Curriculum and software
for the social studies classroom.

InquiryForge is a new educational technology business developing World History lessons and practical tools for teachers.

Our focus is straightforward: help students read sources, work with evidence and explain their thinking.

Why social studies?

Understanding history and society takes more than remembering information. Students need practice reading carefully, considering different perspectives and making a case with evidence.

We’re building a focused set of tools around that work, with room for teachers to make decisions about their own lessons.
