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 think the 4D sonograms will help doctors save a lot of people.
I love Acellus way better than public school best life choice made!
The plane doesn’t make a BOOM that is so cool!
r51 invented a little hat, Lol r51 is so funny
This is Andrew from Indiana. I designed a shirt with a picture of headphones on the front of the shirt because I like to listen to music.
How many miles per hour is faster than the speed of light.
I’m excited for the new course! Todd Edmond is a great teacher, what grade would the course be for? Do you have other classes in progress and would it be possible to add a ASL 2 course so then we can get 2 language credits?
Great Science Live, learning about early history of digital photography is awesome, and it’s neat to hear Edmond getting to record the conspiracy class.
Dr B I think your really funny in a good way!
I don’t really expect this to win. I just did this for the laughs.
I am constantly inventing in the world of art! I make dragon puppets!! 😀

If I ever meet r 51 I am Defently going to make a shirt just like his.
As soon as you guys started saying conspiracy theories, I freaked out (so much that I scared my mom) and immediately turned up the volume on my tablet. I was literally talking about how much I wanted this class yesterday to my friends!
What was the resolution or image quality of the first portable digital camera? I realy enjoyed this section of the episode.
R5 1 reminds me so much of my grandpa, he is so funny!
Hi Acellus, i made a t-shirt for music lovers, also it has a social emotional sentences that will help people to not be a problem maker instead be a problem solver, the shirt has 🎼 that means trouble. Also. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to make a shirt.
So excited for the Conspiracy Theory Class with Dr. Edmunds.( I can’t wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Science Live is the highlight of my day every week!!!
Hi from Alabama. I do think if more schools implemented STEM, literacy rates would go up in America.
Out of all the teachers, i like Dr. John the best!😄😁
Really pumped over Todd Edmond’s new course! Not your typical history class either, so I’m really excited to see where this goes!
I’m so excited to make a shirt, i hope I can get some some money.
This was one of my favorite episodes!! I am ecstatic about Dr. Edmonds new class, and I’m really hoping to take it before I graduate next school year. Is there an estimated release date? Also, I was fascinated by the t-shirt designing contest! Thank you Dr. Billings for this unique opportunity!
There are countless holes and gaps in history. This new course could build deeper and a new sense of our environment. Good scientists ask questions!
Dr. John is a great science teacher
Wow I didn’t know the conspiracy theories class would actually be a thing! That’s super exciting news.
I would love to ride in a plane that goes faster than the speed of light!
can the supersonic jet go upside-down?
Todd is truly the best history teacher I’ve studied under
I like how the pumpkin was included
here is an idea

Thank you so much Dr. Billings for all your hard work in science and with Acellus! The idea to design a tee-shirt and see if it sells seems like a great way to start off an inventioneering journey!
We are excited for the new course!
Hello I’m Raven from Texas. My question is if the NASA spaceship can travel at the speed of light and be about the sound of slamming a car door how much fuel would have to be used? My second question is Why do they have to use the micro bubbles if they are exposed see with sound?
I love science live I learn so much I can’t wait to make my own t shirt thank you!

HOW DOES A SONIC MACHINE WORK TO LOOK IN YOUR BODY
I like that doctor they can use ultra sound to see the organs to see if the person is ok inside.
This Science live really brought out my curiosity
Hey! just wanted to say my great-grandpa helped with the super sonic aircraft the SR-71! So this leap in technology is really neat!
Mr. Edmund is my favorite teacher and I can’t wait to take that new course!!
Creative, practical problem-solving to improve society.
Hiiii my name is Brynley this show rocks!!!😆
Tofay I learned. Steve Sasson, a Kodak engineer, put images on a cassette tape when he invented the first digital camera in 1970s. The camera took black and white photos on a cassette.
I love science, it makes the world go round.
The conspiracy Theory class looks really cool!
I love Todd Edmund and his classes!
I love Science live, it litterally rocks!!!
Where will the inventioneering fair be.
How fast is the supersonic jet?
I want to take the Conspiracy Theory class with Dr. Edmunds. Is this going to be a social studies class or elective?

Hello from Missouri!
I am not really a science girl, but science live made learning science better! From:Knoxville,TN 🙂
P.S. here is my shirt idea!It says, “Parallel lines have so much in common…it’s a shame they will never meet.”
Hello from NJ. I typically comment in a different format so I hope this is working correctly. I enjoyed R-51 and the video as a whole. Thanks
I’m from Texas!! love science live
What is invetioneering and it is a job?
I thought that the lesson about the Kodak camera was really interesting. It shows how just one faulty wire can make or break the outcome of an amazing invention.
Coding is definitely something we should learn! I like that Acellus offers it
I’m excited to create a design for the contest!
I really enjoyed learning about the planes because I know about the B-2 bomber which is another really cool plane that was built to be quiet.
The X-59 is an interesting aircraft from NASA however, I would like to know the specifications
The t-shirts are so cool.
in what year did you make your hydrogen car
The NASA Quiet supersonic jet looks intriguing and can travel faster than speed of sound, which is pretty cool. I am curious to hear this boom sound that it makes.
I love learning something new each week. Thank you.
Hi from Virginia. I look forward to creating a shirt for the store!
I always enjoy joining science live every week it always keeps me entertained.
Hi, from California. Fun shirt idea!
Today’s history with Tobias was quite interesting and fantastic
Hi I am from Illinois.
I love your show i am from Virginia . hope you have a great day
The Kodak camera back in the day was a really fascinating invention. It is amazing how one wire can change the outcome of the entire product. Also, the class on conspiracies, theories, and myths look really interesting! I enjoy hearing other’s theories, so I believe it would be a fun one to take.
Hi from Alabama
Hi from NJ !!!
I loved Mr. Edmonds’ history class it was really interesting!
Do you have to start coding at an early age to be really good?
Hi from New Jersey.
Happy to hear that coding is still in high demand because I am interested in the field.
This video was good and made me want to lean more about science and jobs.
Conspiracy theories sounds like fun. I want to find a problem that I can invent a solution to.
Hi! im from Florida 😀
omg look at the pumpkin
I learned that a clean room sparks creativity
HI I am from Tennessee, and I love watching theses videos!
I’m really excited for the conspiracy theory class.
can you make acellus bot plushies
I think it is awesome how they are able to shrink a sound so strong it shakes the ground! I wonder just how they did it? The jet looked longer than usual, I wonder if there is something about the design?
Unrelated to the stream—whats the fastest way to get credits? Im second on the leaderboard in my “class” and I crave the academic validation of being 1st
I also love the shirts!!! :):):):)
Comment* The pigs liver kind of looks like a tree!
Hi from Alabama!
Loved this – so inspiring
Hello from Mississippi; I enjoyed the camera presentation
Hey!!! its lilith from Georgia !
Nice presentation!! I think the “:): you decide” shirt was very nice!
Greetings from Virginia! I am in 7th grade now, and I love my classes and teachers.
I didn’t know that you had to wait days to get your film from a camera back then!
I love the part about tech and coding. i was taught basic block code in elementary and have been teaching myself. it is very fun and creative and useful.
