    Isn’t it amazing that we have HCL in our bodies! Our stomachs are line with a thick layer of mucus so that HCL can break down our food and ready it for digestion

    My Dad works at General Motors, and he told me that his job title is “Systems Engineer,” but he works with computers in the IT field. Mr. Billings, I was wondering, since that is the same title as your bachelor’s degree, do you know if there are systems engineers in each of the different fields of science? Thank you

    Inventioneering is when you mix inventing and engineering to make cool stuff that helps people. First, you think of a problem, like โ€œHow can I carry all my snacks at once?โ€ Then, you brainstorm wild ideas
