My current science teacher called it "silly" earlier this year. I used to go on it a few years ago but I exhausted the fun out of it the stuff is too simple.

Our physics teacher showed us capacitor lab and electric field hockey, the last one is ok imo.

Not a place I would spend hours in either but still there are a few fun applications.
It definitely seems more focused on quantity than quality.
