Spin bundles give the geometric data necessary for the description of fermions in physical theories. Not all manifolds admit appropriate spin structures, and the study of spin-geometry interacts with K-theory. We will discuss spin bundles, their associated spectra, and Atiyah-Bott-Shapiro's K orientation of MSpin--the spectrum classifying spin-cobordism.
