MdBio Foundation, Inc. has been providing innovative and effective bioscience education for middle and high school students since 1997. The non-profit (501c 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 the flagship program MdBioLab, summer programs, and the 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 in the mobile laboratory, MdBioLab, and through the 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.
