    After watching Dr. Billings and the Inventioneering Episode, I think I am going to like Science better! I really enjoyed the experiments and observing the reactions when the flasks were mixed with liquids from the test tubes. Just remember that most inventions occur because people are looking for a better way to do things and want to solve a problem.

    A inventioneer is a combination of an “inventor” and an “engineer” who plans, designs, and creates new solutions and products, often involving innovation, problem-solving, and creativity to bring ideas to life.
