School and Saturdays don’t exactly go hand in hand. But for the students of the School for Entrepreneurship & Technology, a charter high school in Serra Mesa, two Saturdays a month are spent in the classroom. Saturdays@SET gives students a couple extra days to build robotics projects, prep for the SATs, work on something they’re passionate about, or ponder how to solve society’s biggest problems.
“We hold Saturdays@SET so we can do everything we can to set up students for lifelong learning,” says SET instructor Sofia Zambalis-Lowenstein. About a quarter of the school’s roughly 235 students attend on any given Saturday.
