The day will kick off with an overview and site tour by Operations
Director Ted Lenski. Then students will visit the MdBioLab,
a state-of-the art mobile laboratory operated by the MdBio
Foundation, where they will participate in a hands-on science
experiment discussing the production of biodiesel fuel and

During lunch, the students will participate in a plant fair, where

This event is one of more than 1,900 being held worldwide on
October 7 to draw attention to the need for highly skilled
manufacturing workers. By working together, during and after
Manufacturing Day, manufacturers will begin to address the skilled
labor shortage they face, connect with future generations, take
charge of the public image of manufacturing and ensure the ongoing
prosperity of the manufacturing industry. Learn more about the
