I serve as a mentor because I want other black and brown youths to be excited for STEM just as I am. My most memorable moment was attending an all female class, I was able to answer questions not just about college but about life aspects which allowed me to be a beacon of light for some of the girls. read more
Learning Undefeated videos are engaging and easily digested by our students, perfect for distance learning.
We were learning about how mountains form, topography and maps. We are diagramming how rain changes and where water flows. Where the land is higher, you’d get more lines if it was further apart you’d get fewer lines. We can see in the valley where water collects from runoff, that was really cool.
It gave a real life adventure and it shows that you can create something and explore no matter what you are. Overall, now I might want to be an engineer.
I felt inspired to work in a STEM related career because, I thought that it was amazing that you could be working in a lab, with cool advanced technology. And while working in the lab, you can create new breakthroughs in science that could help society.
In the midst of widespread devastation and confusion, we have witnessed the best in humanity. One of the finest examples of the blessings we have received is an outpouring of support from Rebuild Texas Fund, Qatar Harvey Fund, and Learning Undefeated. read more
Your mobile lab changed my life! I was a student at Watkins Mill High School when the mobile lab came to my school, and my experience on the lab is what caused me to choose a major in a STEM field. Your program really is changing lives!
The AR sandbox is so much better than having the students try and learn from a worksheet! I love this thing. If they had just learned this from a paper, they would never get it. With the [Contour] sandbox, they get it 10 times faster.
Our kids have been through so much. Having Learning Undefeated in our district was essential to giving our students meaningful and engaging science lessons in a safe environment. We are excited to have them back this year!

My school, and my students, have directly benefitted from Learning Undefeated’s education programs since Hurricane Harvey. Vidor ISD lost the use of 2 campuses during Hurricane Harvey that have yet to be repaired. As of February 2017, our district had 1556 students identified as homeless due to Hurricane Harvey, and many of those are still in temporary living situations. read more
The best feature of working on the assignment given with MXLab is that is puts you in a real lab, working with real hemoglobin, and this helps you apply context to your learning.
If we are to continue to solve the toughest health challenges of tomorrow, we need to cultivate the talent today. I can say with authority that employers will be waiting, but more importantly, patients are waiting. At MedImmune we are driven to create life-saving medicines — a process that does not happen without people who fundamentally love science and live to innovate; programs like ATLAS are critical to nurturing that passion early on so that it can thrive. read more
By supporting groups like MdBio we’re creating opportunities for people to prepare for rewarding careers, especially at a time when so many jobs are unfulfilled in the U.S. today, lacking qualified applicants.

The students were excited daily to enter the mobile lab and were exposed to a variety of experiments. I remember one of the most exciting days was when they solved the mystery of the broken beaker! They were meticulous at all data collecting and were on task to solve the mystery. read more
The reason why I serve as a mentor for the [Learning Undefeated] Explorer Lab is to be a great example to young kids to show them that it’s cool to be smart and also be an athlete. The most memorable moment I had was when I got to share with the class of young girls what it’s like being a girl scout and a chemistry major. The things I’m able to take away from working as a mentor is patience and understanding and leadership skills. read more
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! read more
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. read more

ATLAS is awesome. I came here today thinking about a career in either IT or mechanical engineering. After talking to some people, I’m definitely leaning more toward mechanical engineering. I definitely plan on going to the next event in the spring.
ATLAS is a great event. I brought my Girl Scout troop today, and these girls are 9th through 12th grades. I told them what STEM is and they were excited to see what career opportunities are available to them. We had four other events to choose from today, and the girls chose this one.
MdBio’s events help students realize that science is a friendly environment, and give students a chance to see all of the STEM career options they have, which can be cool and fun. Students can see that they really can work with all of the things they learn about in class.
I want to be a veterinarian, and I got information about vet schools and about what being a veterinarian is like. This event has been really fun for me and my friends.
My son is in 10th grade, so it’s time that he start thinking about what he wants to do for a career. The ATLAS event is perfect for him. He was able to explore a lot of different careers and talk to colleges about what types of programs they offer. He’s thinking about aerospace engineering, so the seed has been planted!
It allowed me to see that even as a high-schooler I can do research and do something useful. It also gives me more motivation to study science and biology.
Through the BioGENEius Challenge, students gain an appreciation for the fascinating aspects of scientific experimentation and the tremendous potential for biotechnology to continue to address some of the most pressing issues of our time.
