Kevin Boykin

Kevin's love for video games began as soon as he could hold a controller. Growing up with attention deficit disorder (ADD), playing video games helped him deal with the disorder. “It was always something I could easily grasp.“ 

Those games included Super Nintendo titles like The Legend of Zelda: A Link To The Past, Super Mario World and Secret of Mana. After two years of college, and several majors later, he stumbled into Richland's Interactive Simulation and Game Technology program. Kevin had never taken an art class before, so he was surprised to find his niche in Character Sculpting, although that didn't stop him from learning how to code in C# Unity as well as becoming a valuable asset on the program's Level Design teams.

Kevin has also been a project leader for three featured games: The Estate, Celly and Night on the Express.

“Some people in non-STEM majors reject the idea of being in a STEM organization because they feel they aren’t smart enough or talented enough. I’m not the smartest or most talented person in the room, but I’m curious, and that’s more than enough. Don't let your own sense of limitation stop you.”

“Now that I look at it, it was the best decision I ever made. The teachers realized I had a lot of passion for it, and they taught me to understand how things work.”

Dallas College student Bachelor’s Degree of Applied Technology
“After being homeschooled and graduating high school with dual credit prerequisites already done, I went straight into the workforce, no intention of getting a degree. I worked in a warehouse for about a year and thought about going into welding, but I injured my back. ... At that point I decided to go for my associate degree, which I accomplished, and now I’m working to get my bachelor’s degree of applied technology in software development this fall. I love that I can do it 100% online because I also take care of my family every day.”
