How to set environment variables for bash from within powershell?

Question

Using powershell how do I set the environment variables (here, particularly "ApiSecret") so that printenv will show the necessary variables?

(Operating on the assumption that the problem is that Visual Studio and bash aren't picking up the environment variables properly. They can be set from bash easily enough.)

I'm on Linux:

thufir@dur:~/powershell/helloPSTwitterAPI$ 
thufir@dur:~/powershell/helloPSTwitterAPI$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 18.10
Release:    18.10
Codename:   cosmic
thufir@dur:~/powershell/helloPSTwitterAPI$ 

powershell code:

Import-Module PSTwitterAPI


Set-TwitterOAuthSettings -ApiKey $env:ApiKey -ApiSecret $env:ApiSecret -AccessToken $env:AccessToken -AccessTokenSecret $env:AccessTokenSecret

#Get-TwitterUsers_Lookup -screen_name 'mkellerman'

$TwitterStatuses = Get-TwitterStatuses_UserTimeline -screen_name 'mkellerman'
#$TwitterStatuses = [array]Get-TwitterStatuses_UserTimeline -screen_name 'mkellerman'

Foreach ($status in $TwitterStatuses) {
   Write-Host $status.text
}



Write-Host "done"

Visual Studio Code:

PS /home/thufir> /home/thufir/powershell/helloPSTwitterAPI/twitter.ps1

PS /home/thufir> 

but then neither is the standard bash console:

(From bash, printenv doesn't show the API keys which the script depends upon.)

For context, this is a solution, but it's using standard bash on Ubuntu:

export ApiKey="57647625454354365"

to check if ApiKey is set correctly do:

echo $ApiKey

But still looking to accomplish this with powershell:

Because while I can run pwsh twitter.ps1, and powershell will correctly pick up the env variables, visual studio code fails to do so. See also:
