About us…

Two individuals wearing welding helmets working with welding equipment in a workshop.

An engineering makerspace that provides young adults access to high level tools, engineering mentorship and a variety of engineering classes.

Tools

Forge will provide access to extensive engineering tools that would be prohibitively expensive for an individual to buy and operate on their own. This will include tools such as 3D printers, laser cutters, woodworking saws and tools, metal machining tools such as mills and lathes, electronics tools for soldering, coding and circuit creation and many more. High level engineering tools such as CNC mills and SLA 3D printers, which can range in cost from thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars, would all be accessible to young engineers. Exposure and experience with these tools at a young age would greatly benefit students when going into college or the workforce. With our tools, Forge will be a space where anything can be prototyped and built.

Mentorship

While many students and parents understand the importance of exposing youth to engineering at a young age, oftentimes the main hurdle is a lack of mentorship. New engineers need mentorship to learn how to properly use tools, design parts, and make decisions based on engineering-backed principles. Forge would solve this problem by having experts in 3D printing, coding, machining, etc. always available to help guide young engineers in the right direction. Forge will have mentors available in the shop at all times to answer questions, advise on project decision or help students learn new tools. When our young engineers are stuck on a problem there will always have a mentor available to help.

Classes

Forge offers a variety of engineering classes suited to every level. Not sure where to start? Take one of our intro classes to learn basic workshop hand tools and safety procedures. Progress into our guided projects to get insight into what tools are at your disposal and learn new engineering skills and concepts. Already a pro? Take classes on new concepts or tools such as machining or woodworking. All classes emphasize project based, hands on learning and end with a personal project driven by the new skills learned from the class. We take a safety first approach, making sure that students learn the principles of how to do things safely before anything else. Check out our class list for more information!
