The Space, Engineering, & Technologies Academy (SETA) is a public engineering based magnet high school located at Theodore Roosevelt High School, in San Antonio, Texas. The Space, Engineering, and Technologies Academy has various space, engineering, and science-related curricula such as aerospace engineering, manufacturing, communication graphics, principles of engineering, drafting and computer-Aided design, GIS, and information technologies. Students also have the ability to partake in off-campus internships related to various fields of engineering.
SETA initially started as the Krueger School of Applied Technology (KSAT) and the Engineering Technologies Academy (ETA) over 20 years ago. Both of these schools provided quality engineering education for decades before emerging as SETA, which brings together a common focus on engineering education that uses aerospace and aviation as the framework. This change allows students to have a seamless transition from middle school to high school and has brought in many exciting new elements, including a partnership with NASA and student-designed space experiments that will be conducted on the I.S.S. by astronauts. By looking towards the future, SETA is able to teach modern concepts, skills, and problem-solving strategies to the next generation.
