Connie Dunn has been an educator for 12 years—six teaching elementary and six teaching
middle school computer science. She is passionate about making technology fun, hands-on, and accessible for all learners. Over the years, she has also coached track, led Girls Who Code clubs, and supported fellow educators through computer science professional development.

Her students dive into creative projects—building games in Scratch, mixing music in EarSketch, exploring AI with Creaticode, and coding micro:bit inventions. She has trained both teachers and students on tools like Code.org, CMU Academy, MakeCode micro:bit, Birdbrain, WeVideo, Book Creator, and more.

Connie has presented at the Technology Curriculum Conference of Aldine (TCCA), the Computer Science Teachers Association (CSTA) National Conference, Texas CSTA State Conferences, and the CSTA Greater Houston Chapter One Day Conference—sharing classroom-tested strategies for teaching CS through robotics, music, and AI. She was named the 2023–2024 Teacher of the Year in Aldine ISD, recognized as a CTE Educator of the Month
February 2025, and is currently a micro:bit CHAMPION for 2024 and 2025.

She and her husband, Troy, love riding bicycles together—whether it’s a loop around Galveston Bay for Bike Around the Bay or off-road on their mountain bikes. They have three sons—Miles, Chase, and Mason—and a very spoiled dog named Brash. When Connie isn’t teaching or on her bike, she’s active in three book clubs. “We’re all a bit nerdy,” she says. “We create slideshows for our book club meetings and even theme dress for the books.”

Connie is excited to continue her professional development journey and share her love of all things computer science with more educators and students.
