# ForgeBot Quest (FORGEBOT QUEST)

> ForgeBot Quest is a premier story-driven STEM robotics and electronics learning platform for young learners aged 7 to 16. It combines gamified digital lab simulations, interactive Phaser game stories, hands-on physical hardware builds, and AI mentor guidance ("Pixel").

## Key Features

- **Gamified Missions**: 72 progressive missions across 3 distinct mastery levels.
- **Interactive Digital Lab**: Zero-hardware browser simulators for circuits, LEDs, push switches, kinetic motors, 3D CAD modeling, 3D printing slicing, and ultrasonic distance sensors.
- **Physical Hands-on Builds**: Step-by-step maker guides and safety checklists for real-world electronic components (breadboards, servos, microcontrollers, coin cells).
- **Kid-Safe & Guardian Supervised**: Parent-supervised free family accounts with email and phone OTP verification.
- **Audio Kid Guide**: Context-aware speech narration tailored for children's reading levels.
- **Engineering Passport**: XP rewards, badges, and learning evidence logs.
