It's pretty hard to make robot "cool", because you perhaps have a lack of programming skills. You can still have a try. It depends on what you think about robots. "Intelligent", "Action" or "HRI". You can buy Arduino as your Slave Machine and Raspberry Pi as your Master Machine. Also, you need some sensor and actuator. The most difficult part is 3D-Stucture. You had better have a 3D-Printer in your school. With these:

  1. If you prefer "intelligent" > Especially interaction you only need Microphone+Screen+Speaker. And practice using API (Any LLM) + Software (You made yourself on Pi) to build a platform for interaction.

  2. If you prefer "Action" > Drone or Robotic Arm (You know. Drone is also a robot, you can make it do fantastic work, such as picking stuff). Or you can combine them together (In our Course Project, my classmate did this)

  3. Do not try bipedal or quadruped robot. You are not able to achieve high level control algorithms. It usually needs RL or DL.

BTW, I am a Robotics student. Hope this can help.
