Narrative:
Instructor and student were climbing out on SID when instructed to climb to 4000 ft. ATC advised traffic 12-1 o'clock 1000 ft above. While watching for that traffic the student accidentally climbed through the assigned altitude and came dangerously close to the other aircraft; enough for ATC to get an alert and issue a pilot deviation and phone number to call when back on the ground.
