Scottish Science and Technology Network (SSTN)

The Scottish Science and Technology Network (SSTN) is an exciting project enhancing science and technology learning in primary and secondary schools across the country, building links between teachers and students in schools and mentors from science-related businesses and centres of excellence via the Internet.

Schools are able to access a whole spectrum of industry-related information, resources, advice and support, linked to the Scottish curriculum, via a central web site. Pupils are encouraged to explore science subjects and to develop skills in using the latest information technology.
