+**K**evontae started coming to PI515 because his girlfriend, Jessica was our web class assistant. Jessica had joined our class in 9th grade and had become a pro in web development. Jessica’s PI515 job in 10th grade was to assist our Web Development class instructor, John Dillon, a Central college student. At PI515, we not only teach tech, but also encourage our students teach the skills they learn to their peers.

+**K**evontae’s initial goal was to spend more time with Jessica, but after a few visits we convinced Kevontae to join the class. Kevontae has now graduated high school and will be attending college this fall. He plans to pursue Computer Science.
