  I describe our team's development of the SpeX Prism Library Analysis Toolkit
(SPLAT), a combined spectral data repository for over 2500 low-resolution
spectra of very low mass dwarfs (late M, L and T dwarfs), and Python-based
analysis toolkit. SPLAT was constructed through a collaborative,
student-centered, research-based model with high school, undergraduate and
graduate students and regional K-12 science teachers. The toolkit enables
spectral index analysis, classification, spectrophotometry, atmosphere model
comparison, population synthesis, and other analyses. I summarize the current
components of this code, sample applications, and future development plans.
