The Saturday Scientist program was developed by the School of Science and Technology in 1993 to improve student performance and foster student interest in biology, chemistry and physics through practical applications. Over the years, this program has expanded its offerings to include mathematics and computer technology. The objectives of the program are to:

promote academic achievements in math, science and computer literacy while introducing them to the use of educational technologies that complement and strengthen their course curricula.


The participants of this program are high school junior and senior students selected for participation through their teacher's recommendation. Students are assigned to an SST academic area based on their current high school course schedule. This is an eight session program where the students meet two Saturdays per month during the Spring semester (January through May). The students meet in the classrooms and laboratories on the campus of Norfolk State University to participate in college level enrichment activities and hands-on laboratory work.

 

Participation in this program is limited. Applications for the '08 SST Saturday Scientist Program are forthcoming.
