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!

    I still believe that teaching kids more challenging concepts such as coding from a young age can truly have an effect on the kids future cognitive logical abilities; specifically, since the brain is like a muscle it is extremely important to feed it knowledge and skills from a young age!

    The word and idea of inventioneering is really cool and a fun way to think about creating things. I agree with Dr. Billings that the space around you/your environment can impact your success with things like coming up with ideas or even just doing homework. Some of the tshirts they showed were really funny.
