What effect has Star Trek had on education?

I am told that there have been over the years a number of experiments taking place in places like Massachusetts Institute of Technology that have been entirely based on concepts raised by Star Trek.

So far as education is concerned it has had a significant impact on a lot of young people who turn to science as a much more exciting and um, and interesting study than they otherwise might have found, entirely as a result of becoming involved with Star Trek, and we�ve heard from many teachers that they used episodes of Star Trek and concepts of Star Trek in their science classrooms in order to engage the students.

There are Klingon grammar books and so forth, though it always seemed to me that Worf never really understood much about grammar anyway, but that particular obsession with aspects of Star Trek was always something of a mystery to me.
