Your Teachers. Our Curriculum. More Students Reached.
Orblynx partners with schools and districts to bring authentic, project-based STEM learning directly into their classrooms. Through our school-based model, partner educators deliver Orblynx curriculum to their own students, with the training, resources, and year-round support to implement it successfully.
In 2026, Loudoun County Public Schools presented Orblynx Academy and its founder, Ferri Riar, the Make a Difference Award recognizing individuals/organizations whose passion, innovation and service create meaningful, life-changing impact for students and schools in LCPS.
Built for Schools. Delivered by Your Teachers.
A STEM Innovation Lab brings the Orblynx approach into a partner school. Unlike our direct-enrollment student programs, Labs are taught by district educators in their own classrooms. Orblynx provides the curriculum, prepares the teachers, and supports implementation across the year.
Currently implemented in middle schools across Loudoun County Public Schools.

It's Already Working in Partner Districts
Districts don't adopt promises. They adopt results. Here's what a STEM Innovation Lab looks like in practice.
In 2026, Loudoun County Public Schools presented Orblynx Academy and its founder, Make a Difference Award recognizing individuals/organizations whose passion, innovation and service create meaningful, life-changing impact for students and schools in LCPS.
"The Orblynx STEM partnership has had a profound impact on my students. By integrating hands-on learning experiences with cutting-edge technology, students have developed critical thinking and problem-solving skills that extend beyond the classroom. The program fosters collaboration and creativity, enabling students to engage in real-world challenges and projects. As a result, many have reported increased confidence in their abilities and a greater interest in pursuing careers in STEM fields. The Orblynx partnership has been a pivotal force in shaping the future of aspiring young scientists and innovators. This initiative not only equips students with essential skills but also inspires a lifelong passion for learning and exploration."
"As the proud Principal of Belmont Ridge Middle School, I am grateful for the outstanding partnership we have built with Orblynx Academy over the past seven years. Their team has consistently created innovative curricular and extracurricular STEM and STEAM opportunities that engage, inspire, and challenge our students in meaningful ways."

Supporting the Educators Who Deliver It
Great curriculum starts with educators who feel prepared to bring it to life. Orblynx equips partner educators with the training, tools, and ongoing support to deliver project-based STEM with confidence. Educators learn the approach, work with the materials, anticipate common challenges, and understand how to guide students through the design process from first idea to finished solution.
"Engineering and STEAM activities are always in demand, but few people know how difficult it can be to successfully implement that in the classroom. Orblynx's partnership has allowed us to do that."
Resources for Orblynx Educators
The Educator Hub gives participating educators access to the curriculum, project resources, instructional support, and implementation tools they need to run Orblynx experiences with their students.
Hub access is limited to educators in active partner schools. Sign-in credentials are issued during onboarding.
