Every year, hundreds of school students across the UK and world-wide participate in Orbyts. We partner each school with a specialist science researcher who will guide students to complete original, cutting-edge science research

What do School Students get out of Orbyts?

  • Undertake world-leading scientific research, changing what humanity knows about the Universe 

  • Experience what it’s like to really be a scientist and gain skills relevant to future careers and university applications 

  • Join a community of science researchers across the world and get to know scientists working on: space missions, curing diseases, and developing revolutionary technologies 

  • Present your research to other scientists at an end of project conference

Year 12 Girl with English as an Additional Language (EAL)

"What we did with X really changed my view of science – I took biology in year 12 because I couldn’t choose sport science! I never thought Physics could be something I could do. Just being part of it showed me more possibilities of science I’d never even thought of and sparked interest in other parts of science which I will never forget. Even though I’m not going into science as a career I developed a lot of other skills and like understanding of scientists as a team."
