Student Spotlight: Aaron Harmon — The Eye Behind the Lens and the Gloves

Aaron Harmon, PI Tech Network Student Spotlight

Some students you spot because of one talent. Aaron Harmon makes you notice two.

Inside the classroom, Aaron is a Computer Science sophomore with a growing passion for photography competition — the kind of student who thinks about framing, timing, and composition before he presses the shutter. Outside of it, he brings that same discipline to the ring as a competitive amateur boxer, where he’s earned recognition on the DC Golden Gloves scene.

It’s not a coincidence that the two fit together. Photography and boxing reward the same instincts: reading a moment, anticipating what happens next, and committing at exactly the right time. Computer science gives Aaron the tools to build on both — to edit, to create, and to turn a sharp eye into something he can share with the world.

That’s what PI Tech Network is about: finding the interest a student already has, and helping it grow into a skill, a portfolio, and a path. Aaron’s already got the eye. We’re excited to watch where he points it next.

— PI Tech Network

Our students are builders. Beyond the classroom and the competition stage, they create on their own — channels, games, projects, and ideas pursued purely out of passion. This is the work that happens when no one's assigning it.

GamingWith_Epic — Gaming Content Channel

By a PI Tech Network student

A student-run gaming channel currently focused on Roblox, expanding into more titles this summer. The project is scaling toward a consistent creator schedule — two-plus videos a week plus live streams on YouTube and Twitch — with a tech and coding channel in the works, driven by hands-on experimentation with AI.
