CapstoneForge
Run a real capstone from driving question to oral defence (ages 15–18): scope an honest question, source and weigh evidence, build the artifact, document how you worked, disclose any AI use honestly, then DEFEND it aloud — the part a tool cannot fake for you. AI-resilient inquiry, computed and stored on-device; text-forward.

Meet the cast
CapstoneForge's adapted-DN-S cast (ages 15–18, realistic capstone-process personas — no mascots, per R-OLDER-TEEN-DN-ADAPTED) each embody one good-capstone primitive; chair Dr. Reyes probes any claim with “why, and how do you know?”
Dr. Reyes
(Mentor) the fair examiner — a defence probes understanding, never gotcha
Mara
the process-keeper — the value is the documented process, kept from day one (the AI-proof evidence)
Tomas
the honest AI-user — disclosed AI use is integrity, not policing (the AI-use ledger)
Selin
the probing follow-up — the why-chain that separates recall from real understanding
What's inside
Learning goal
Run a real capstone from driving question to oral defence (ages 15–18): scope an honest question, source and weigh evidence, build the artifact, document how you worked, disclose any AI use honestly, then DEFEND it aloud — the part a tool cannot fake for you. AI-resilient inquiry, computed and stored on-device; text-forward.
Question kits
16 curriculum-aligned kits × 25 questions = 400 questions per app, mapped to recognized standards.
On-device AI mentor
FoundationModels-powered hints, feedback, and adaptive difficulty — all running locally.
Mentored by Dr. Reyes — on-device AI, no data leaves the device.
