Introduction to Inventioneering
October 29, 2025 • EPISODE 284
What does it really take to create something that changes the world? In this episode, Dr. Roger Billings introduces Inventioneering—the blend of creativity and engineering that turns ideas into reality. But inventioneering isn’t just for scientists and engineers—it can be applied to any career or project. Students are invited to take on a special challenge: design and submit their own t-shirt for a chance to have it featured in the Acellus Store!

r-51 is so funmy.
How did Steve Sasson think to stack multiple circuit boards on top of each other to create the first electronic camera?
Hi I love science live every week its always entertaining and fun to watch, i love this series!!!
hello from south carolina!!!
I’m from Texas and I love how they talked about Area 51 I was so interested in it they really do talk about some interesting stuff so thank you science live because this is my favorite time of the week
What are the things people do in conspiracy theories and I think they should make a cooking class for future chefs like me hope to see y’alls t-shirts
I can’t believe that Kodak rejected the idea of a digital camera when it was first proposed.
R-51 is so funny
These live videos are real education — practical, insightful, and genuinely valuable. I look forward to them every week!
The shirts made me laugh 🤣
*The T-Shirt thing seems pretty interesting and I am curious to know if there are other similar programs.*

Hi from TX. I enjoyed the live video a lot.
Proud of you guy’s. I really love history so I’m glad you included Todd Edmund. He was great last year as a teacher so I’m very happy.
I loved the analogy you used about our room. Inventing a way to have a cleaner or an improved environment that made me see mundane tasks in a new light.
Hello from New Jersey.
I liked the story of the 4d imaging
Hi, from Nevada!

Hello from Texas. I love doing these classes !
Hello everyone! I like how we’re able to see each other’s comments. While I don’t code I did find it kinda fun with the Acellus Bot and making it dance. I wonder if ultrasound can be used in areas other than the medical field.
Hi from Charlotte
I really liked that we could be inventors in our own homes and I also think that Mr tobias is very interesting
Hello from Tennessee!
Looking forward to the new history course!
The conspiracies in history class seems like such a creative idea for a course. I’m also curious if there’s going to be more unique classes such as the one mentioned here?*
I love conspiracy theories! will absolutely be enrolling.
While I haven’t currently thought of a t-shirt to design, I love the idea! And also, where can I learn more about Todd Edmond’s new class? I love conspiracy theories!
i love how mr. billings and paget are always giving us a good laugh. I also love how Rodger Billings is giving us some new funny videos each week, which are so exciting to see and learn from.

Dr. B, did you coin the term “inventioneer”?
hello from wisconsin
I wonder where they got the object that they put in the camera to make colors?
Just gave me an idea!
I love Acellus! Tx
When will the new History course be released? Also, how many credits will it count for?
Also, there should be a more advanced library option in Acellus for high school students to read the works of other students, collaborate on a story, and write their own tale. A more age appropriate version without teddy bear stickers, haha.
P.S. Hey from Delaware! 🙂
It’s always a pleasure to learn science with you all on Wednesdays!
I love Science!!!! Thank you.

Very interesting video Mr. Billings!
The super jet reminds me of sonic the hedgehog and how fast they are. My coding class on Acellus was so much fun. I am ready for the next one. I was able to use my coding at NASA in Houston.
Hey from NC
I was born in Okinawa, Japan. I always like learning from science live. I like learning about sound waves and the electromagnetic spectrum, particularly because my parents are Geospatial Intelligence Analysts. They use this quite a lot in their jobs so it is always interesting to see how it is applied in other fields.

Four D will revolutionize how we do medical procedures! So cool!
Hi from the Dominican Republic
Hi from Kentucky
As someone who is currently learning photography, I find it very interesting that one of the first iterations of a digital camera uses a cassette tape. I wonder if it could be possible to make a modern camera with this function, it would be fascinating to learn how to use one like that!
Now that you think of it everything has sensors on them!
Hi, I like science live. I am from MN.
