Jen Stewart

Jen Stewart is in her 28th year of teaching and still having a blast (sometimes literally ask her about Space Camp). She leads a project-based STEM program at Maxwell Intermediate School, where students design, build, and innovate their way through challenges that spark curiosity and problem-solving. Over the years, Jen has also taught computer science, social studies, and language arts giving her a superpower for blending tech, creativity, and real-world learning across subjects.

A proud Apple Teacher and Apple Learning Coach, as well as a Wayground Ambassador and Curipod Coach, Jen is passionate about helping educators harness technology to make lessons stick. She presented at national and regional conferences including ISTE, HECC, and Summer of eLearning events sharing practical, joy-filled strategies for bringing STEM and creativity to life in the classroom.

When she's not coaching teachers or leading PD sessions across the Midwest, you'll find Jen exploring new places, discovering hidden pizza gems, and diving into a good book. She believes travel fuels creativity, reading expands imagination, and both help her bring fresh ideas back to her students and fellow educators.
