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 made this T shirt.
(Name:Maelee) My shirt :
This is my shirt design
My submission!
This shirt I designed was inspired by r-51’s admiration of Dr. Paget. Hopefully Dr. Paget will give her permission to use this.
In honor of Halloween I present my BOO shirt
Here is my shirt idea!
Hello, this is my T-shirt. I hope it gets chosen.
I’m 10 years old, and this is my t-shirt.
Here’s what I made
My shirt is a volcano with the logo, and the subjects are the lava exploding out. And on the back it has the logo with Acellus Academy.
Hi I’m Adrhianna I’m 16 years old and I live in upstate NY. I thought this is a really cute Idea because I am graduating with the class of 2026 I actually finish school in December on Christmas to be exact. But getting to the point I am sure there are quite a few of us on here that are graduating and looking for a cool shirt so I made a shirt for us graduate it is a graduation cap with a inspirational quote of “Believe you can and you are halfway there” it is by Theodore Roosevelt it hit me when I first read this quote because it tells me that when I believe that’s only half. So I hope this shirt gets picked and all of you seniors if this shirt does get picked that you guys like it as much as I do. Also I have a question about graduation, I would like to go to the graduation but even though I go through Acellus I do the cheaper version called Power Homeschool and I was just curious if us seniors graduating through Power homeschool would be allowed to be apart of the graduation ceremony. So if someone can find out and let me know I would appreciate it. Thank you.
This is my shirt do you like it?
Updated post. I accidently spelled something wrong the first time.
The shirt can come in different colors like white and navy blue with white writing. you could use this for a hoodie design too.
I made a cool car shirt!!!
My name is Wahuda I am currently an Acellus academy student. As we have been tasked to design our own t-shirts this not only shows our creativity but also gives us as students a chance to be problem solvers and critical thinkers. I was motivated by the fact that here in the United States it is fall (autumn) and in this time of the year we have some holidays one of them is thanks giving and there is one of the things I included in the theme of my shirt the second thing is the pumpkin every one knows in the us the season of autumn there are a lot of pumpkins these pumpkins are used as decorations and other are used for pumpkin pie and other deserts every one of us likes pumpkin pie so why don’t we include that in our them well it is included in the theme and that’s why the pumpkin in the middle has a math pie sign this not only showcases creativity but also the way I learned about pie which is 0.314 but also how I I used it in my life today to symbolize something else. Thanks have a happy thanks giving, and enjoy the rest of the season fall. Enjoy the season 🎃
My shirt would have an inspiring message on it with pictures related to science like in the example below:

Greetings, from California. I thought of this cool idea for Acellus merchandise. It’s probably not that clever, but it’d be funny concept.
I thought how Dr. Todd Edman is starting a new course about the problems on history was exciting! Here is my t-shirt design. Hope you like it.

This is my second year of being an Acellus student, Acellus has caught me up on subjects I was behind on and has helped me grow and learn many new things like new languages, and math! I love watching Science Live and learning new facts! My favorite part about Science Live are the R-51 segments! Dr. Roger Billings has helped many students all around the world. I love being apart of the Acellus community!
Sending love from South Carolina,

Hi! My name is Hollie. I am friends with a couple other students of Acellus Academy, who are seniors, but also athletes. Im sure there are tons of athletes who attend Acellus. I myself am an athlete. I thought it would be fun to create a jersey type of shirt. Jersey material. The front would say Acellus Academy. The right shoulder sleeve would have an American Flag on it, the left size would have the Acellus logo. And rhe back would say Class of ” “. The athlete would get to customize the number only to what year they graduate. I understand Acellus doesnt have sports and everything, but I think it would be so cool to have this in the shops. The jersey sleeves would be light gray. And the jersey would be navy blue,and fade into a lighter blue as it goes down. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE CONSIDER MY SHIRT. ( And the website I used was Creator Designs.)
My shirt will say “Science is the best subject”
This is my shirt!
my shirt will say vote for todd
my shirt would have a quote from the greek philosopher epictetus and it is “the greater the difficulty, the more glory surmounting it” 😁
my shirt would say science rocks! with rocks and planets
My shirt would be a planets with the Acellus logo
Shirt idea: “I was Hungary so I got some leftover Turkey but it had too much Greece so there was Norway I was eating that!” haha Country puns!

I made the pun myself.
This is my shirt idea

My shirt will say “VOTE FOR TODD!”
This my shirt .

Hey, I am Shyann! My shirt idea is this: The main color is black with a math grid(X-axis and Y-axis). To show the picture, it will be a white, yellow, or golden color. It will have an “u” on the upper half, and it center point will be at (0,0). The lower half will be an upside down “u” with its’ center point at (0,0). At the very bottom of the picture or underneath it, it will say, “You reflect U.” Why that? Take a look at reflection. It has the word “reflect” in it which has a similar meaning to mirror. A mirror can show you in it, causing a reflection. In informal text messages, people use “U” instead of “You.” So, if you combine these ideas together, it comes out like that. In another way of saying, “You reflect U,” it can be this: “You are the only to show people who you are; You can only show you.”
My shirt would have a picture of a mushroom man on it and it would say “I’m a fungi!”
This is my shirt design. Todd Edmond is my favorite teacher and I am really looking forward to his Epic Moments in world history class…
My name is Sadie Wallace and I’m from North Carolina. I’m not sure if my shirt sent so I’m just going to send it again . This is my shirt. It ‘s going to be a black, long sleeve shirt with fluff on the inside. The words will be in a font and will also be white. The science symbols will be colored too. Hope you like like it!
I think I would want my shirt to say “Science is apart of me” with a DNA symbol under it 🧬
Mine would say chemistry is lit- just don’t drop the beaker
My shirt idea would be a logo that says “chemistry is like cooking, just dont lick the spoon.”
my shirt says with every problem there is a solution
Gato means cat in Spanish and sounds like got to and meowing sounds like moving it should be a orange tabby cat
my shirt would be one of those you get done at a carnival and its airbrushed on with colors and it would say online school changes lives on the back
This is the back. (If the shirt gets chosen make it any color)
How about this
Here’s mine!
Hi from Montana! My t-shirt idea is an earth in the center with people holding hands around it saying “united by science”.
my shirt would have alot of flowers on it and say i love the earth
My shirt would be pink with a kitten in it saying ” You’ve got to be kitten me right meow” because I LOVE kittens.
This is the front.
My shirt would say; “It’s out of this world to think that aliens exit in space!”

Hi from the U.S Virgin Islands! This is my idea!! I love Acellus Academy so much!! Making the decision to homeschool was the best thing i ever could have done! I’m 13 and by the end of December I’m going be in 10th grade all thanks to Acellus, Roger Billings, Pajet, and all my wonderful teachers!! When I grow up I want to be either an astronomer, or a veterinarian! 1. Because I love stars and animals, and 2. Because Acellus taught me to love science!
Made this one hope you guys like it!

I wonder how NASA can make the jet go past the speed of sound without making a boom? Also, this shirt reminded me of Lady Pajet’s lesson on how to compose your life in Social and Emotional Health.
