Scattering equations for tree-level amplitudes are viewed in the context of string theory. As a result of the comparison we are led to define a new dual model which coincides with string theory in both the small and large α′ limit, and can be solved algebraically on the surface of solutions to the scattering equations. We use the same idea to generalize scattering equations to amplitudes with fermions and any mixture of scalars, gluons and fermions.
