What?

A visible (possibly UV) spectrometer that is completely open.

Why?

Those that are available for schools are too bloody expensive, given the level of technology they contain.

How?

Design will be based on a Czerny-Turner design.

Probably contain an arduino, cos they get you extra blog-cred.
