Title and Little blurb for Feb 22 event

[Chinna Devarapu]

Hi everyone (particularly: Jenny, Vamsi, Carlos, Tony and Richard)

I would like to propose the title and a little intro for the event in the following.

Title: Low-cost spectrometers and how you can use them in your projects

Intro: Several low-cost spectrometers/spectrophotometers are available in the market and in the maker community. During this event, we will discuss about these off-the-shelf  as well as some cool maker friendly spectrometers. In particular, we will show how a simple spectrophotometer can be realised by hacking a fitness tracker. Don't worry if you didn't come across spectrometers so far. We will show you how you might be using them  already in your daily life.

Please let me know if the above title and intro seems alright for the event and the audience we are targeting.

Yours,

Chinna.

Nice Chinna!

One addition I would suggest is to include "biology" in the title - particularly for the first meeting of biology club :)

"Low-cost spectrophotometers and how you can use them in your biology projects"? 

I also suggest adding a quick note about what spectrophotometers are to the start of your description in case people don't know and maybe keep to one term and remove spectrometer to keep things simple?

Intro: Spectrophotometers are very important in biology because they determine the transmission of different wavelengths of light through samples to detect colour changes, monitor cell growth, calculate DNA and protein concentration and many other useful measurements. Several low-cost spectrophotometers are available in the market and in the maker community. During this event, we will discuss these off-the-shelf options as well as some cool maker-friendly DIY builds. In particular, we will show how a simple spectrophotometer can be realised by hacking a fitness tracker. Don't worry if you didn't come across spectrophotometers so far. We will show you how you might be using them already in your daily life.

I will be presenting for sure.

I could talk about the AMS multi-spectral sensor chips, if you want.

Thanks, Richard. I will share slides, so you can add your slides as well.
