons, and cutting tools always need a grown-up first: “Tool first checked. Adult first told. Then we build.”

Play together

Same-device or online — take turns over the concept kits, or follow the quest path through all 16.

🎮 Maker Duel 2–4 players take turns on one device (or start an online room) — same questions, highest first-try score wins. 🗺️ Maker Quest Follow a progression path through all 16 kits — clear each stop, then move on.
