Jonah Medina’s interest in computer science goes back to his early childhood. Growing up as a digital native in the information age showed him just how important technology access and exposure was. His early passion led him to John Marshall School of Information Technology in Cleveland, Ohio and it was there that his relationship with TECH CORPS began. In 2018, during his sophomore year, Jonah’s Principal recommended him for a special TECH CORPS web development program where students built a website for a local law firm. After having such a positive experience with TECH CORPS, Jonah spent the next two summers in our Student WEB CORPS program. Upon graduating in 2020 Jonah was accepted into Case Western Reserve University’s College of Engineering. In 2021, Jonah came back to TECH CORPS, this time as an instructor for the Student WEB CORPS program. With Jonah’s experience and training, he has numerous career opportunities available to him including software or web development. He shared, “Because of TECH CORPS, the sky is the limit.”
