Ronesha D. Dennis, author of Coding with Cornell

MEET THE AUTHOR

Hi, I’m Ronesha!

I believe the youngest learners deserve to see themselves as creators, thinkers, and problem-solvers.

Ronesha D. Dennis discovered the joy of coding around age 11, when she built a fan website for her favorite artist. That early spark grew into a career in software engineering and a passion for teaching.

She has taught young children, teens, and college students through organizations including Generation Code, Black Girls Code, and CodePath.

She created Coding with Cornell to introduce coding early and help children grow confident in their ability to learn, create, and solve problems.
