OpenLabTools in Cambridge
The OpenLabTools Project is a new initiative that will provide a forum and knowledge centre for the development of low cost and open access scientific tools at the University of Cambridge, with an emphasis on undergraduate and graduate teaching and research. The programme starts this year with a number of projects that will be offered to establish the core components required for such tools; these include data acquisition, sensing, actuating, processing and 3D manufacturing. Protocols, designs and tutorials will be published on the openlabtools.org website. These components will be form the basis of new open source instruments, developed and maintained by a community of undergraduate and graduate students of the University, and shared widely.
