The vast majority of these kinds of stories are complete bunk.

Regardless of its bunk coefficient this is still exciting and inspiring, especially for students or low resourced people.

I hate to say it, but this is correct.

Who in the world would have the expertise to operate one of these? In a “low resource” high school? The problem isn’t (just) having the equipment.

There are so few teachers with enough knowledge to engage. Well-resourced, highly motivated kids might be able to read on line, but that’s a real stretch for the rest.

Why? What do you mean by “bunk?” Do you have any examples you can point to?
