Advanced DIY Science for Students?

Adam Wise asks: "I'm a high school senior planning a career in science, and I don't have any plans for the summer. I'd like to put these two facts together to entertaining and educational results of the do-it-yourself variety. Reading about the home made electron microscope got me thinking along the lines of a similar project. Are there any resources specifically geared towards DIY scientists beyond baking soda and vinegar volcanoes?"

Congrats, Adam Wise! You seem to have succeeded in getting a story posted to the Slashdot frontpage with no reply (the thing was posted about 9 hours ago)! I'm sure someone'll notice and tell everyone in a post, though, producing a first post. However, by that time, some of his message will be wrong. It might then be modded troll for mentioning that it's first post, or, alternatively, modded up for gratuitous negated recursion.
