About UsMSET

The Team

MSET (Mechanical Science and Engineering Team) is a nineteen year old club at Saratoga High School located in Saratoga, CA. This team is a student community whose goal is to invent with integrity, kindness, respect, creativity, inspiration, teamwork, fun, and trial and error. We work cooperatively with faculty, mentors, and the industry to better understand and develop our interest in the science of engineering. We offer a variety of different programs to allow members to flourish in any area they feel particularly inclined towards.
