And the classrooms are just giving them tools, the real action is going on in the labs. Both required work, and trying to work out hare brained schemes the students dream up.

Quite often they're working on ideas a collaboration of 2, 3 or 4 students hashed out over pizza & beer, then brought the table cloth/place mats to the lab. MIT owns thousands of patents, and spins off dozens of companies, so many the labs are self supporting.
