Orbyts is a multi-award-winning movement that partners scientists with schools to empower students to undertake research and to improve inclusivity in science.
We're delighted to present Orbyts' first Impact Report! Over the past six years we have seen Orbyts' transformational impact on young people, researchers and teachers alike and we’re excited to share that with you.

Orbyts has been featured in two publications in the last week: A&G and Physicsworld. You can enjoy reading about all the good stuff we're doing at Orbyts while having a cup of tea or coffee!
