Leveling Up Learning: Gaming & Coding

Students at Stewart are turning their passion for technology into powerful skills for the future. Our Gaming & Coding Program equips students with the tools to create, innovate, and problem-solve in the fast-growing fields of game design and computer science. Students begin their journey in Digital Discoveries, a course that introduces the fundamentals of coding, logic, and digital literacy. From block-based coding to exploring real-world applications, students gain confidence as creators, not just consumers, of technology. Building on this foundation, Stewart also offers Game and Simulation Foundations, a high school credit course. Students explore the art and science behind gaming and simulation, learning how to design interactive experiences, build game environments, and apply coding in creative and practical ways. Through hands-on projects, teamwork, and problem-based learning, students discover how coding and gaming connect to careers in software development, engineering, simulation, and beyond. At Stewart, gaming is more than play—it’s preparation for the future.

Exploring the Future: Artificial Intelligence

Our new Artificial Intelligence Program gives middle school students the opportunity to dive into one of the fastest-growing fields in the world—AI. The program includes two high school credit courses: AI in the World – Students explore how artificial intelligence is transforming industries such as healthcare, transportation, and space exploration. They learn to think critically about how AI systems work, their benefits, and the ethical questions that come with emerging technology. Applications of Artificial Intelligence – Building on that foundation, students get hands-on experience with real AI tools and concepts, from machine learning and natural language processing to robotics and data analysis. This course emphasizes both technical skills and creative problem-solving, helping students apply AI to real-world challenges. Studying for the Microsoft Azure AI-900 certification Through these courses, Stewart students gain early exposure to cutting-edge technology while earning high school credit. They learn not just how AI works, but how to use it responsibly to make a positive impact on the world.
