Built by teachers, for teachers
TeachForge was built by educators with more than twenty years in schools and universities — online and in the room. AI supplies the heat. The teacher does the forging.
Our story
After two decades across schools and universities, the same gaps kept showing up: tools too thin for a real lesson, platforms that buckled in a live classroom, and nowhere that held Whiteboard, Workshop, Quest Ladder, and Virtual Lab as one connected flow.
TeachForge began as a practical answer to that frustration: a collaborative Whiteboard that keeps pace in real time, Quest Ladder paths that show what one score hides, and Workshop Stations for diagrams, code, maths, science and more — without jumping between five apps mid-lesson.
Every surface exists because a real teaching moment demanded it. The result is a teaching studio — The Forge — where you build, teach live, adapt to every learner and share, while students take the work in hand and change it.
What we believe in
Five values that shape every surface of The Forge.
Live
Teaching happens in real time and the tools keep up: anything on the board can change mid-lesson, and learners see it change.
Universal
Any subject, the languages teachers teach in, learners who need no account, and a browser on a modest device.
Evidenced
We show learning, not just marks — confidence, timing and hint use — and we describe only what exists.
Yours
AI drafts; you decide what reaches learners. What one teacher builds can be shared with and reused by another.
Crafted
Made with care by people who teach. We say less and mean it.
What the teaching studio does
Everything you need for interactive, media-rich lessons — across The Forge, not scattered across apps.
- ✓ Collaborative whiteboard — draw, type, images, shapes, and tables on a shared canvas with live classroom collaboration
- ✓ Quest Ladder — adaptive sequences with rich question types, drafting with your own AI, and media including LaTeX, code, and video
- ✓ Bring your own AI — copy the prompt into any chatbot, or use your own API key or your own GPU where your plan allows; you edit every question, hint and solution before any learner sees it
- ✓ Classroom tools — laser pointer, visual timer, raise hand, focus mode, require name on join, and page control
- ✓ 22 Workshop Stations — charts, code, Mermaid, TikZ, maths, science, D3, and more — inside the Workshop
- ✓ Virtual Lab — interactive practicals with live parameters, graphs, and embeddable labs learners can drive
- ✓ Private notes — learners annotate on top of the teacher’s board without changing the original, then export their copy
- ✓ Export and share — PNG, PDF, PowerPoint, SVG or the .teachforge file; shareable links and QR codes; direct YouTube upload
Forged by teachers. Shared with everyone.
Teaching is craft, and the best craft is shared. TeachForge is built so educators can start from something that already works — then leave something better for the next classroom. A platform where every teacher begins at a blank page has failed.
How contribution works
- Build — create a Station template, question type, quest ladder, or lab.
- Submit — offer it to the community library for review.
- Review — a human reviews submissions before anything is published. Publishing is never unmoderated.
- Publish — approved work is copied into the platform library so it stays available.
- Keep — you keep your private copy, with attribution, and can improve what you shared.
Ways to help
- ✓ Share high-quality teaching resources for review
- ✓ Improve translations and report awkward wording
- ✓ Partner on subject catalogues, exam-board adaptations, or regional examples
- ✓ Tell us what your classroom needs next
Approved community resources are platform-owned copies on purpose: if an author later leaves, classrooms that depend on that resource are not left empty. Private work is still fully erasable with your account.
TeachForge runs in the languages teachers actually teach in — including right-to-left scripts — and shared teaching content can carry translations alongside the original. We welcome translators and localisation helpers: interface strings, CMS pages, and quest content all benefit from careful human review. We design for colleagues in Nairobi, Dhaka, São Paulo, and London alike — not as beneficiaries of charity, but as educators who deserve serious tools whether or not they have a large technology budget.
