Robots in High School

A San Francisco Chronicle article describes an unusual class at San Ramon Valley High School where there are no desks and no lectures. It's a class that students actually want to attend, even though it means staying at school as late as 8pm and coming in on Saturdays. It's a robotics class where the students work on a robot for the annual FIRST competition. Last year the student's entry placed second out of the 46 teams competing in their region.
