Aiden Swogger Shows Creativity and Innovation at Alton High School

ALTON - Aiden Swogger is an innovative student.

For his accomplishments, Aiden Swogger is a Hayner Public Library District Student of the Month for Alton High School.

Swogger, a junior, has played football for three years and ran track for one year. It takes a lot of responsibility and hard work to balance sports and school, but he makes this look easy.

Since he was in fifth grade, Swogger has been coding and creating video games. He loves to make “games people actually like,” especially those featuring storylines that evoke emotion. He often plays video games himself; in addition to enjoying the entertainment, Swogger learns from these experiences and can apply what he learns to his own game designs.

He is deeply creative. He makes keyrings, statues and earrings in his free time. These hobbies are a lot of fun, but they also inform Swogger’s goals for life after high school.

“Hopefully [I will] go to college for coding or bio med, not sure which one I’ll choose yet,” he shared.

In the meantime, Swogger is busy creating his own video game called A.N.T. This survival horror game will be released on Steam next year.

Coding and building video games requires a lot of creativity, self-discipline, and hard work. Swogger is proud of what he has accomplished. His loved ones and teachers are eager to see what he does next and certain he will succeed.

Congratulations to Aiden for this recognition by Alton High School and the Hayner Public Library District!
