I love Science Club it is awesome
I really loved this live
I love ASL. Thank you so much for offering these courses!
How do ideas go to the brain?
i love the idea of ASL i did it for a little bit in middle school as a club because i had a deaf friend.
Second Step of Inventioneering focuses on refining ideas through research and experimentation, transforming initial concepts into practical and workable designs.
This made me want to create something thank you so much
I appreciate the lesson and the importance of having a plan and sticking with it to be successful in whatever I try to do.
this is so inspiring
Amazing!
I love watching the Science Live videos, they are so inspiring.
Very Inspiring!
Very Inspiring!
These inspire me to create something cool and helpful!!

i took ASL my freshmen year and loved it
so fun to watch
This is inspiring.
Wow VERY cool!!
So fascinating to learn about RFID. Technology is truly amazing.
this is so cool and so smart
I’m trying to learn ASL
I hope that one day I can come up with something useful to invent.
Clank clank clank I am a tank!
I loved how informative this video is! I want to start inventing things now. So insperational!
Awesome video, I loved the jumping robot. I would love to learn ASL!
This really makes me want to try and invent something
Thank you so much.
i love asl
Don’t give up, keep trying!
this is such an amazing video and how its helping all of us to set more goals for ourselves!
I want to go back and make an outline of the steps for reaching your goals.

Thank you for always explaning things in such an understandable way! Thank Dr. B and Pajet!
lol Now I want to do ASL.
Woah interesting!
I would love to be able to be able to invent something one day!
I want to learn ASL.
I enjoyed the behind-the-scenes look in this video.
I do think American sign language is cool
Love this video! i want to grow up to be an inventor
ASL sounds like an interesting class that I would like to take in the future. It’s important that all students have the opportunity to learn, so I’m glad that Acellus has added this class.
It’s so inspiring to be an inventor.
I think American sign language is so cool and the fact that you guys made it a class we can take.
Love this
Acellus has ASL now? That is exciting! My mother wants me to learn American Sign Language. She says that people who are hearing impaired deserve to have the same social experience we all have when we go to public spaces. She says ASL should be required learning in school. I agree, but I’m not sure it’s easy to learn.
Definitely want to invent something
I truly commend you on taking on a task and bringing your idea to a reality with your first invention. Is there a very small percentage of people who attempted to bring their ideas to reality that actually made it through compared to the amount of people who gave it their all but just gave their all just to fail? i ask because it seems so impossible for the average person like me to actually have an idea go from idea to then being a sold and wanted bc your invention became reality.
RFID is so interesting. It’s crazy to think of how it works and the possibilities of inventions within radio frequencies!
It takes a lot of hard work to create such powerful devices.
I loved my ASL class when I took it!
I would love to invent something, I can provide for people.
Awesome!
I would like to invent something one day
The jumping robot was cool!🤖
ASL is so cool and interesting
I never knew Russia had bugged a gift that they’ve given to the U.S
so cool:)
how does the robot stay balanced
It’s interesting that people learn sign language and can use it to communicate like those of us who speak fluently. I could never imagine being able to speak a second language like that!
I would like to see a bunch of cool robots at a invention fair.
I LOVE THIS VIDEO!
Asl is so crazy amazing
GOOD VIDEO
It’s possible that millions of years ago that water flowed on Mars.
Wow I didn’t know ASL could be so fun!
Would love an ASL class! Would be very helpful in real world situations.
I take the ASL class here on acellus, and it is by far my absolute favorite class. Mrs. Donny always keeps things so interesting and it was amazing to see some of that incorporated into thsi video. you guys should try to do some signing more!
I loved learning ASL in elementary school it was so fun!
If it weren’t for inventors, our house would have no lights! How did that start?
I love learning ASL, that was so fun!
i just started learning asl so seeing that little bit was fun
