The Student Tech Team (STT) program implemented in the schools that were part of the C·R·E·A·T·E for Mississippi project endeavored to train students to provide just-in-time support for technology use for teachers, administrators, and students in the classroom. The Student Tech Teams, under the direction of the Technology Facilitator, were middle school students who were interested in technology and were ready to assist technology integration in their schools, serving as a ready pool of students available to both solve problems and contribute to teachers' ability to integrate technology into their lesson plans.

The C·R·E·A·T·E for Mississippi Core Schools took different approaches in setting up their Student Tech Teams. Numerous factors influenced the selection process for their teams including the physical size and layout of the school, the size of the student population, the arrangement of class schedules, and the ages of the students.

C·R·E·A·T·E for Mississippi had resources available for schools that were considering creating a technology-related student team. Each school had to determine a set of requirements for the selection of their Student Tech Teams, requirements that may have included teacher recommendations, students' completion of a questionnaire, or students' taking a test covering computers and technology. In addition, each school had to identify the anticipated duties for their Student Tech Teams. Depending on the knowledge level of the team members selected for the team, the STT completed various tasks as assigned by the Technology Facilitator at their schools. Tasks may have included ghosting computers, troubleshooting hardware problems, assisting teachers in learning to use software, assisting teachers with research on specific topics, creating presentations for teachers, or field-testing lessons for teachers.
