BioBus helps K-12 and college students in New York City discover, explore, and pursue science.

We focus on students excluded from the scientific community due to factors such as race, gender, economic status, and physical access. Through this work, we envision a world where all people have the opportunity to reach their full scientific potential. We’ve reached 300,000 students at more than 800 schools since 2008, primarily in NYC public and charter schools and as far away as Boston, Califor

⚑️🚎 The newest BioBus Mobile Lab has officially launched! πŸ₯³

On March 20, we celebrated the launch of our newest all-electric BioBus Mobile Lab in the Bronx alongside New York State Assembly Majority Speaker Carl Heastie, NYCEDC, Wiz Kids Basketball, and some longtime community and government partners.

We kicked off the event with a press conference featuring talks from BioBus' founder Ben Dubin-Thaler, Speaker Heastie's office, the Office of the NYC Public Advocate Jumaane Williams, Senator Natalia Fernandez, and Assemblymember Landon Dais , and then headed out to the new bus to see the magic of community science in action! πŸŒ±πŸ”¬

Thanks to everyone who joined us to celebrate this milestone, and keep an eye out for our new bus at a school near you! πŸšŽπŸ’¨πŸ‘€
