Join us as we "Lean in and Learn" from Kate Dickerson, Executive Director of the Maine Discovery Museum.Kate Dickerson is the Executive Director of the Maine Discovery Museum. MDM is critical in helping Mainers learn, especially in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). With three floors of interactive exhibits and robust STEM programming within and outside the museum, MDM uses both paths to introduce Mainers to the value and importance of discovery and exploration.
Prior to heading up MDM, Dickerson was the Founder and Director of the Maine Science Festival, the first and only science festival held north of Cambridge, MA. The MSF launched in 2015 and has grown into a five day celebration of Maine science, held in Bangor, Maine, every March, with events and activities for all-ages. With the MSF, Dickerson built a hugely collaborative partnership of diverse organizations and companies throughout the state, culminating in an annual celebration of Maine science, technology, engineering, and innovation and other science events throughout the year.
Dickerson is also the Founder, Host, and Executive Producer of the Maine Science Podcast. Each episode is a conversation with a Mainer who is working in science, engineering, technology, and innovation, and deep-dive into who they are and what they do.
Prior to founding the Maine Science Festival, Dickerson worked in the energy and environmental field for more than 20 years. She has worked for industry, nonprofits, and educational institutions, and has expertise in the areas of environmental policy, pollution prevention, and environmental cleanup, with positions in Providence, Rhode Island; Seattle, WA; and the Margaret Chase Smith Policy Center at the University of Maine focusing on policy work.
Join us and hear what motivates and energizes Kate! Our host, Deb Neuman, will help us all lean in and learn!
