The UK STEM sector faces chronic diversity issues and shortages of specialist science teachers. Orbyts is a multi-award-winning movement that partners scientists with schools to empower school students to undertake world-leading research. It is proven to improve inclusivity in science.
Over the past 8 years Orbyts has expanded from a single university department to hubs at universities across the UK. The programme received a very high grade on the REF Impact Case, and has won awards from the European Research Council, Ogden Trust and NEON in reflection of its impact on widening access to education. ​​​​​
