🛠️ “My favorite thing is seeing the joy that appears when a student finishes a project, starts to comprehend a topic they have struggled with, or comes up with a new way to make something.” — Dixie Cooper
From robotics and fabrication to web development and digital media, Dixie brings a wealth of knowledge and creativity to the Makerspace at Explora. She`s passionate about helping students discover new skills and empowering teen entrepreneurs to bring their ideas to life.
