Dr. Megan Linske, P.h.D. is a scientist at the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station, specializing in tick ecology and disease prevention. She combines research with public education to make science accessible and engaging.
The EmpowHER: Girls in STEM program introduces participants to a wide range of STEM careers, sparks enthusiasm for science, technology, engineering, and math, and provides hands-on experience through activities, projects, and discussions with STEM professionals. Participants build problem-solving skills and a sense of belonging, laying the foundation for future success in and beyond the classroom.
Registration is required to participate in EmpowHER: Girls in STEM, a program designed for 5th and 6th grade girls.
Our current cohort and waitlist are full, but we’d still love to hear from you!
