Creating Tomorrow’s
Innovators Today
Our Mission
Empowering Lifelong Learners
The Forge Initiative is an Open Innovation Tech Space, where individuals of all ages and backgrounds are empowered to Explore, Learn, and Lead. Guided by our D-ELL mentoring model and best practices, we break down barriers in engineering and technology, fostering self-directed lifelong learners.
Our Vision
A Future of Innovation
We are shaping a future where innovation thrives through collaboration and inclusivity. Our vision is to create a world where families, professionals, students, and retirees from all backgrounds and skill levels come together in one space.
By empowering both youth and adults to engage as equal contributors, we foster a dynamic learning environment where everyone learns and grows together—embracing successes and failures alike. Through this approach, we aim to inspire communities to adopt our open innovation model and become hubs of creativity and leadership for the future.
