The MdBio Foundation, a non-profit that provides STEM education and workforce development to underserved communities, is celebrating its 16th school year of delivering innovative, hands-on science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) education to students aboard mobile laboratories. During the 2017-18 school year, the foundation will debut its new Mobile eXploration Lab (MXLab), the largest mobile laboratory of its kind in the U.S., at high schools across the state of Maryland, and begin offering a new mobile program for middle schools in Washington, D.C., through a $1.36 million grant from the Verizon Foundation.
