Why STEM at Women & Family Life ?

Led by the best!

 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. 

Hands on learning!

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.
