TreeForge
Grow a picture of how YOU learn best. Rate everyday moments (your ROOTS — ears, eyes, hands, body), try three short thinking moves (your TRUNK), pick where school feels stuck (your BRANCHES), and get a strengths-first "How I learn" one-pager you can print. On-device, no accounts, nothing about you saved or sent. A self-portrait, never a label.
#2e7d32 Distributed-narrative cast
Meet the cast
TreeForge's tree guides each embody one part of how you learn — so the cast IS a picture of how you learn. The four ROOTS are your ears, eyes, hands, and body grown into friends; the TRUNK guides are three ways of thinking; the BRANCH helpers are where school work happens. Every guide is a strength you can lean on — a self-portrait, never a label.
