@futurebird @billseitz @catmisgivings @Twarda My high school had a sci fi class 🙂 We read things like Left Hand of Darkness, Neuromancer, Dune. Our final project was to make a time machine prototype and present it to the class (you got extra credit if it worked).
(This was like a weird no-grades/student-directed public high school influenced by the Spanish Anarchist "Escuela Moderna" movement from the early 20th century. Classes didn't start until 9AM)
