The Scientific Tools and Techniques Program (STT) is a semester-long course designed to familiarize students with the tools and techniques of scientific inquiry. The program is free of charge, and is open to 9th grade students enrolled in the DeKalb County School System. Transportation is provided free of charge.

     Students apply through Henderson Middle School in February of their eighth grade year. Completed applications are submitted to Leslie McMillan, Head Counselor for processing, not to the Fernbank Science Center.

     The STT Open House for prospective students is Feb 5, 2015. Applications will be available to interested students through their science teachers around February 13th. ​
