The Girls Code Lincoln Podcast

Each month hosts Elsbeth Magilton (Girls Code Lincoln board president) and Aakriti Agrawal (co-founder and operations director) profile a historical woman in STEM and introduce listeners to a coder, engineer, or scientist in the Midwest. Girls Code Lincoln is a community organization in Lincoln Nebraska that teaches 4th-9th graders coding and confidence through free weekly clubs, as well as public events to promote technology literacy across the community. This podcast is great for family listening in the car and is probably most interesting to kids over 9 and into adulthood. Content is always appropriate for all ages. Our theme music is 'Then it Went Like' by Grace Mesa. Lysandra Marquez is our producer.

EmpoweHER Series with Ashley Votruba

June 15, 2022 • Season 1 • Episode 13

Meet Ashley Votruba! Dr. Votruba's research at the University of Nebraska examines how cognitive biases and culture influences legal decision-making in the areas of alternative dispute resolution, tort law, criminal law, and family law. She spoke with Elsbeth and Aakriti on working during college, wanting to be a marine biologist in a landlocked state, and those amazing "a-ha!" moments in data science.

In March 2022 the Women Lead conference was sponsored by the University of Nebraska Colleges of Business and Law. The Girls Code Lincoln podcast is proud to feature the speakers from the event in our EmpowHER podcast series, in addition to our regular monthly episodes. You can also check out the 2020-2021 EmpowHER video series on our youtube channel.
