I did! My youngest daughter (12) has an interest in robotics, so the excuse was perfect. I've played with the NXT kit as much as she has, and we're already talking about getting an EV3 kit for her birthday. (I'm excited).
I'm a mentor for a robotics program that competes in FIRST competition. You should check it out and see if her schools have anything like this or if you can maybe start something yourself so other kids can learn about robotics with you and your kids.
I may take another stab at an FRC or FTC team next year as I now know (personally) the chairman of the school board. He's an engineering prof/researcher at UIUC so I expect it to be a fairly easy sell, and as a school board member, may be able to "grease the wheels" a little.
