WHERE ENGINEERS
ARE FORGED
Forge Makerspace offers year-round STEM and engineering classes, afterschool programs, and camps for kids in Santa Monica
Open Weekdays: 2:00-6:30PM
Rank Classes
At Forge Makerspace, students don’t just take classes—they progress through a structured engineering journey that keeps them challenged, motivated, and constantly learning new skills.
Our curriculum is built around five ranks, each representing a new level of technical ability. Each rank has its own class with multiple classes for each age range.
Open Makerspace
Unstructured time where students 1st-12th grade have access to our workshop, tools, materials and instructor supervision.
Students either currently enrolled in a Rank Class or who have already achieved Rank 1 may use our makerspace and engineering tools to work on their own projects.
Camps
For 1st-8th graders to explore hands-on projects.
Day Camps
Available during school holidays and breaks, Forge day camps offer full days of hands-on building, creative problem-solving, and engineering fun for students. Hands-on projects that students get to take home.
Summer Camps
Our weeklong summer camps focus each week on a different theme or large engineering project that students get to take home.
Competition Robotics Teams
Forge Makerspace offers three distinct team-based competition programs for students at different grade levels and experience.
VEX IQ: 4th-8th Grade
VEX V5 (VRC): 6th-12th Grade
