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 love your science live and every subject in Acellus.
I love science live
Loved Robotics and love the history teacher
The best teachers ever!!
Hi from South Africa!
This Acellus Gold Edition is so fun, and I love the difrent courses
Hi from Virginia.
Hi from Ohio
Hi from West Virginia
I love dancing and I think since Pajet is a dancer she should teach a dancing course. I inventioned that idea:)
Wouldn’t let us comment last night during the live show, but she loved the live and came out talking all about. She did have a question on ,what even made you want to make a hydrogen car?
Happy Halloween from Texas!
Will the new class be for high school?
Observing this fantastic piece all the way from Bulgaria.
Hello Teachers, on average how long does it take to make an Acellus course?
Hi from Thailand.
Hi from Germany! I love watching R-51 “invent” pumpkin day!
how long does it take to be an engineer
Hello from the Dominican Republic
Dr. Rodger is so funny, as is R51, loved the shirt joke LOL
How old were you when you invented your first thing?
Loved today’s science live and t-shirt idea.
Hi from Dallas Texas!
Today in the “Technology Spotlight” I learned a lot about ultrasound and sonograms and I think that a 4 dimensional sonogram is an incredible idea and from the images and clips Dr. John showed in the video I believe that this would be very useful and accurate (for humans of course not just pigs).
How much will the shirt cost
R-51 is really funny, he makes me laugh.
Hi from VN!! Science is the bestttt!! Really enjoy it.
Best history teacher.
Hello from Texas
Watching from Idaho
love the conspiracies
Thanks for the inspiration on coding and shirt ideas. Happy Pumpkin Day.
Computer science is really cool , I had fun learning it
best part of my day! Can’t wait till next week Wednesday.
Hi from Alaska!
Quite lovely to see that students can now view the comments of each other under every live, interesting to read those.
Live itself was great overall. Nice to see ” r-51 ” again. Absolutely love the course idea!
Hopefully we will see some good shirt designs coming in soon.
Hello from Japan!! I love Science live, I learned so much from it, and its really fun to watch!
This was my first time watching science live. It was so much fun. I think a class on conspiracies and myths for history would so much fun. I think just talking about them is so much fun, a whole class would be amazing.
It was an interesting and inspiring episode to watch this week. It really gives me motivation to watch the science lives each week. I’m looking forward to the next one!
How do I know a problem is worth an invention?
Hi from California!
I’m from Tennessee. I wonder if you could review the distinction between an invention and a discovery.
I like that Acellus has decided to add conspiracy theories as a course.
I love Dr. Roger Billings his is so funny and makes my day sometimes.
The thoughts about conspiracy theories was intriguing
I like how you talked about how you have to put work and effort into what you want to do it wont just come you have to work for it. And when you work hard enough you will acheive it was really inspiring.
When inventing, if you have inspiration, hard work does not seem hard.
I like that T-shirt “A mean Oh acid “. It sure has an attitude!
I’m from Hawai’i n I love to learn about science
Science Live is interesting to me because of all the different topics they talk about with each separate live.
I love R-51
Thank you for this program. It is the best!
Hey guys! Today’s science live was super interesting! I’m really excited for the new conspiracy theories class, I have always been interested in it, so I can’t wait.
My family and I have really enjoyed watching the weekly videos. Thank you!
Is conspiracy theories gonna be in middle school or high school?
I loved the t-shirts they were unique and very funny
4D ultrasounds are genius.
Could ultrasound only be used in the medical field? How else could this technology be used?
These videos make me want to keep learning about Science
Hi from Tennessee! I am excited for the new course. I like the t-shirt idea as well. A part that amazed me was how a 3d picture of a pigs liver was able to be made and its so detailed
Hi from Massachusetts. The science live episodes are both entertaining and educational, making for a great combination!
science live is the best
This is a great idea for people to explore there their creative talents and ideas. Thank you for the information and I hope you have a wonderful week!
I love new inventions.
i love SCIENCE! live!!!!! It is so fun learning new stuff!
Sincerely Amaris.
I think inventions are cool and it will be cool to see how they will advance in the future
it so cool how many kids all around the world use acellus. Happy halloween
Hello from down in Merida in Mexico!! I love the Idea of conspiracies in History class!!
I made this shirt, I hope you like it!
Hello from Nevada! Love getting to tune in on Science Live! and I think the public comments are a great feature!
History is my favorite because of this teacher. He has great analogies. I can’t wait for this class. Why do you think people are so drawn to myths and mysteries?
The Synonym rolls shirt made me giggle. Thanks for the awesome video!
Acellas is the best
Hello from Tennessee, i cant for the new conspiracy theory course.
I’ve learned a lot about theories that focus on developing a product that can be implemented in practice, not just a theory.
Hi from Texas! I love his history class!
I love watching your lives there so funny and educational!
Watching Roger Billings every week gives me more insight about things around us, including things like science and technology. I love this weeks video about inventioneering!
This week’s show was great and R 51 was the best part!
I really love watching these science news live!
I love to do coding. I wish I could go that class in May by Mr. Todd. It sounds like it will be really interesting and fun. I hope I can do the course when it comes out.
Wow! This was fun to watch! I love the pumpkin guy.
It is fascinating to know how well people improve with practice in coding being exposed in early years of school, and how it effects and shows progress in other subjects! I wonder if it is because coding could help encourage creativity
Hi, Mr. Billings I hope your doing well.
I did not know about coding statistics and how beneficial coding is for students. I thought it’s super cool we’ve added a intro to coding course to acellus! I learned a lot about cameras and how they started off as something much bigger then the small cameras we have today. I’d love to take the conspiracy theory course with Dr. Edmond. I thought the t-shirts were hilarious. I always learn so much from these videos. From Missouri!
DraB said that a creative bedroom/work place can help you have more creative ideas and creative skills. But how could you make your work space more creative.
Here!
Can’t wait for new course!
i love science
All my family gathers together so we can watch Science Live all at once, Wednesdays are my new favorite <3
Hi from Georgia!
I was very interested when they talked about Area 51, that’s a topic I love talking about.
I really enjoy watching these science videos
Comment* Hi from Texas!
Love science live, and love Mr. Todd Edmond for History!
I love Science live, Coming from Florida😎
Oh wow, it is cool to see fellow students now! Hello from TX
Dr. B is so inspiring! I love to watch Science Live!
Hello, from NJ , I really enjoyed the part where they talked about the T-shirts and when they talked about Area 51.
I really love Tobias and Dr. John; they are my favorites!
To begin with, it is cool that Todd Edmond is on this episode Todd Edmond is a very smart teacher, and I think that he could become the next Roger Billings. Also, it is so amazing how much NASA has improved. For example, in the start of NASA . For example, NASA they could have not made such a awesome aircraft like the one they just made NASA has come a long way and NASA is only going to get better from here.
Loved the area 51 part and conspiracy theory!
Hi, the news about the new subject is so cool. This was awesome!
Hi Acellus I have created a shirt for people to know what to be a homeschool is.
I love watching the Roger Billings Scholarship Program. I enjoyed that Dr. Billings has dedicated his life to advancing education through technology.
Inventioneering is about coming up with new ideas and turning them into real things that can help people or make life easier. It’s kind of like being an inventor and an engineer at the same time because you get to imagine something and then figure out how to build it. Also can’t wait to see the new t-shirts!
Wednesday is my favorite day of the week. Why, you ask? Science Live. I live for Acellus. I was BORN for it. First thing I think about when I wake up? Acellus. Last thing I think about before going to sleep? Acellus. When I’m dreaming? Also Acellus. It’s all I do. Science Live is the highlight of my week, EVERY week. I eagerly wait for hours, ticking down the seconds until the show starts. I cook a Thanksgiving-esque feast every Wednesday in honor of Science Live. And I have a shrine set up in the corner of my room to the biology teacher Mark Rogers, too. Thank you so much Acellus, I love you!!! <3 ;^) I love the sonogram machine
Hello from Michigan! I really liked the camera presentation, Dr. Tobias is really funny!
Hi, I’m Lilabelle from Mexico!
I really enjoy learning from Science Live! R-51 always makes me laugh. This is a T-shirt I designed based on a science joke I made up.
Hi Dr.Billings I watched today’s video. I created some shirts that I hope you like them.
Hi Mr. Billings. My name is Madelyn Flores. I am from San Antonio, Texas. Did you know I want to be a scientist when I grow up? I want to be a marine biologist. What is your favorite experiment of all time?
I loved this, but I’m very intrigued about the conspiracy theories course! One of my favorite parts were when we saw the t-shirt designs
Mr Billings is very funny, i wish he made some appearances in some of my classes.
Hi from Spokane, WA! Tuning into Science Live is the highlight of every week!
The video was very interesting, thank you for the advice on how to inventionneer and not to lose sight of my goals. This episode of Science Live truly inspired me to become a better version of myself. I especially loved the part were Doctor Tobias gave the speech on the history of the camera. I believe everyone should be like Steve Sasson, who went to extreme length to make his idea a reality, the digital camera.
R 51 is my favorite part of the science lives.
I’m excited for the opportunity to design a t-shirt idea. I can’t wait to see which ones get picked!
Hello from NY! Wondering if there could be an actor or improv class that could be added.
Loved watching the science live, you are all great teachers.
This is an interesting topic because I might want to be a doctor. Thank you
I ALWAYS LEARN SOMETHING NEW AND INTERESTING FROM DR JOHN
This is my first week with acellus. I am excited to learn.

Today I have learned about Sonograms cameras and other inventions.
I really enjoy watching R-51, he makes me laugh. I liked when he said “Don’t just invent the shirt, Be the shirt” and i liked his dinosaur piggy bank.
Hi from Massachusetts! Love the show.
Creating a course of conspiracy theories would be excellent for those who enjoy diving deeper into theoretical and controversial topics and ideas!
Ha omg the pumpkin
I learn a lot from Mr Edmonds’ class.
Science live is the best time of the week so thank you Roger for the jokes and everything.
hey my day was good how was yours hope it was good
I think a shirt that glows in the dark would be cool
Inventing is cool

Can’t wait for the new history course!
We look forward to this every week.
I really enjoyed when Roger Billings was showing all the T-Shirts designs, I thought they were funny. I enjoy watching the science lives every week because i learn new things.
I would like the stuff in the middle of a circle with the words underneath and centered. I just really liked this Idea so I decided I would go and to turn it because I thought it was cute.
I can’t wait to see the new T-shirt.
The shirts were hilarious 😂
Do you think aliens really exist?
“I liked the pig kidney part!”
(Typed by mom)
I think it’s interesting that we can use coding to make a robot dance or use it for medical purposes.
Making a t shirt sounds like a lot of fun. Im new to acellus from South Carolina but new classes is good. I also enjoy watching the science live.I love that I can see who is in the leaderboard on classmates. Only thing I think would be better is a live classmates to talk to other people my age.
This is excellent, but hopefully the course on conspiracy theories is released ASAP!
I enjoy live science. (I’m from Florida.)
The new course seems like it would be a lot of fun
Hi from CA. My brother is getting a degree in computer science. Also, that history class looks cool!
This is excellent, but hopefully the course on conspiracy theories comes out ASAP!
Hi I’m from Texas and i really how amazing it was and the area one was so funny he made me laugh so hard sciencelive is the best!
A shirt that changes color with temperature. (from Georgia)
I really like the science behind all of this. It is very interesting.
I loved learning about about Area 51
it’s Wahuda from Atlanta. I love watching science live. What can we call someone who teaches conspiracy theories. We are looking forward to the new course about conspiracy theories. please could we get some more science and English courses?
