We didn't have robots in the classroom when I was a student, and that's too bad. It is exactly the sort of thing I would have fallen deeply into (maybe becoming a productive STEM specialist instead of an unproductive writer and philosopher). But today tere's no real reason why each school wouldn't have some such project of this sort - if not robots, then flying things, or genetics labs, or some such thing (the closest we got was to go out to the creek and school a cross-section of it into a jar, which became our 'closed ecosystem project'). "Sleep, clean laundry and cooking supper at home are totally overrated. However, should you happen to spend your birthday building a robot, kids feel like they need to celebrate with you and will bring you ice cream cake."
