Mastery Coding Acquires STEM Forged, Cements Position as the K12 Industry Leader in Game Design and Academic Esports Solutions for U.S. Schools

Mastery Coding, an award-winning K-12 STEM and technology education company, today announced the acquisition of STEM Forged, a highly regarded provider of game design and esports curriculum across the United States. This strategic integration further positions Mastery Coding as the premier solution for schools seeking to channel students' passion for esports into career and college readiness so that learners have the technical and transferrable skills necessary to succeed in a world changed by technology.

The deal marks yet another significant advancement in Mastery Coding's commitment to serve the evolving needs of K-12 students. By bringing the STEM Forged programs underneath the Mastery Coding umbrella, the company is expanding access to cutting-edge game design, esports, and technology curriculum.

"From computer science to esports to artificial intelligence education, we're obviously quite excited," said Alan Sitomer, CEO and founder of Mastery Coding, "By providing an end-to-end solution for standards-based, project-based learning that includes comprehensive professional development, schools are going to benefit immensely from this arrangement. Add in dynamic esports competitions through the USAEL across games like Marvel Rivals, Super Smash Bros, Minecraft and so on, and we feel our TURN YOUR GAMERS INTO MAKERS value proposition offers a compelling, economical, data-driven means by which schools can meet their foremost objectives."

The enhanced offerings advance Mastery Coding's wide array of professional development opportunities for educators while providing students with a more robust vehicle to earn industry-based CTE certifications that demonstrate academic achievement and workforce readiness.

"Mastery Coding's all-around excellence combined with the opportunity to bring the United States Academic Esports League to our customer base for competitive play made this move a no-brainer," said Markus Nigrin, CEO of STEM Forged. "Their LMS has not only been rigorously vetted for safety compliance by some of the largest school districts in the nation, but their data and analytics capacities give authentic insights into both formative and summative assessments in a manner that impresses the heck out of everyone. Schools, students and gamers everywhere are going to benefit greatly as we enter into this new era."

Serving elementary, middle and high school campuses, having a unified platform ensures seamless implementation of curriculum, professional development, and gaming competitions across districts of all sizes. For educators, this means less complexity, more support, and proven tools to engage students in meaningful, dynamic, experiential learning.

"When it comes to empowering students to own future-ready skills, this will help make it so that kids who love video games can be offered a pathway to becoming prepared for vibrant careers in technology, gaming, and computer science," said Adam Rosen, co-founder of the United States Academic Esports League. "We've always seen gaming as a force for good. Transforming student learning through academic esports is both exciting and effective. I only wish they offered something like this when I was in school."
Ultimately, by expanding the Mastery Coding catalogue in this manner, learners will have more avenues to attain the skills necessary for success in college, career, and life.
