MdBio Foundation, Inc. has been providing innovative and effective bioscience education for middle and high school students since 1997. The non-profit, (501 c 3) organization is dedicated to providing bioscience awareness, education, and workforce development in the state of Maryland and beyond. The Foundation accomplishes this through a diverse
set of programs, including their flagship program, MdBioLab, summer programs, and their leading-edge game-based learning platform, MdBioSphere.
MdBio Foundation leverages its established, trusted relationships with private industry and school systems to create authentic, STEM-based career experiences on their mobile laboratory, MdBioLab, and through their youth camp, the Young Science Explorers Program (YSEP). These experiences provide a unique opportunity for students to observe first hand the types of careers they could pursue in STEM-related fields. Students and teachers who participate in MdBioLab and YSEP have increased access to information about bioscience industry products, research, and related careers through problem-based laboratory experiences that are aligned with local, state and, national curriculum standards.
Commitment to Excellence: Since its inception, The MdBio Foundation has contributed more than $3.5M of their resources to these programs and will continue to invest more than $500K each year. The Foundation’s staff consists of talented and experienced educators and scientists who share a common goal of improving science education and creating a more accessible, educational experience.
