FORGE & WIRE ACADEMY

We design hardware that actually works.

No abstract theories or slides. Forge & Wire is a cohort-based lab where you build real physical-digital prototypes from day one.

OUR CORE MANIFESTO

Tactile feedback beats paper certificates.

We measure engineering success by working schematics and hard-won prototypes. If your board doesn't power up, the job isn't done. We teach the rigorous bench-craft required to build real physical products.

ACTIVE PRACTITIONERS

Led by lab engineers.

Our instructors spend their mornings in active commercial labs and their afternoons guiding your workbench projects.
