COVID-19 Update

as of July 30, 2020

For nearly 20 years, Learning Undefeated has been bringing hands-on STEM education to students with our mobile laboratory program. Because we love the work we do, it has been an incredibly difficult decision to suspend mobile laboratory programming in Maryland until further notice.

Like you, we are truly disappointed that we won’t be seeing Maryland students in person this fall, but our team has been hard at work this summer to figuring out how we can bring engaging STEM learning to your students at home. We have designed a diverse set of digital learning resources that you can use in your own digital classroom, as well as independent assignment ideas for students. And, just like our mobile laboratory program, all of Learning Undefeated’s digital resources are free to teachers! read more >

Through innovative and experiential education programs for grades K-12, we are sparking interest in STEM careers, building the workforce that will drive the innovation economy, and bridging school, community, health and business.

Our Impact

A Life Changing Experience

The mobile science lab was a life changing experience for our children this summer! Josiah failed science in school last year and the science part of the STAR test as well. He was frustrated and hated science for this reason. Josiah is a very intelligent child but for some reason science was a struggle for him. The science lab changed his mind on the way he felt about science. Josiah stated “ science in school was boring but I love the experiments Ms. Desurae had us doing because she makes them a lot of fun”. So far this year his science grades are great! Thank you MDBio for changing the lives of our children and giving them an unforgettable summer. — Charlotte Dorsey, Executive Director

A great week with the Bio Lab

I wanted to thank you and your crew for the great week we had with the Bio Lab. It could not have gone any better – from the site prep and the drop off, to the experience provided for our students. We wanted access for all students, and we received more than we could hope for! Our ESOL students who are new to English and the language of science are still talking about the experience! Our upper level IB and AP kids were thrilled to have an opportunity to work in such a professional setting. – Beth Foster, Science Academic Chair. Annapolis High School

Called “Anywhere Labs,” the standards-aligned units include laboratory explorations and brand new activities specifically created for digital classrooms. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused a major shift in education, requiring teachers and students to quickly implement and adapt to a new way of learning. “We know firsthand how important it is to get students back to learning following a crisis,” said Brian Gaines, CEO of Learning Undefeated. “We run the risk of students losing interest in STEM, which impacts the future of innovation in our country.
